Austin and the Stake Presidency have reached their one-year mark. For Stake Conference, we had Elder Matthew Carpenter come as a visiting authority. He was an Area Authority Seventy and just got called as a General Authority Seventy at April Conference. Austin had meetings with him all day Saturday,and I got to go to Leadership Training and the Adult Session on Saturday night. Our kids got to come to eat dinner with him in between meetings. Lucy came straight from a basketball tournament and Hanna came from a rodeo. He had studied our names and knew our names without getting introduced, once he knew we were Nunns as part of Austin's family. We really enjoyed visiting with him and listening to him speak.
The meetings on Saturday were all about the new ministering program. Austin's only speaking assignment of the weekend was in the leadership session. He gave a great talk on ministering - although Elder Carpenter gave feedback after each session and told Austin that his assignment was for 10 minutes and he spoke for 14 minutes.
Along with Stake Conference this weekend, Cardston hosted the high school rodeo this weekend. I am the secretary for the rodeos and Austin helps with the stock, so we were there Friday night. I was there all day Saturday until about 10 minutes before the leadership session started. I changed into a dress in the church bathroom during the opening song.
Hanna had not competed in her events yet when I left and I thought about staying to watch and then going late to the meeting,but I decided to go and she would be blessed. Carly was texting us during the meeting to give us updates. Hanna won both of her events. I just sat there with tears as she sent us the results.
It was also important that Hanna did well at the Cardston rodeo because it is the only one of the spring that she goes to both days of the rodeos. Most weekends the rodeos are on Saturday and Sunday, so we only go to the Saturday rodeos so she only has a chance to get points at half the rodeos.
I was so thankful that she was blessed. Hanna was too, but of course she told us it was raw talent. She has had a good year, but this is the only rodeo she placed first in both events on the same day!
