This past Sunday we had the opportunity to attend Stake Conference. We were very lucky to have an apostle of the Lord come and speak to us. We heard from a lot of different people who did excellent but we were able to hear from Elder D. Todd Christofferson. It was so amazing to see an apostle standing before us and speaking directly to us. It was a wonderful experience.
We all sat as a family....except Leisha. She went a couple of rows up and sat with Jon and his family. And of course, Elder Christofferson comes and shakes peoples hands. Well lucky Leisha and Jon got that luxury....YES...they shook the hand of an apostle of the Lord!!! How amazing that would've been!! Later I went to the restroom and found Leisha in there. She looks at me and says, "I don't want to wash my hands." We all thought that was pretty funny. It was a wonderful experience and we are truly grateful for the prophet and his apostles who lead in these latter days.
