This weekend was our Stake Conference and we were privileged to have Elder L. Tom Perry come and speak to us. Last night at the adult session we got to sit in the chapel of the Stake Center about 5 rows back and in the center. It was an honor to be in the presence of an Apostle and hear him speak.
We have such a big stake and we have 3 ward buildings in our boundaries. This morning for the conference we were in our own building and watched it broadcast from the Stake Center. It was a good meeting but I feel bad that the kids didn't get the chance to see Elder Perry in person and to feel everyone quiet down and stand when he walks into the room. That always leaves such an impression on me. He bore a powerful testimony and it was a great honor to have him at our Stake Conference.
For those of you that would like to know what he spoke about today, he gave the 4 cornerstones of his personal testimony. They are 1. Knowing that Jesus is the Christ 2. Testimony of Joseph Smith 3. Testimony of the Book of Mormon 4. Restoration of the Priesthood.

Judy is in your stake. She loved it. You are so lucky to have him come. A few years ago we had Elder Eyring. What a blessing. We sat in the chapel not far from him.
He is one I got to meet in person when I was younger. I remember being amazed at a how tall he is. It is a neat experience to have an apostle come to stake conference.
