Saturday we did normal Saturday stuff...went to the gym, shopping, hair cut (for Dallin). We LOVE trying new restuarants, so we went to Trudy's. It's a Tex-mex place here in Austin and came highly recommended. It was amazing. One of our favori
te Tex-Mex places here is Chuy's, but I personally favor Trudy's now. Dallin got the stuffed Avocado. WOW, it's avocado stuffed with cheese and chicken and then fried. It's one of those guilty pleasure foods you can only have once in a while. SO GOOD!After dinner we went to see the new Pixar movie, Walle. It was also awesome. Pixar always does such a good job and Walle was no exception. It was cute, funny, and of course left you with "warm fuzzies".
The best part of the weekend was Sunday. Elder Bednar's son is in our ward and he blessed his baby this Sunday, so that means Grandpa (Elder Bednar) was there to participate in the blessing.
So, we got to hear from Elder Bednar for the entire Meeting! His wife spent a few minutes at he beginning. She talked about how much she loved Austin and couldn't think of a better place to raise a family. Elder Bednar started by saying he feels like he's home because he has been to our ward more this year than to his own ward in Salt Lake. He had so many great things to say and I was sad that sacrament meeting wasn't longer.
Since is was the 5th Sunday we met together for Priesthood and Relief Society and guess who was the speaker....That's right, we got to hear from Elder Bednar agian. This time he did a Q&A. He said he didn't want it to be "Stump the Apostle" and gave an example of a good question and a not so good question. Everything he said was so insightful and I wish I could have memorized every word he said. I felt so blessed to be in that meeting. How many times will you be in a room with 100 people and be able to ask an Apostle whatever you want? What an experience!
That evening the stake had a 2 hour fireside with Elder Bednar doing another Q&A. Dallin had volunteered to set up chairs so we got to the church 2 hours early! We had the best seats in the house! This again was a wonferful meeting and something I will never forget.
