Executive Committee Meeting

For the past several weeks, I have been planning and worrying about our Executive Committee meeting. They flew in on the Huntsman jet on Sunday, went to four different locations for firesides; we met all day in meetings. I was at the office by 6 a.m. to make a few changes to my presentation and check that everything was ok.

The meeting went well and seems like a real blessing to have two apostles (Elder Nelson and Elder Ballard) and other general authorities (Elder Tingey who is president of the presidency of the seventy) and Sister Beck (general RS president). We also had the other CES presidents (President Samuelson, President Clark, and President Woodhouse); Elder Kerr, our commissioner; Gary Moore, Seminary and Institute Director; and other commissioner staff (Roger Christensen and Jim Tidwell). They spoke at 4 this afternoon to the full BYUH ohana and encouraged us to support change.

I got home around 6 so it was one of those 12-hour days. They return to SLC tomorrow.
