Elder Richard G. Scott



Yesterday Elder Scott came to speak to our Stake. We left our house with plenty of time to make it to the meeting... about an hour and 45 minutes early. Abby really wanted to sit where she could see him. (At Stake Conferences before we end up in one of the other rooms where you watch on TV). We arrive at our Stake Center about an hour before the meeting starts. After finding our seats I decided it would be best to walk around the building with the girls. So we walked around and after a few times around we found a shady spot to sit and play a few games. We were playing charades when a car pulls up and our Stake President gets out and so does Elder Scott! He is about 20 feet away from us we go over to meet him. We got to shake his hand. He told me what beautiful daughters I have. He talked to Abby for a minute. He asked her what her name was she said "Abby" and he replied "My name is Richard." It was really neat to be able to shake the hand of an apostle. He had love emanating from his countenance. It was awesome!

Wow!! You didn't mention this on the phone yesterday. What a great experience for your family. I'm glad you walked around the building. I bet the girls, especially Abby really listened to his talk.
