The Matute family has lived in Salt Lake City for the better part of six years, but they aren't about to start taking for granted the chance to attend general conference twice a year.

"As a family we always want to come and take part in conference, and in that way be able to pay more attention to the conference," said family patriarch Melchizedek Matute after attending the Sunday morning session in the Conference Center.

Brother Matute (pronounced mah-TU-tay) brought his wife, Glenda, and daughter, Emily, to the United States from Honduras in August 2003. Since immigrating, younger daughter, Nicole, was born.

In addition to the spiritual blessings associated with attending conference, the Matute family uses conference weekends as opportunities to snap some scenic family photos.
