We came back to Austin a little early so we could attend Elder Bednars fireside. At first, we just thought, we are out of town so we wont attend but then Tom got a call and was asked to give the opening prayer so we adjusted our plans a little. Jordan decided that she wanted to come so there went my sitter. I brought Logan along and Jackson stayed home with Larson. We had reserved front row seats so that was nice that we did not have to get there so early. The building was at maximum capacity.What a great opportunity to hear the words of Sis. Bednar and Elder Bednar. He just took questions right out of the audience for a question/answer session. He asked that no one write down any of the words that he was saying but to write words down that were impressions that we were personally getting from the spirit as he spoke. He also joked many times about ,Please do not blog this, it will be read out of context and it will just sound weird! Nothing this man said, sounded weird, he has such a candid way with his words that are very simplistic and also very funny.
Talking about funny- we would never take a real picture of this, so you have to envision this one. Up on the stand sits Tom Roberts, Sis. bednar, and Elder Bednar- an apostle of the Lord. Tom says he would have liked a picture of that one to send back to our old ward in Cincinnati.

That would have been a wonderful picture. It was a nice fireside and I'm sad that Michael moved out of our stake, because our frequent visits with Elder Bednar were always wonderful.
