Happy Birthday President Monson!
It was President Monson's Birthday Aug. 21. We were in Salt Lake for a family Reunion so we got to go with Braden's parents to wish President Monson a Happy Birthday. When we first went into his office it was just me Braden and his parents. We left the kids outside with Aubree because they were kinda wild. We were in there talking to President Monson and his secretary and Lisa said we better go because all the kids are outside and President Monson said, " Well bring the kids in, I would like to see them." Braden ran outside and helped Aubree bring all the kids in. It was really fun to see President Monson with the kids, he really loves kids. He took them into his office to show them all the fun things he had in there. He had this wooden fish that he was showing Hope and Addy. He said whatever you do don't drop them. Luckily he turned around in his chair right as Hope threw the fish up into the air and let it fall to the floor!! Braden, Aubree, and I started laughing under our breath and grabbed the fish so she couldn't do it again. The fish was just fine and President Monson didn't know any different. It was really fun to be able to wish President Monson a Happy Birthday in person!

k that is the coolest thing! i'm still laughing about the fish cus I imagine he knew those fish would be dropped. And I kind of imagine him to be "all knowing" lol just kidding! What a cool experience! Love the update!
ReplyDeleteThat's pretty awesome!
ReplyDeleteHe is amazing
ReplyDeleteThis gave me the biggest smile this morning thank you so much for sharing. I know I would love to meet him someday as well but that will never happen as I can't travel that far. But I know your family is quit blessed by this. I love listening to him could listen all day to him, his soft gentle voice and the love he shows We are all lucky to have him as out Prophet. Many more Blessings to your Family. Cute story indeed :-)
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful experience , we all love the Prophet, and wish him the best, and Pray for the Lords strength to uphold him.
ReplyDeletethis is cute,i bet he knew about the fish,in fact i bet his own grand children probably have done the same thing and i bet he wasn't too worried about it because he probably has and would have done the same thing he enjoyed the kids and showing them the things he had and enjoyed their reaction and interaction with him and he probably had more fun with them than worrying about his stuff and he's had kids around his stuff for a long time.
ReplyDeleteI just love that man. He is such a blessing
