I'm still here


It seems like I haven't had a chance to just relax. I have been busy since Christmas and now is the only time it seems to have quieted down. We had Christmas which was nice. Then two weeks later we had stake conference, I was busy helping my husband get ready. We had a General Authority come and it was Elder James Hamula. I help my husband by copying the programs for Sunday, which took all of Saturday morning! He had extra meetings to go to. The nice part was on Saturday between priesthood and the adult session they had a dinner for the Stake Presidency and Elder Hamula, Temple Presidency and Mission counselor. My husband and I got to sit with Elder Hamula along with President McKeon, Amy and Sol Kewanekene. It was a nice experience. Found out that Elder Hamula and Darryl served in the same mission, when they went on their missions. Elder Hamula told us story about one of his daughters. He even asked Amy and I for our opinions which left both at first with nothing coming to our minds. Amy answered first and I thought I was off the hook but he asked me. By the time he asked me I had an impression in my mind as what to answer. The question he asked us "What do you think the concerns of the women of the Whittier stake are?" Working with the youth I have seen that they have a way harder set of challenges then when I was there age. It is frightening to see how the world has changed.
