On Friday our family was lucky enough to get to attend the 95th birthday celebration of our beloved prophet President Russell M. Nelson.
What an amazing man with so many talents to share with the world as he conducts his Father's business here on earth.
They did a beautiful job celebrating him and his life, and honoring him through music and thoughts from friends, colleagues, and family members...
We heard from Jenny Oaks Baker and her children, Gentri, Donny Osmond, Nathan Pacheco, The Bonner Family, and even President Nelson himself! He played the piano for us, we sang him "Happy Birthday", and we watched stories of how he has touched so many lives all over the world with his loving kindness.
I laughed and cried and gained even more love for that sweet man and the role that he plays in leading Jesus Christ's church here on the earth. I look forward to hearing wise and loving council once again as we prepare for General Conference in just a few weeks...
At the end of the night, President Nelson took his wife Wendy and walked up onto the stage where he could look out into the crowd and smile and wave lovingly at all those who were there at his "party"...
My heart was full of love, joy, and gratitude for that sweet man, our loving leader, and prophet of God.
