Last week I took a break from being Sister Challis at the
Library to be Grandma CC in Alpine, caring for Hank (8), Mary (5), and June
(2). Their dad, Christopher, had the
opportunity to travel to London to make a presentation for Adobe. Melissa decided to go along; they tacked on a
few days in Switzerland after London. My days with the kids were full of
different challenges from those in the Library:
getting kids in the car and dropped off at school; breaking up spats
(not too many of those at the Library); trying
to determine what color sippy cup June really wanted; getting all to bed! It was a bit like “herding cats,” but I made
the exact same observation on a hectic Monday afternoon at the Library during a futile attempt
to organize all the prayer meetings for the week.
Conference
was wonderful. We got to attend the
Sunday morning session. I wish everyone
could have the Conference Center experience at least once—just for the music! It was nice to watch the Women’s Session with
two of my girls, Lindsey and Jaynie, snuggled up on the couch at Jaynie’s. I am excited
and grateful for the changes that were announced. A constant prayer in my heart is for the “rising
generation.”
