President Uctdorf!

Greeting President Uctdorf!
It was so exciting!  President Uctdorf was vacationing with his family in Oahu and took a day to drop into BYUH to see the new exhibit in the McKay foyer and also to see an artifact that he had donated to the BYUH Archives.  It was a quick little visit and we couldn't tell anyone he was coming to protect his privacy on his family vacation. (We didn't tell our kids until after we got home.)   Michael and I got to meet him and some of his family.  Sister Uctdorf is a fun lady and translated for her grandkids who didn't speak English.   President Uctdorf is very friendly and engaging and we were thrilled to meet an Apostle in person!  It was a very special treat for us!

How wonderful is that! How did you get away with not telling the kids?

I got to meet him once. He made everyone else feel like the most important person in the room. What a great person!
