Garden, Stake Conference, and Dinner

I went to the garden first thing in the morning to finish planting the peppers and bush beans. Ken and the boys stopped over on their way home from the Father/Son Outing. They had a good time!

Ken had Stake Conference meetings in the afternoon and then I joined him for the adult session. It was a great meeting. I love the Saturday evening session. My favorite talk was Sister Macdonald's. She is the wife of the Mission President. She told a story about a friend she had that she felt really strongly about sharing the gospel with. After many promptings she went to her friend's home not knowing what she would say. Even as she went to the door, she didn't know. Then a very strong thought came to her, "CHOCOLATE CAKE!" She quickly wondered why she was thinking of chocolate cake. Her friend and her husband LOVED chocolate cake and knew the best recipes. She then told her friend that if she had the best recipe ever for chocolate cake that she would want that recipe. She then explained that she needed to share her "chocolate cake" recipe with her because she would always feel bad about not having shared something so wonderful with her. I really loved the analogy. Elder Walker talked about it too. It was a very spiritual enjoyable evening.

I hadn't had much to eat during the day and a group of friends were getting together to have dinner. I thought I had worked out going to dinner with Ken, but we had a bit of a miscommunication and he was not planning on going. Ken really does not enjoy big groups of people, so I suggested we go to eat at Bambu - just the two of us. He was okay with that. We were getting ready to order and the Halls (Brian and Jill) walked in. They went through the same thing. Brian hadn't wanted to go with the big group either. It was a bit comical. We had a good time - lots of laughs! Ken started talking about his claustrophobia, which led to sleep walking, and other funny things. It was a fun night!
