Blessed

I'm sorry, no photo today. Today Stewart and I had our Sunday afternoon session of Stake Conference. I woke up feeling very sick, yet again. I decided no matter what, I would go and make it through all of Conference that I could, and I am so glad I did. We had excellent speakers: our stake president, President Packard, and his wife, the Rexburg temple President and Matron, and Elder Chambers of the Seventy. He Told a funny story about Elder Oaks. (Stewart, you can correct me if I incorrectly tell the story.) Almost simultaneously, Elder Chambers and Oaks pulled various pills and vitamins from  their pockets. Elder Chambers had just a few, like his Omega-3; Elder Oaks had a whole handful. He turned to Elder Chambers, smiled, and said, "I am a "pillar" of this Church." Made us all laugh! I love hearing the "behind-the-scenes" stories from and about our General Authorities. After making it through Conference and taking a nap, I headed to Stew's for a barbecued rib dinner, even though I still was not feeling great. While waiting, I started feeling worse, and finally got the impression to ask for a blessing from Stewart. I am so grateful to have him in my life, and to know he is fully worthy to pronounce blessings on my head when I am in need. I progressively started to feel better, and just staying close to him helped. I am so excited for the day that I will always have him at my side; I feel secure when we are close.
