Ryan's Mission President and General Conference

Listening to General Conference today was so much fun. We were able to listen to ALL of the sessions. We are so lucky because at Temple View Apartments the cable has the BYU channel and Conference was broadcast on TV during the live viewing. We got up at 5:50 a.m. and started our wonderful weekend yesterday by watching conference. Lacey and Cory joined us. It was amazing to hear the messages of our leaders in the Church.


Ryan with his Mission President, President Teixiera and his wife, Sister Teixiera, in 2005-2006. It was so exciting to hear him speak today in conference.


Today Ryan kept saying that he wanted them to announce that his Mission President, President Teixiera would be speaking. We didn't know if he would get to hear his dear President, but he kept hoping. Finally when we were watching the last session today, Ryan said, "I just want them to say that Jose A. Teixiera is speaking next!!" Then he turned to Lacey to tell her something funny and President Eyring announced that the next speaker would be Jose A. Teixiera. Ryan didn't hear it, but when we all froze and stared at him, he figured it out. He didn't believe it at first, but then we convinced him and he was so excited. We were all happy for him. Ryan has so much respect for President Teixiera and was delighted to hear his message. He shared a message about keeping our spiritual GPS in service and always being in a place, and in a standard of righteousness, that our spiritual GPS system can receive the Holy Ghost as our guide. It was fabulous.
Ryan, we are so happy for you!

    That is so neat that you got to meet up with Ryan's mission president. Isn't that a fun experience to meet the men who presided over our husbands while they were in full time service of our Heavenly Father? It makes me get so teary especially because of my Dad's new call. It is an amazing thing. My testimony of the Gospel grows stronger and stronger every day because of it. Wow. We are blessed aren't we?
