Special Day

We had the priviledge of attending Stake Conference last sunday in Bozeman and it was a wonderful meeting! We have an amazing Stake President here and his words are always very powerful and uplifting. I want to share just a few thoughts:

Do you have any part of the world in your home? How do we dress? What language do we use? What TV do we watch or movies? How can we remove ourselves from the things of the world and focus on family? I have been trying to do this. It seems to be a constant battle with all that we are exposed to each and everyday.

We also were very excited to hear from Elder D. Todd Christofferson. It was a big event for an apostle to come to Montana, in fact they mentioned that they only come every 16 years or so.

He spoke about how our covenants give us strength in a difficult world. And the Prophets messages of young men to serve missions, strengthening our marriages, rescue those who are drifting, and minister to the rising generation (our children).

After the meeting was over, Elder Christofferson invited all the children to come up and shake his hand. He commented to Zach how much he liked his suit and tie, and thanked Carter and Gavin for coming. It was so touching that I couldn't help but cry as I watched my boys. They seem to be getting older each day.

We love all of you! We think of you daily and pray for you. I hope everyone is feeling joy and comfort in our Saviors love.
