It Was Perfect

We had five parking places reserved for our family. Twenty-nine names were approved to go into the Church Office Building. Everyone was dressed in their Sunday best. We were all very excited. We drove into the underground parking, left our cars and walked on all of the yellow walk ways to find our way to the entrance to the Church Office Building. We found it! Up the stairs and we were ready to check in at the front desk. It is a good thing we were early because it took a few minutes to get all of the name tags printed. We took a few pictures (after all, we don't do this every day) and made a few memories and then we were off to the elevators to go up to the Office of the General Counsel. What a happy wife, mother, mother-in-law, grandmother, daughter and daughter-in-law I was. This day was a very special day. We were all invited into the conference room in the General Counsel Office. Elder Wickman came in. He very politely went around the room and met everyone. He talked for a minute and then he invited all of the Melchizedek Priesthood holders to stand in the circle. Jim was set apart first and then it was my turn. Jim, my dad, Marcus, Brian, Matt, Brett and Elder Wickman were all around me. It was perfect. Everything I needed to hear was said. Every blessing I needed was given to me. It was wonderful and peaceful and perfect!
