Meeting James and General Conference

Hanna and James had been dating for a couple months, so we finally had the chance to meet him. He was coming to Utah on General Conference weekend, so we decided to come too. First we went to Logan and were at a Mexican restaurant when he got there and we had set up the chairs so Austin was sitting between James and Hanna. He just kind of laughed and rolled with it.

We rented an AirBnB house that night so we all stayed together.

On Saturday we went to Smith and Edwards and then we were headed to Provo to take Lucy on a tour of BYU campus. Hanna had planned it so Lucy and Carly rode with James to Provo so they could ask him all of their questions. Jill and Larsen came up to spend the weekend with us also, and on their way to Provo they stopped in West Jordan so Larsen could buy some quail eggs from someone. On their way back to the freeway, they were rear-ended and their car was totaled. So they called us and Austin and I turned around to go and help them. Hanna, James, Lucy and Carly kept going to Provo and gave Lucy the tour of campus. We helped the Perkins empty their car, and we called Matt Bennett to come and pick up Larsen and Jill and the rest of their stuff.

We stayed at Matt and Jeanette's house that night - they are great hostesses.

On Sunday morning, we all went the morning session of General Conference. It is a benefit of Austin's stake presidency calling that we can get tickets to conference. It was a great session. Jeanette kept Will so we could go.  

We left from Salt Lake and drove back to Canada.

James and Hanna took Jill and Larsen back to Jeanette's house, and Larsen's dad came to pick them up to take them back home. It is actually a miracle and blessing that no one was hurt in the accident. Will was in the backseat and if the car would have crunched in further, he could have been hurt or killed.

We had a fun time meeting James and we all said yes we approve.
