President & Sister Eyring Visited our Youth Today!!!
What an amazing experience. Jessica did not want to leave the room where he was and said she couldn't leave and didn't know why. Well... of course, we know it was the amazing spirit that this Apostle of the Lord carries with him!
We tried to get everyone in the picture with President & Sister Eyring...

This is one of life's moments... as Jessica puts it, "That I will never ever forget!" President Eyring allowed our youth to "Ask an Apostle of the Lord anything you would like." Oh my goodness what a treat. I took notes but he asked us not to blog some of it so I will just share what touched me the most:
President Eyring was asked, "What advice would you give the youth:"

President Eyring told our youth “BE MORE CAREFUL!” He explained that when he was young he thought he was bullet proof and explained to our youth that they can not afford to think like that explaining that this is a very wicked world and they need to be very careful, not afraid, but careful. President Eyring told our youth to Pray that they will not be lead into temptation. He cautioned the youth about where they go and who they hang around and recounted a story he asked us not to blog... sighting how he know we were all bloggers and texters! LOL
I am grateful for: The gift to be in the presence of an Apostle of the Lord and to watch our youth as they asked questions. I am also humbled by the opportunity to watch my daughter be completely intent on every word President Eyring said and the blessing of having her come home with such excitement and a memory that will enrich her and go with her throughout her life!
