HOLY! Literally!

Best Sunday EVER! So we had our family get together this weekend at the Lundell's. As part of that, we went to Music and the Spoken Word this morning. We got there pretty early so we ended up like right in the front rows. We are sitting there chatting with each other and listening to the warm-ups from the choir and orchestra. All of the sudden, President Monson walks in and right past us! It was so cool. I had never seen a Prophet that close up before. BUT WAIT! It gets better. The program was wonderful and the music was beautiful. After the program was over, we stand up as President Monson walks out. Then, he stops at our family and starts talking with us! He shook hands with Stockton and Carson and talked with them and then shook hands with Great Grandma Blackburn and talked with us for a couple more minutes after that. It was so cool and such a neat experience for us all. Afterwards, we walked around Temple Square for a little while and saw all the stuff at the visitors center. Anyway, here are some pictures from the tabernacle and President Monson. I felt weird taking pictures of him like he was a celebrity but hey, when will we ever have this opportunity again? (It's okay, they said we could take pictures before and after the program. Also, there was a professional photographer there taking pictures when President Monson was with our family so look for those to turn up somewhere!)
