Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Today was a pretty exciting day of religion for Jeremy and I. We had Stake Conference today in New Orleans instead of meeting for our regular meetings. Now let's face the facts here. I am as guilty as anyone in sometimes thinking that Stake Conference is code for "free week". Well, not this time! We were very privileged today to have Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles as one of the speakers at our Conference session. This was particularly exciting for me because I've never actually been to a live session where any Apostle has spoken...believe that! I guess this is one of the perks to living outside of Utah. And, apparently Gladys Knight was one of the speakers at the previous Stake Conference here. Anyway, It was such a neat experience to have an Apostle of the Lord speaking right there in front of me. Elder Uchtdorf is an amazing speaker, and I doubt that I will soon forget this experience.
