It's funny how sometimes we get answers when we least expect them. <BR/>(Although sitting in the same room as an apostle, I might have expected some answers.

I'm justifying this because I don't think many people actually come back and read the comments.<BR/><BR/>It was Elder Perry. Guys, he's 86 years old! I had no idea. But he's going strong and was teasing the Mission President's 16 year old daughter when she reached for a chocolate that was on the table during our important pre-dinner discussion (he was being filled in on the situation with the Church in Poland.) She started opening the candy and he looked at her and said, "Hey! Not before dinner!" And continued to reprimand the Mission President for allowing such things in his home, etc. It was funny. He also happened to answer (inadvertently) one of my major concerns about living in Poland. Somehow when an apostle says something, even if it's something you already knew, and especially if it's something you've been struggling with/wondering about it brings some kind of fancy confirmation. I felt a little silly trying to hide my watery eyes during a non-spiritual part of the discussion (which is where the answer came)while we were sitting around a table and everyone could see everyone else perfectly. <BR/><BR/>Okay, so I dropped a little more than just a name, but I don't think many other commenters are coming on here so I feel kinda safe.LisAwayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03299284773832500834noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-47719640098100537452008-09-03T10:00:00.000+02:002008-09-03T10:00:00.000+02:00Oh, do please drop names :-) I want to know whose ...Oh, do please drop names :-) I want to know whose almost sacred ears your good sarcasm fell upon :)<BR/><BR/>Your kids are cute.Little GrumpyAngelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14065581455480762162noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-59095418673972103602008-09-03T06:35:00.000+02:002008-09-03T06:35:00.000+02:00I wish I knew some names to drop.Have a looksie at...I wish I knew some names to drop.<BR/><BR/>Have a looksie at my blog, I gave you another award.
