New Mission Presidents' Seminar



'Today you are You, that is truer than true.

There is no one alive who is Youer than You."

--Dr. Seuss



This is how Sister Bowen, the wife of our Area President, summarized her excellent teaching to the four new mission presidents' wives today as she reminded them they were called for their unique talents She asked them not to try to compare themselves with their predecessors (?sp) or anyone else. She shared verses 3-6, 9, 11-13 of Doctrine & Covenants 31.

Dr. Petersen was invited to talk with the new mission presidents' wives about how they take care of the medical needs of the missionaries.


More later...I'm going crazy trying to create this blog without my mouse. My new electronic one the kids sent me for my birthday is not working, and I guess I didn't get my old one in the computer case when we left the office just before 9pm, after getting their at 4:30 this afternoon after our day downtown at the Hilton Hotel for the Seminar.


I'm rather weary from being up an hour or so in the middle of each night, having to sit to relieve the back pain. Yes, my Mom is right "Getting old isn't for wimps." But I think I'm pretty wimpy.


The photo of us is inside the lobby. The gaucho painting is one at the hotel that we really liked.
