This weekend the Arcadia Stake enjoyed a spiritual feast. It was our stake conference and our conference visitors were Elder Jeffrey R. Holland and Elder Donald Tenney of the Seventy. They were there to conduct some stake business - the reorganization of the Arcadia Stake Presidency. We love so much President Corrigan, President Parson and President Crawford, but after 9 1/2 long years of service they really deserve a break. The new Stake Presidency was sustained Sunday morning - President Scott A. Magnusson, President Kent N. Cornwall first counselor and President Walter J. Steimle second counselor. Dad (and I) had some very special experiences this weekend. I am hoping that after this post dad will share some of his feelings and experiences. One great bonus of the weekend (besides sitting at the feet of Apostle Holland - something I have wanted to do since his BYU days) was to have our family rally around us. I made some calls Saturday afternoon and our kids jumped into action. Jason got a substitute for his new calling - Gospel Doctrine Teacher. Katie and Dallin jumped into the car and drove all night - Robb and Marybeth flew down Sunday morning. We had a lovely weekend enveloped and surrounded by things that are so significant to dad and me - our family and the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I may say more soon. But let me first say - WOW! what a good lookin' family. Thank you all for making a special weekend infinitely more special for wanting to be part of it.

That looks as if we had a professional come into town and take that for us, who would have thought that a little digital camera, a tripod, and a fast Dad would produce something like this. It looks great
