An Apostle

We had Stake conference this weekend where we were privileged to have Elder Christofferson attend. This morning Letty decided that she wanted to write him a letter which we thought he may or may not get depending on circumstances. We were fortunate that when we got there he was on the stand with the Stake Presidency so T-man took her up to deliver the letter. He talked to her for a minute and shook her hand. After they came back and sat down we saw him open and read it and then they all chuckled. The letter simply said her name and age and something to the affect that she was excited to hear him speak and was wondering what it would be about, followed by a picture. I hope she remembers this special moment and the spirit that came along with it. It is so fun to have such a personal experience with the people you only get to see on TV.

On a very non religious note here are a few pics from Halloween:

On Saturday we went and Trick-or-Treated in downtown Summit which was fun but crowded and then they had a parade you could walk in which after a bit Gracie fell asleep on T's shoulders.


Pumpkin carving - We ended up with a Dora pumpkin and a happy face. This year was the first time in our history that we've had some animal chewing on our pumkins. T-man cut a very large nose for a happy face pumpkin to hide the animal bites. After we carved them and set them on the porch, the next morning, something had nibbled around the eye brow. Two days later they completely chewed through one of our smaller ones, kind of crazy. Though we long suspected bunnies, our neighbor spotted squirrels chewing on their pumpkins.

So you can see Dora, somehow we didn't end up with a still shot of Mr. happy face.
Some pictures I took while enjoying our fall weather which has quickly turned chilly. We LOVE fall around here.
