Special Sermon

I work at the Church Office Building, doing catering. This past week we were very busy with luncheons for the General Conference this weekend.

So on Thursday and Friday we served 350 members of our Church's General Authorities, including President Monson and his counsellors.

President Monson is a very friendly man, who

loves to talk with people.

His table was the last to leave the luncheon both days.

Friday there was about 5 of us "lunch ladies" left in

the ball room cleaning up when President Monson was leaving.

I was over by his table and asked him if he remembered

Paul's father Vernon Hemingway. (They were in the same

church ward way back when).

He was so friendly and said that he remembers a Counselor of his,

Eugene Hemingway. He then went on to talk to us for about 15-20 minutes.

He bore his testimony that God does live, and gave us a few

examples. He had been a bishop at age of 23, having 84 widows in his Ward.

He always visited them, even after being released as Bishop.

He was able to speak at ALL of these sisters funerals. Even as he

traveled for the Church weeks at a time.

What a special sermon we were able to

enjoy.

I am so grateful to be able to

"rub shoulders" with so many of the

leaders of our Church, by being a

caterer.

General Conference was very inspirational for me

once again.

He wanted to take them to Kennecott;

Look what Sally made! ( a long, long time a go)

I made this for my mom's mom, Nanny,

When Nanny died, I got the little chick back.

Paul is a unofficial Red Hatter

Today we had Red Hats at our house for ice cream sundaes, and watch the movie Momma Mia. Paul was a real trooper, he even wore a red shirt, and red Ute's baseball cap. He was on the phone with 2 of the girls giving driving directions, made the delicious popcorn and was a great movie projectionist.

All the "girls" like him.
Thank you, Honey Bunny!
P.S. Donna is pictured above, she just got back
from Mardi Gras

Not much going on...

Not much going on around our place,

Maggie and Sophie, resting up after a

long exhaustive day!

I planted this Amaryllis bulb before Christmas,

I thought it was dead, it didn't do anything for 2 months.

The dirt in the pot even started to get mold!

But low and behold, look what grew !!
