These last 24 hours have been pretty awesome, well minus the fact that BYU lost to Air Force yesterday but I'll try to dwell on that. This weekend was a Stake/Regional conference. Last night was stake conference and our stake president had his mission president come and speak to us. He is like 93 and was totally hilarious. And the super cool part? He brought the only Book of Mormon that has ever been in space! It was his and he brought it to show us and it was totally awesome.
This morning was a regional conference that they broadcasted from the Marriot Center. I didn't know until they showed up, but President Packer and Elder Holland were in attendance today. After they came in and everyone sat down, the audience started talking a little bit and then all of a sudden Elder Holland stood up at the podium and told us that we needed to be quiet because the meeting started with President Packer walked in. Woo the place went quiet really fast. Steven E. Snow and Julie B. Beck also talked and it was really good! Then President Packer stood up. Let me just say that I have never seen President Packer that funny. He was cracking jokes like I've never seen. It was nice to see him out of his General Conference seriousness.
Tonight we had a CES Fireside and Elder Richard G. Scott talked. It was something that I had never seen before. He got up to start talking and then all of a sudden he just walked away from the podium and off to the side there was this couple sitting there and he started interviewing them. It was so sweet to hear him talk about his wife and children that had passed away. I had no idea about his children but he gave a really good talk about marriage.
So needless to say I'm getting pretty excited. I feel like I just experienced it this weekend after hearing 3 apostles and others but I'm looking forward to hear what they have to say next.
