President Uchtdorf's Visit

In November, President Uchtdorf came to Fiji.
It was a wonderful couple of days. The high
light for the mission was his speaking to all the
missionaries. We had a mission picture taken
with him and several of the area authorities, he
greeted each missionary individually and gave
us some wonderful training and counsel. This is
a picture of him with his daughter. We always
have a bowl of candy on the counter in the office.
We have had to post a sign by it reminding people
to take just one....instead of a handful. He
picked up the bowl and started to leave and then
asked us if the sign meant one piece of candy or
perhaps one bowl?

After President Uchtdorf spoke to the mission,
President and Sister Ostler hosted a dinner
for President and Sister Uchtdorf and the stake
presidents and their wives and other church
leaders here in Fiji. Sister Stanford (2nd from
right) was the chef. She prepared a wonderful
meal of pork tenderloin, garlic mashed potatoes,
vegetables, salad, rolls and an incredible custard
and berry dessert. Sister Seare and I were lucky
enough to help out. President and Sister Uchtdorf
came into the kitchen to thank us.





I was lucky enough to get my picture taken with
President Uchtdorf. It was an experience I will
never forget!
