Follow The Prophet – The Words & Deeds of God's Living Prophet, President Thomas S. Monson

Place: West Jordan Sunset Ridge Stake Center, UT
Purpose: The viewing of Br. William David Miller

A couple weeks ago (Jan 14, 2010) President Monson attended the viewing of one of the missionaries who served under him when he was mission president in the Canadian Mission from 1959-1962.  The brother was William David Miller from West Jordan, Utah.

A member from the stake, Julie Weiss, tells of a special experience that happened that evening: Continue reading

President Monson has his own ward that he usually attends on Sundays, but occasionally he makes special visits to other wards in Utah, or wards throughout the world when he’s traveling.  Yesterday, President Monson visited a ward along the Wasatch Front in Utah and spoke in their sacrament meeting.  Some members got to shake his hand.

President Monson made mention of one particularly interesting detail:

“…a new temple south of Salt Lake, location still secret, but land is ready…”

I wonder where the new temple would go?  Any ideas?  Tell us your thoughts in the comments below.

Purpose: Meeting with the prophet

What if you got to meet President Monson, in his office?  A very lucky couple got to do just that yesterday!  I guess they know the right people, because they were fortunate enough to get a tour of his office, and afterwards were blessed to visit with President Monson for about an hour.  What an opportunity! He showed them some of his memorabilia in his office, including a walking stick with all of the Boy Scout merit badges carved and painted in it, which President Monson looks very proud of. I’d like to hear the story of how he got that. Very cool!

They took some photos of their once in a lifetime opportunity, and of all of the interesting things President Monson has in his office. One of the pictures is linked below.

(Update 11/25/09): One of his friends still has a photo from the visit on Flickr. You can see it here.
