Mr & Mrs Hand

This last Sunday was the Nauvoo Stake Conference.  For those that do not know what that is, twice a year the 11  congregations (branches or wards) in our geographical region (stakes) meet for a conference, Nuavoo happens to be the “center” of our stake.  Most people that do not live directly in Nauvoo travel for about an hour to get there, some however drive twice that still.  We had a guest speaker this time.  Elder Lund, is a very enjoyable speaker.  He talked mostly about getting back to basics, and how we tend to over-“schedule” our lives.  How we try to do too much stuff, be it projects or clubs or what not.  How true it is that when we get right down to the simplicity of life things seem easier to be enjoyed and there is a lot less to distract us from our end goal.  I enjoyed his talks.  I was however sitting next to my newest nephew on Sunday morning, Skyler.  And our personalities being what they are, we interacted a lot, and Ginny and Rick have decided that we are not allowed to sit together anymore. For fun, I drew faces on my hands.  It made him laugh, but the whole time he told me, “Don’t do that” and to “Stop it.  That is bad for your skin.”  The little boy sitting in front of us saw me and drew on his hand and got in trouble with his mom.  Ooopps.

Mr and Mrs hand are begging you to let us sit together again, next time.
