Del said his interview went well yesterday and was truly a very spiritual experience for him. He was not called back, for which we were not surprised and very grateful.
Last nights evening session was attended by stake members 12 yrs and older, as requested by the first presidency. This was a new directive, as usually, it is an adult only session. But the purpose was explained and understood by all in attendance and it was good to hear the message presented by the visiting General Authorities. Del and I were thrilled to run into literally tens and tens of our past stake and ward friends from Frisco, renewing cherished relationships and memories. Afterwards, we went to dinner with Alana Wright and her son, Andrew.
Today, our stake conference was held at University of North Texas in order to accommodate the thousands who were in attendance. It was announced, the new Frisco Texas Shawnie Trail Stake, with President Richard Platt as our stake Pres., Bishop Doug Freeman (Kylie's past Bishop) as first counselor and Pres. Argyle (his first name slips my mind) as second counselor. All good men and all loved. It will be a really good stake - There are seven units - 3 Prosper Wards, Aubrey, Crossroads, Little Elm and Frisco 2nd Ward.
This is the 4th stake we will have lived in since moving to Texas 11 years ago and the the second time we have been involved in the creation of a new stake. It's exciting to see the growth of the church here in Texas. We are truly blessed.
Tomorrow is my daddy's birthday. He would have been 88 yrs. old.
Happy Birthday daddy.
