I can't believe we missed him!!!

So, we have been crazy busy this weekend. visiting sisters house, as my parents were in town for her baby's blessing. When we got back on sunday to go to some meetings after church, we were informed that president (don't laugh at my spelling) Uchkdorf? came to our ward. Usually when a general authority visits, they sneak in last minute, but he came early and went around shaking hands and talking with ward members!!! That was new and different. We've had president hinkley visit our ward 3 times. This ward really is fun, because we have genearl authorities visit alot, compared to most wards, as there is a home here in our town that someone donated to the church. So they stay here when working on things in our area and between trips etc. It is really neat. We were totally bummed to have missed meeting president uchkdorf...that what we get for sluffing our ward and going to my sisters! ;) Hopefully anothe opportunity will present itself in the near future.

Wow, what a neat ward. Pres. Hinckley visited three times and now Pres. Uchtdorf! It sounds like it will just be a matter of time before Pres. Monson will visit. Lucky!!!

What a bummer...I really like Pres. Uchtdorf. Well, it would have been a neat opportunity. I guess it serves you right for being so supportive of your family...haha!

Sorry dude!
Well, Avery and I were glad you were with us! I hope he comes again for you, though, and that you can forgive us. :-)

Wow that is awesome. I love that pres. Hinkley has been there 3 times too, what a great experience to be able to meet apostles and prophets of the Lord. At least you had a good excuse!
