Special Hands :)

This last weekend we had a special Stake Conference. Elder Bednar came and spoke. He is such a great speaker and I love to hear him. He always has such a powerful message for all. He started out by addressing all of the non-members that were there. He then went on to give us all such a wonderful message of Heavenly Fathers' love for all of us and our Agency. In the middle of the Conference, right before Bednar was to speak, the fire alarm went off. The entire building had to be cleared before they would reset the alarm. While we were waiting Laton went and walked around with some friends. They saw Elder Bednar and went over and shook his hand. Laton came back and was so excited to tell us the news. After the conference was over Logan said- "I will meet you at the car." Little did we know that he was going to see if he could shake Elder Bednars hand as well. He was able to get a handshake also. I was so happy to hear that my boys thought that was the highlight of the conference to be able to shake an apostles hand. This picture is of Logan and Laton shaking hands.

On a side note- we asked the kids what they had learned at conference. Logan and Meghan told us something they had learned. When we got to Laton he had to think for a minute then he said "He started to tell a story about a girl with a weird name and how people weren't nice to her- and then I don't remember what else he said because it made me think about a story I heard at Generel Conferece and I was thinking of that the rest of the time." He did remind us of the story he had heard at G.C. so we knew he wasn't bluffing. Barry and I laughed- at least he was thinking about another talk from General Conference and not something else- like picking daisies on the baseball field. :)
