Neat Experience

So I know we're a little bit crazy for joining the tens of thousands of other Utahns who went to President Hinckley's viewing but I'm so glad we went. It was such a neat experience and it was definitely worth it! It was really neat that they had it at the conference center. Even though it's such a huge place it still was very reverent and solemn. They had his casket up on the third floor(?) in the "Hall of the Prophets". It was really cool because you had to walk through pretty much the entire conference center before you got to the casket. It was neat to walk by all the Book of Mormon paintings and the paintings of the apostles and just soak up the spirit and reflect on the occasion. Right before you got to the casket we passed the wall size mural of Christ visiting the Americas. Seeing the Savior in that picture it suddenly hit me how incredible the reunion must have been between Him and President Hinckley. It was really neat to think about. It was also neat to see President Hinckley again. He looked so peaceful. It truly was quite an experience. As we were leaving we noticed Doug's uncle Bruce was right in front of us. It was good to see him and his son Taylor again and it was cool that out of everyone that we could have seen there we saw family.

As we were driving home Sophia said, "I want to see Jesus". I think since we've been telling her that President Hinckley is now with Jesus and we saw President Hinckley she wanted to see Jesus too. Doug told her that if she's a good girl and goes to nursery and listens to mom and dad she can see Jesus. Her response to that was, "no hitting Jesus". What do you say to that? I love how she is slowly trying to figure out how this life works. She definitely keeps us on our toes!
