because some stories really matter
Sweet breads, kale and sweet potato soup, and chourico. These are the things I could expect when my family and I would drive from Virginia to Massachusetts to see all of my grandparents. My grandmothers would speak Portuguese to each other as we all sat together in one of their living rooms eating and visiting. I can smell the food and hear the language when I close my eyes and remember those days.
The event will be sponsored by Family Search and Cherish Bound and will be all about getting your story told. No, it is not an event solely for LDS people. There are already people from all over that are buying tickets and planning to come. It is going to be so worth your time. Look, I am a very busy person (like many of you), but when something just feels right when you hear about it, don't you want to be a part of it? Getting those stories told about your family is like figuring out who you are. It is meaningful stuff, and I am excited about attending. If you are a family historian, a genealogist, a blogger, or simply someone who wants to become one of these, please mark your calendar now.

I had no idea about that Portuguese connection, Kaz. Were your grandmothers from Portugal, or Brazil?
And like you, I feel that this conference is important. Not just fun, but significant. Thank you for sharing this information with your readers. I can't wait to see everyone there.
