Last Sunday was Stake Conference and we had a wonderful experience. I know everyone who is reading this is wondering, "How can it be wonderful to sit with the Gilbert boys for 2 hours"! So I guess the biggest miracle in 2008 is we all survived Stake Conference! We are blessed to live in President Monson's home Stake. He usually attends Church and stake conference in our building. He is so friendly and kind that my boys truly have a testimony of the prophet.
After Stake Conference he greeted and talked to the children in the stake for about an hour. And if any of you know my boys they were right in the center of all the attention. I think President Monson got a little tired so he sat down at the piano and started playing. Jarom was on the end of the piano and started playing along with him. (I know you are wondering why I didn't grab him, I really wanted to but I was on the other end of the crowd just hoping to get everyone home in one piece) To my surprise President Monson loved Jarom's piano skill and just egged him on. Next Jaxon and his friend Alex (for those of you who read about the curly straw this one might be worse!) They found a spy telescope and started spying on the Prophet. Which of course he loved and took a look through the scope after Jaxon told him he looked better GREEN! Next was Josh's turn to give the shake his hand, but we don't stop there! They all made sure to give him high fives and bones. I just thanked him and shook his hand. Maybe next time I'll start a secret hand shake with him.
That night we had all the boys write in their Journals about their experience. We wanted them to know that this was a special experience and it would probably never happen again. So Steve and I shared our brief hand shakes with past Prophet. Then Josh asked "So are all Prophets that funny", our only reply was "No, not so much!"
