Well that doesn't happen every day.

So on Sunday May 17th we had a special stake conference with Elder Anderson presiding. We got to the chapel just minutes before it started and of course with an apostle there it was just busting at the seams. Jennifer and I were about to see if we could find seats in the gym when Brother Gardner from our ward walked in and asked if we needed seats, we replied in the affirmative and he guided us up to the front of the chapel, just three rows from the stand.

Well after the opening speaker and musical number the program simply read something to the effect of "Elder Anderson to determine the balance of the meeting". He had decided that he wanted to hear from someone who was at each of the three special meeting they had, he noticed Jenn and asked the stake presidency about her. They all thought it was a great idea so President Earl went up to the podium and asked Jennifer to share her thoughts on the Friday meeting. Once she was finally convinced that he had in fact said her name she made her way up there, I thought that she was going to faint, bear in mind this was a huge meeting. President Chamberlain later confided that he feared she might throw up.

Once Jennifer got to the microphone however, something amazing happened. The Spirit really blessed her in knowing what to say. I have never heard her speak that clearly, concisely and with that level of conviction. I was so proud of my wife, she was amazing. What a neat experience to be noticed by one of the apostles and for them to place that much trust in you. I knew that she was equal to the task.
