We spent 3 wonderful days last Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday with one of our Church's 12 Apostles, Richard C. Scott. Elder Scott counseled and taught the 15 Mission Presidents from South America and their wives the whole time, and then we all attended a temple session with him. Our Area Presidency was there the whole time too, along with their wives, and Elder Walter Gonzalez, one of the 7 Presidents of the Seventy was there too, with his wife.
My favorite moments with Elder Scott were when he gave the Mission President's wives two separate "Apostolic Blessings".
His Blessings strengthened me a whole lot.
The photos are of us posing with Elder Scott outside the temple on a windy, blustery day, and of us with President and Sister Bowen.
My favorite photo of these three is the one where Elder Scott is walking across the temple grass with the Bowens to shake the hands of some members of the Church who were sticking their hands through the bars of the temple fence, and, after he shook their hands, he reached through the bars with both his arms and embraced them.
