What a great way to spend a Sunday night! Ben got baptized tonight - his fiance has been a member of our ward, but he was baptized in the ward boundaries where he lives. (They are getting married this weekend but will be living in his ward now.)
Dad gave the Holy Ghost talk - a great one by the way - sharing his experience with then Apostle Kimball while he (your dad) was on his mission.
It's a great story - he wrote it to me while he was on his mission, but I never tire of hearing it. Most of you have probably heard it - it's about keeping a memory of how you felt when you had the Spirit with you.
He also relates how Pres. Kimball told the story of Heber C. Kimball prophesying that soon the saints would be able to buy commodities cheaper than they were in New York - and how Brigham Young said, when Heber sat down, "Well, you missed that one Heber!" But of course we know that with the Gold Rush, prospectors came into SLC will to give all the commodities they had for fresh teams to get them to the West coast.
I love living with the Ward Mission Leader - we have the best experiences around here - seems like on a pretty regular basis too!
