One of the benefits of living in Utah is that we are so close to the General Authorities of the Church. We are also close to many of their families. I found out last week that one of the members of the Presidency of the Seventy’s children lives in our ward. How did I find this out? Well, let’s just say that when I walked into the chapel, there he was sitting next to our bishop.
I actually could have met him too because I walked up to give our bishop the news about Ariana so he could announce it to the ward. I thought the unfamiliar man next to him might have been our stake president so I was this close to introducing myself but alas… I am too shy. You should have seen the regret on my face when it was announced that Elder Dennis B. Neuenschwander was presiding over our meeting.
That’s what I get for not being friendly. I have such a hard time breaking the ice with strangers. I don’t have the Adam and Alexis Thunnell gift of being able to meet people. (I’m sorry for embarrassing you guys but it is true.. you have a gift.) I need to work on that.
At least I got to hear him speak for 5 minutes. He talked about sacrifice. I just loved sitting in his presence. Being around the Nephi’s of our day always tugs at my heartstrings. It makes me want to be better than I am.
I love Utah.
I truly am in Zion.
