Burley Trip

Our trip to Burley this weekend is because Scott's dad has been in the Stake Presidency for 18 years. He was called as the first counselor and when his 9 years were over they called him to be the Stake President. Any way his 9 years as Stake President were up and everyone headed to Burley to see him get released by Elder Dallin H. Oaks (his wife even came). He & his wife stayed at Barbara and Larry's house for the weekend. We stayed at my dad's house. Larry did a great job on his talk on Sunday and it's going to be a real change for him & Barbara. After 18 years of church meetings it's going to take a little getting use to all the time on thier hands! As we were sitting down for stake conference to start Elder Oaks was going around shaking every one's hands. I was so busy getting Shaydon's coat off and toys and snacks ready I didn't see him coming around. So it caught me off guard, but we all got to shake his hand multiple time before the day was over. We were all able to meet Elder Oaks and his wife on Sunday after lunch. They were very nice to take the time to meet all of us and ask if we had any questions for him? No one asked a single question. To nervous I guess. Elder Oaks is a very deep speaker but today seem to speak very warm and loving & on our level. He did a GREAT job. This was the 1st time any of us have meet a general authority. What a amazing opportunity.
