Today I had the privilege of attending an auxiliary training meeting in the newly refurbished tabernacle in Salt Lake City. It was an amazing experience and a spiritual feast listening to Elder Bruce Hafen and Sisters Julie Beck, Silvia Allred, and Barbara Thompson. AMAZING! Elder Hafen was slightly late rushing from a special meeting in the temple with the First Presidency and the general authorities. Elder Hafen told us that poor Elder Eyring has had a broken foot (a very bad break) since two days after his new calling and has been at home recovering for some of that time. He reminded us that we all have the same goal in our service....doing the work of the Lord and bringing people to Christ.
I have to admit that I absolutely LOVE Sister Julie Beck! (I wasn't sure exactly what to expect at our meeting) She is wonderfully friendly, funny, kind, very smart, a master teacher, understands the gospel so well, and is definitely the woman to be the general Relief Society President. (She is much more attractive in person and I loved the way she had her hair today) It is hard to put into words the powerful spirit that was present in that large beautiful building. Sisters traveled from Canada, Mexico, Argentina, England, Africa, and many places in the United States. It was a wonderful day in every way. I can't wait for the weekend to enjoy general conference. We are so blessed!

What a great experience! I had no idea about Elder Eyring's leg, how sad! I also love conference and all of the wonderful things I learn from all the speakers. I am especially exited to hear from our sweet prophet this weekend! It is going to be great!
