Meeting an Apostle

With Stake Conference last week, we had the honor of having a member of the Quorum of 12 Apostles come to our area to preside and give us counsel. It was a wonderful weekend, and on Sunday morning, our stake primary had a surprise for Elder D. Todd Christofferson.

The entire primary gathered in the primary room about 45 minutes before the morning session of Stake Conference, grouped according to height, so it looked like they were on a sloped stage.

Abby waited reverently.

Elder Christofferson came in just beaming at the kids- take a look at video of the two songs they sang- Abby is in the middle of the second row.


I Love to See The Temple

I Am a Child of God


Afterwards we spoke to the stake president and his wife, who are family friends, and Abby and Dad got a chance to shake the Apostle's hand, and he leaned over and gave her a hug! Abby said she felt "really good" when she shook his hand. It was a wonderful conference, and we were blessed to be in the presence of a special witness of Jesus Christ.
