Tonight Papa T. and I go to the Salt Lake Tabernacle to have An Evening with President Uchtdorf. This event is for CES teachers and retired CES. I remember the first time we got to go. We lived in Idaho and my 6th baby was little but big enough to make a fuss. In fact she was allergic to all milk except mommy’s milk so we were pretty much best friends. I was so excited to see President Kimball I could hardly stand it. BUT, I knew Amy would not be as excited as me and I would wind up taking her out. So what to do? Pray you say, that was my thought exactly. So I prayed that when President Kimball started his talk that Amy would be very quiet. The music started, you know that song “We Thank Thee Oh God for a Prophet” and we all stood up and Amy was wide awake and enjoying the lights and sounds. But when we were done with the opening song and prayer and President Kimball stood up Amy closed her eyes and went sound to sleep. When his wonderful talk was over Amy’s little eyes popped open and she was ready to help us sing the closing song. So you see God does hear and answer our prayers.
Love,
Grammy T.
PS:
Tonight was wonderful. President Uchtdorf is always so inspiring but tonight after the meeting was over and we were all standing for him and his wife to leave he kept turning to us and waving like he didn't want to go. And then he put his fist over his heart and then pointed to us. It was so special. We love you too President Uchtdorf.

Oh that is just so sweet. I love Pres. Uchtdorf. He really is something, isn't he?! Anywho, THANK YOU SO MUCH for the award! I didn't know what "Versatile" meant, so I had to look it up... haha (still a leetle behind on some of my english here!) But I truly appreciate your thoughtfulness and generosity!
I've been praying a lot lately for/about my son, mainly in regard to potty training. He'll sit on the potty, but he won't go in the potty. He goes right next to it:). Prayer always works, but just not always how we want it to . . .
Polly here are a few websites that might be helpful. Sometimes we find answers in different ways than we expect. :)

love this, how wonderful! so does your husband or you work for CES? My husband is a CES co-ordinator here in Australia and we so love the firesides :) Naomi x
Thank you for commenting Naomi. My husband is retired CES. He taught CES for 35 years. And now that we live on the Wasatch Front we were able to get tickets. It had been a long time since we were able to see the Fireside in person. In fact we sat with a couple from Australia at the refreshments table afterwards.
Love,
Grammy T.
