What a great day! Today was stake conference and we were honored to be visited by Elder Jeffry R. Holland and his wife, Patricia. A church leader is his position has not visited here in 26 years. How blessed are we to have them come after only arriving two months ago??
Brad and I were lucky enough to both get to attend the leadership training before the general session. It was amazing. We all met together briefly then the ladies were taught by Sister Holland and the men with Elder Holland. They were both so down to earth and funny. After the conference we had a huge pot-luck dinner. It was such an honor to meet them and even have the kids pose for a picture with them. Sister Holland told Whitney that her granddaughter was also 16 and that she knew, if they were together, would be great friends! Isn't this picture the greatest?!?

Holy Cow! That is so incredible!! Wow:) I don't even know what to say - great picture!
That is fantastic!! I bet your whole ward was thrilled. But how did they get permission to come??
Wow, that's awesome!!
How fun!! I am glad Whitney and Evan were able to get a picture with him. While Chris was on his mission Elder Nelson visited but they were not allowed to ask him for a picture.
But somehow Chris and his companion took pictures of him anyway.
Gota love it.
