General Conference is always great - no matter what country we're in when it's happening. We do miss being with our kids/grandkids for it, so for now we'll rely on the memories of our past Gen'l Conference times together.
Walt came home last night from Priesthood meeting, all excited as when he and our sons/sons-in-law would all burst in to the room of waiting wives and kids to give us the latest "scoop." (Priesthood was 9:00-11:00pm here...)
"President Uchtdorf is something else!" Walt exclaimed. We both agree that before his call into the Quorum, and now the First Presidency, we didn't realize how dynamic and well-spoken he is.
While I finished chopping the celery for the Hawaiian Haystacks that four of us couples are serving 24 people between the Sunday sessions, Walt went over the highlights of each of the Priesthood session speakers.
It was reafirmed to me that The Lord is in charge, as our Prophet, President Monson told us Saturday, April 4:
"In the world today we face difficulties and challenges, some of which can seem truly daunting. However, with God on our side we cannot fail."
"The new apostle Elder Neil L. Andersen, age 57,born in Logan, was raised in Pocatello, Idaho, on a dairy farm.
"He graduated from Brigham Young University and earned a MBA from Harvard University. After completing his education, he settled in Tampa, Florida, where his business interests included advertising, real estate development, and health care.
Elder Andersen and his wife Kathy have 4 children and 12 grandchildren." paraphrased from KSL News clip.
Let's all learn to spell his name with "sEn".
