Quick Update

Hannah did get to see the Prophet and she LOVED it. He talked of the Prophets in his lifetime. He told stories about them, their favorite foods, and quotes, and the example they set. Hannah got a kick out of stories about President Kimball. She hated to go to class after being in the room and listening to the Prophet. That darn French class.

Hey Mom,The Prophet is Coming!

At this time last year, Hannah was trying to decide where to apply to go to college. She did NOT want to go to BYU. "That is where parents send their kids to get married and it is cold and too far away." We quickly informed her that we were definitely not sending her there to get married. After praying about where she should go, she promptly got the feeling that she needed to apply to BYU and that it was where she would be going. She wasn't very excited about this, but she applied and tried to think of positives about BYU. We talked a lot about the environment at BYU and also saw that there are weekly Devotionals. This would be great, we told her. You will probably get to hear some of the Apostles speak and maybe even the Prophet.

Fast forward to Sunday.

I get a call from a very excited Hannah telling me that it was announced in church that day, that the Prophet would be speaking at the Devotional on Tuesday. This is only the second Devotional and she wasn't expecting to get to hear form the Prophet so soon. She was hoping to get there early enough this morning to get to be in the same room with the Prophet while he is speaking to them.

So Hannah, I'm hoping you were able to see the Prophet this morning!

Off to BYU

Hannah packed up her stuff last week to head out to BYU.

She is trying to decide what to pack.

Notice the girls packing Hannah's things together and Zachary eating a cookie.

Loading the car

The last time the kids are together until Thanksgiving. We are dropping the kids off and Mom's and Dad's before we leave.

Dropping her off for a tearful goodbye. Yes more tears.
