WEEK-END
WITH THE PRESIDENTS – On February 24 – 25 Sister Burton, General Relief Society
President and Sister Wixom, General Primary President, along with Elder Watson
of the Area Presidency and their spouses were on the island.
The Church donated a mammogram machine to the
hospital and they were here to present it on behalf of the Church. On Sunday evening they spoke at a
fireside. When they walked in, I
realized that Sister Burton’s husband was one of the stake presidents I worked
with as facilities manager. After the
meeting we had a chance to chat, and it was so great to see him again. We were also invited to the presentation
ceremony at the hospital on Monday.
They
flew out on Monday night, and we were at the airport to send off two
missionaries going to the MTC. There is
about a two-hour wait from the time of check-in until the flight leaves and we
were invited to go into the Governors Lounge to wait with them. Elder Jessop, an area seventy was there,
along with his wife.
He played his
guitar and he and Sister Hunt, the wife of the Public Relations Representative
for American Samoa sang several Samoan songs while we waited. What a neat experience to be in a room with
two members of the Seventy, two general presidents, along with the Church Public
Relations person for American Samoa, and their spouses and just chat….
Needless to say, we left the airport walking
on clouds and feeling really lucky to have been with them on such a personal
level.
