We met Elder Scott today! It was so awesome! We were at a gas station, not the normal one we use. Mom was getting gas and I was cleaning the windshield and Julianna was in the back seat with Thomas. We saw him walk out of the gas station and walk over to his car with his daughter and help her into the driver's seat. He started walking around to the other side of the car and I ran over and asked him if I could shake his hand. He said of course and asked me my name. I told him and then Julianna ran over and said that she served in Uruguay and that she loves him so much. He asked her which areas she served in and she told him and I said that I served in Spain like his daughter and he asked me which mission. He told us that there is nothing that would bless us more in life and in marriage and in our families than having served missions. He then told us that he would pray for us. It was just so wonderful and special. I am so grateful for the gospel of Jesus Christ in my life and to know that there are living prophets and apostles to witness of Christ and lead us and guide us. How blessed Julianna and I were to get to shake the hand of an apostle today!
On a much much much sadder note, Julianna and Jared and Thomas are moving tomorrow. It was a lot of work to clean their apartment and get everything packed and loaded. Mom and Dad and I are driving to San Antonio with them tomorrow. I am not looking forward to the long hot drive in the car for two days. It is devastating for me to have them move, seriously heartbreaking.
