Husband and Wife Conference

Randy and I returned home from the Northwest area husband and wife conference held in Spokane. It brings together the seminary and institute directors, coordinators, and principals from Washington, Alaska, and part of Idaho. It was such an inspiring conference. Great counsel was given to us by Seminaries and Institute Director Chad Webb. He stated the mission statement, a one page document, had close to 59 or so revisions to make sure it included everything the Church Board of Education felt it needed to accurately delineate the importance of their work. We had great break out sessions, and presentations. Brother Adams, who teaches institute, recently returned from a 1 year deployment to Iraq. His wife spoke about her "widow in training" year, the struggles and the prayers. Brother Adams spoke about his experience working with top Iraqi military officials and more interesting, his call to serve in the presidency.
