I know most of you were there or have probably already heard about the nice time we had at the setting apart of Scott and Laurie. However, I wanted to share my feelings. It was so special.
Elder Perry's office was on the second floor of the administration building. It had nice windows. His secretaries office was just out side of his. He greeted all of us as we entered. To start he ask me how I was doing. I said I was very proud of them, but would really miss them. He went around the room and talked to each couple. He found out where all of the boys had served their missions. When Justin said Albania he lightened up and said what a great country that was. Justin said he had been there at the time Elder Perry was the Area Authority there. When he got to Lars, Lars said that he had been in Columbus. Ohio. This is where Elder Perry had been when he was younger. Lars said he knew he had opened a Branch in a certain town. Elder Perry ask him how he knew that and Lars said "Elder Perry, you are a legend." After Ila introduced herself I mentioned that she was Elder Stucki's sister. He was glad to hear that. After he ask all of the men about their missions he ask Josh where he wanted to go when he got older. Josh said,"I'll go where ever they want me to go." Later he told him that he had been born in Romania. Elder Perry said how did that happen? Then Laurie explained and said now Josh was on his second mission. It was truly an experience to remember.
As we walked down the hall to the elevator an office door was open and it was Sheldon Child's office. We waited just a second and when he finished he came out in the hall and talked to us a minute. So that too was nice.
We then headed for Applebee's for a nice dinner Scott treated us to. Then we went to their house and played a game that Josh and Laurel like. We got home about 8:30. It was a full day but a very special one.
