Philmont

We have had a crazy busy summer.  One of our favorite experiences was our week at Philmont Scout Ranch.  Families were invited to attend during the week long Stake Presidency Training.  It was a wonderful week learning about the Duty to God Program for Young Men.  We were blessed to get to know and hear from Elder Shayne Bowen of the Seventy and his wife, and President David Beck the General Young Men President and his wife and several  men from the General Young Men's board. Also Sister Wixom and Sister Stevens from the General Primary and their husbands were there..... they each were just so inspiring.  It is still difficult to put into words how sacred and sweet this experience was for Bob and I.   It was just awesome.
