Back from service held in Phoenix

     I made it back from Phoenix; I love Phoenix J I would never want to live there, but I LOVE to visit. Great family time, these weekend trips. So I went up with Chris, a member of youth, and his mom and grandma, it was a pleasant journey, short too, only 2 hours. We arrived, checked into there hotel, hung out for half an hour, then my parents arrived from Vegas and picked my sister and I up and took us to check into our hotel. After we settled we went out for dinner (the café down stairs) we were having a great time at dinner, every one was in a good mood, then retired Priest and Sister Klien from El Paso walked in, so they joined us for dinner as well, we are all great friends with them, so we chatted a while and ate a good meal.

     After dinner my sister and I discovered the meeting place where all the Apostles on up were gathering for there mandatory dinner/lecture with the District Apostle so we hung out right outside the door and took our pictures with as many high ranked minsters we could. We only found two, we saw plenty of deacons, rectors and priests but most of the higher ups were already seated, we did find the Bishop Whited, and the Apostle Schmitt!

 i PROMISE you that i didn't plan on wearing my basketball shirt again! why do i wear it all the time?

     Come Sunday we had a beautiful service held by the District Apostle Kolb. Towards the end of service the fire alarm went off! Thankfully it was only a false alarm, BUT while we were evacuating the building I had the opportunity to shake the District Apostles hand :D believe it or not, even evacuating was fun, the Bishop is such a goof, he comes running over with my sister saying “Quick! Lets get one [photo] in front of the fire truck!” ha ha

     After service things settled down, I guess there was an apostle from back east that has never been to In & Out Burger and the Bishop was all “W-wh-what?!” so my dad took them both to In & Out :P 

After we were invited to the District Evangelist’s house for supper. Then we headed home again. Great weekend!
