The weekend of Sept 15 we had Nathan's parents here to visit. We had so much fun with them. The first thing we did was get the corn from their car so that we could freeze it. It was a quick process with everyone helping out. They also came with some tomatoes(that I canned later), walnuts and four pumpkins. I was feeling pretty blessed. The next day we picked some of our neighbor's Dahlia's. They have the best flowers and quite the variety too.
Then early afternoon we headed to catch the ferry so that we could see and listen to our prophet Russell M. Nelson speak at Safeco field. What a neat experience it was to have him here. He shared with us 5 life lessons life has taught him.
1. Hold to the raft
2. The Book of Mormon is the word of God
3. The honors of men fade
4. The Lord uses the unlikely
5. Care for others
I was also impressed with Sister Nelson's talk and how she shared how she knows that her husband is a prophet. She also shared what it is like at home having him be the prophet.
We also had President Eyring too but how the sounds system was it was tough for some of us to hear him. You had to really concentrate on what he was saying
The crew that went. We couldn't get us all in the selfie.
There they are walking to the stand.
They are sitting down.
There was a crowd of 49,900 in attendance. This is the largest nonsporting event crowd. The only other crowd that had more was a wrestle mania in 2008.
We sure love these folks. The kids are neat too. It was fun to have them here.
One of the last of our corn cobs from our garden. We did get bigger ones than this.
