President Monson


I just thought I would share a neat story about President Monson. Over a year ago my Grandma Webb had past away. We were at her viewing just waiting for the family prayer when President Monson walked in the room. My grandma knew President Monson from when he was younger. President Monsons brother is also married to my dads sister. As he walked in the room you could feel this strong spirit it was awesome. He was directly across the room from us when he walked in the room. He came in the room and walked towards Mark, Ashlyn, and I and shook our hands. He then grabbed Ashlyn's cheek softly and said to her that she was the cutest little girl. It was a memorable moment for me becuase I knew one day he would be our prophet. I will never forget the sprirt you could feel as he was there. He also spoke at the graveside service. He spoke about how important families are. He also told us that we all had chairs up in Heaven waiting for us and that we need to reserve them now. I don't usually asorb many talks and remember them but this one I did and one day Ashlyn will be happy to know how cute President Monson thought she was.

I hope that Ashlyn will one day be equally pleased to find out that I too think she is a little cutie.

I think she is a cutie as well, I just wish it hadn't been 3 years since I've seen her last. Is she talking yet? Just kidding, lets try to get together soon!
