Ok, so you can all be jealous (except mom and dad because they were there, too). Tonight we were able to learn more about our new and beloved Prophet, President Monson. His nephew, Craig Dearden, lives in our Stake, he is the Bishop of the Morro Bay ward. A fireside was put together where he talked about his memories of his "Uncle Thom" and what kind of man he is. It was fun to see President Monson as a real person. Loving, giving, thoughtful, kind, Christ-like. Bishop Dearen said that "Uncle Thom" always says he will do what is asked of him, whether it be to give a blessing, seal someone to their spouse, visit somewhere, etc, he's more than willing. I'm sure that now he's the Prophet he'll be quite busy and may have to limit some of his "yes' ". What a great date to go on with my hubby!

Craig Dearden is Pres. Monson's nephew?? I never knew that! We had one of Pres. Monson's grandsons and his family in one of our Provo wards - he looked JUST like Pres. Monson, and sounded like him when he talked - kind of eery!
