Today I got up as usual and went to an early morning meeting and then stayed to set up the Relief Society room. I was in the foyer talking to one of the Sisters and Sharise comes out and says she is going to call Craig. I thought it was a little odd but continued to talk. I went in just minutes before Sacrament started. Walked up to tell the Bishop something, then went to sit down and Sharise said that Craig was coming to see Pres. Uchtdorf. I said what? Looked up front, I was so oblivious to my surroundings that when I was talking to the Bishop I didn't even notice Pres. Uchtdorf sitting one seat away from the Bishop. We had a great Sacrament meeting and he took a few minutes at the end and talked to the youth and bore his testimony. So I had every opportunity to shake his hand when I was up front but no I was in my own little world so I had to wait and I just about didn't get a chance to shake his hand. I followed behind him hoping he would turn around but his is quite a tall man and I guess I wasn't in his range so I had to dart through the overflow area and get out into the foyer before he did so I could shake his hand before he left. I decided right then and there I really need to pay more attention to what is going on around me.

My parents mentioned that he was in your ward! Sooo cool. The perks of living in Leeds, eh?
Pretty cool. He has sure given some amazing talks lately hasn't he at conference and at the General R.S. meeting.
I have them at my work. We just started carring them. All of the other bows we carry are way huge. So i was so happy to get the cute little ones.
