Early Christmas Present

We normally sit towards the back of the chapel.  With four young children, we don't want to disturb anyone.  Today, I got a phone call from Mario who was already at church.  He asked if I would mind sitting in the 2nd row today because President Henry B. Eyring would be in Sacrament meeting today.  He was in town visiting his cousin who is a member of our ward. Wow, a prophet attending the Monterey Ward.  I was so excited.  I quickly explained to our young twins the importance of being extra reverent today during church.

President Eyring was our concluding speaker.  He bore strong testimony of our Savior, Jesus Christ.  The Spirit was very strong.  Then when the meeting was over, I was disappointed to have to go to Primary.  I figured that President Eyring would either leave or stay behind and talk to the adults.  But a few minutes later, President Eyring came to our Primary and again bore strong testimony of our Savior.   I have never seen a more reverent Primary.  Those children obviously knew the importance of this man's calling.   

What a great early Christmas gift, a visit from a prophet.
