In the Presence of a Prophet

We had a special  event this last weekend.  Elder Richard G Scott, an apostle in the quorum of the twelve apostles visited our stake for stake conference.  It was a rare opportunity to be taught by true apostle.  I have always been impressed by his genuine, sincere personality.  Many of his talks and teachings in general conference seem to be of a very personal perspective of the gospel.  He offered to be available to shake hands with everyone after the conference -- so both Spencer and Ben waited in line to shake hands with Elder Scott.  They both described the good feelings they at the chance to be in the presence of the apostle.

Ben does Hockey

Ben has been enjoying some hockey practice on Saturdays with some of his good friends.  Here are some pictures - he is the one in the white shirt.

Spencer and Ben go on a Hike

Ben and Spencer love the outdoors.  They like to hike.  They love to identify the plants and animals.  On memorial day we took a day hike on the Hieroglyphic canyon trail in the Superstition Wilderness area.  Ben's favorite part was the colorful lizard we saw on the trail.  Take a look at the video we made. Ben specifically chose the music for the video, it is the theme to his favorite video game, "Smash Bros. Brawl" To make the video larger, click on the little button on he bottom right just to the left of the volume control.
