Elder Holland

Today we had a special conference in the Stake (not a Stake Conference) with Elder Holland. The church arranged for us to all meet together in the Hammerstein theater by Penn Station.

It was so great to be in the same room as an Apostle (I know that is nothing new for Utah). He was very funny at the beginning, he talked about dreams coming true. And how he is now on a Broadway stage. He talk about Christine and a chandelier, I do not know what he was talking about, but we laughed anyway.

He also concluded giving everyone in the room an apostolic blessing. He started by stating his authority as an apostle, very cool.

It was an awesome conference. We also had all the primary kids in the youth sing two musicals numbers. Which caused Elder Holland to quote Ed Sullivan.

It is so wonderful to have had this experience.

It was wonderful to read about. And Christine and a chandelier are from The Phantom of the Opera. I love Elder Holland and so believe in those Apostolic blessings. I love you both very much!

I am amazed that we are the only people to not know Phantom. I guess they should have done it at the road shows.
