An eventful day: Mom, Britni and girls, and Briggs and I went to Lindsey's Bridal Shower in Tucson. It was fun to get to know her family better. We are very excited to have her in our family. (She's marrying Preston). It was just a short visit and by the end, the babies were so sick of their carseats. We had to stop in Willcox to let them out for a bit. My friend, Sonya Anderson also had her bridal shower that day. I was pretty bummed I couldn't make it as I was traveling.

President Thomas S Monson flew in sometime this day! How awesome is that?! A prophet of the Lord was in the Gila Valley. He saw the things I see. He drove on the same road I drive on everyday. Sadly, I didn't get to see him in person. But thanks to technology, I did see him via tv. Guy and I watched the TCC at the Thatcher Stake Center. Some people have some pretty neat stories. My brother Trenton got to shake his hand. I'm not sure on the names, but my mother-in-law told me this one... a family made signs to welcome Pres Monson. They were outside waving as he drove by. They saw his car slam on the brakes (almost making the following security car run into it). Pres Monson got out and shook the family's hands. He said he loves children and wanted to stop to say hi and thanks for the signs. I am so thankful for such a loving prophet!
