I went to a fireside up at the University of Utah Institute tonight. Elder Jeffery R. Holland spoke to us. He started out by telling us about President Hinckley. It was really neat to hear him speak about our prophet in the same revering way that we "normal people" do. He was talking about how President Hinckley is amazing because he still gets up and goes to work every day. He is the first one there in the morning and the last one to go home every night and he is 97 years old. And the most amazing part is that he does it for me and for you. Elder Holland said that he is just like we all think he is and I loved hearing him talk about him.
He also spoke to us about standing firm in the Gospel. He was so animated as he spoke; the Spirit was so strong. I am so glad that I was there. It is nice to get a push in the right direction every now and then to remind us of how well we are doing and/or where we need to improve.

Elder Holland is definately one of my favorites. I remember hearing him speak when he was the president at BYU. I love his talk about motherhood & his one about women & being enough(weight pressure, etc.) I hope that makes sense.
He just gets it- and communicates back so well!
I wish I could've been there. I even dreamt about that fireside. Weird huh?
