So, Since I've started working for the church, there have been some pretty memorable moments. Last friday as we were setting up for a piano recital I just happen to meet Elder D. Todd Christoffereson of the Quorum of the 12 Apostles. Very phonetic last name wouldn't ya say?He happens to be the 3rd Apostle I've ever meet. Yeah, I know, You could pretty much say that I'm practically best Bros with the Honky tonk 12(for those who've just read that and doesn't understand why I would reffered to the Quorum of the 12 Apostles like that, its an inside joke for the BF).The First Apostle I ever meet was Elder Richard G. Scott in Australia on the ole mission. Spiritual Giant of a man. Not a Physical giant of a man. He was mondo sort. He stilled rocks though. Many are called but few are shorten.....haha, ok that was way wrong and lame.And in all honesty not a funny joke at all. But! its 5 in the morning! I totally should be sleeping right now. I don't know why I'm wide awake. It Crazeh I know. i just couldn't sleep! So, just like every insomniac, you must blog the night away! So by now I know what you're thinking "Cut the crap ZEH, just tell us how you met Elder Christofferson!" Well, don't worry if you love me, which I know you do you'll wait. Because.... there is a totally of 5 people who read this thing. 3 of them love me 100%. One of them loves me 72%. And the other just has " I have a blog and you have a blog and we're bros" love for me. I guess in its own way that 100% as well. So, I think someone better up their game and get a 28% boost to there Greg Zeh love chart.Or maybe I need to up my game for that 28% boost. Either way, 72% is over the 50 percentile marker, so that means the love is only progressing. Ok! so, the next Apostle I meets was president Dieter F. Uchdorf. Now in the Sweet new first presidency. Rest in Peace Gordon B. You da man! Last fall whenever me and the pops traveled to Arizona so I could get my study on at the Conservatory(by the way we made it in 21 hours and only stopped once to sleep. We rock)Sister bagley( my Land Lord) Told us that elder uchdorf was going to be speaking at there stake conference the next day. So, we thought sweet we'll go check it out! We got there way early so we could get good seats. Which we do I might add cuz we're coo like that. At the end we went up to shake his hand. I didn't say anything, because everyone was trying to get a piece of the apostle action. But the pops said, and I quote " Our ancestors are German. the Zeh family. And Elder Uchdorf replied"thats wonderful". Oh yeah, he knows I'm German just like he is. Booya@thatssweet.com.So, here it is, the moment that all 5 of you have been waiting for. (Oh, if there is some random person reading this then you can defiantly add yourself to the 5) the story of how I met Elder D. Todd Christofferson. So, there i was sitting in the assembly hall not a care in the world (well except which flavor powerade I wanted to drink after the concert).I was looking around for my friend nick, the kid I was working with. Over my left shoulder I noticed he was walking over with the big comfee chair(way comfee, I sat in in afterwards) I looked forward just because people do that from time to time, and when I look backed to see if he was getting any closer, standing above me was Elder D. Todd Christoffereson. I know exciting right! I looked up at him smiled extended my hand for a shake. He looked down at me, smiled extended his hand for a shake then went and sat down next to his wife. It was one of those moments you really didn't understand what just happen till after it was over. But was sweet. Man I love temple square. The spirit there is amazing. It is the grounds that ever modern day prophet has walked since brigham young. I marvel at that. In the temple there the first presidency and the Quorum of the 12 Apostles meet to council one with another and to receive instruction from the Savior. I marvel at that. I know the Lord Lives. I have felt his spirit there. Now that thats out of my system, maybe I can get some Z's. peace
A lot of CRAZEH things have happen to me in the last two weeks. I finally pulled out my cord for my camera out of my "closet"( aka my car) So I can download some pics from the last two weeks. I have truly been hippie status these last few weeks. Going from one Bros place to the next. In all honesty is pretty fun. I don't have to worry about bills or a meal. But thats a fantasy life styles. I am truly in the "decade of decisions." The choices I make now will undoubtable effect my future. I think i've made pretty sweet decisions so far...I went to Australia to kick it wit those who live "Down under" and preach the good word. That truly helped me become the man I am today. I moved away from home and went to school in Arizona. All choices being made with counsel with my heavenly father no doubt. Now, I'm here in Utah. Working for the Church. Only a part time gig. But a blessing non the lesser. This is exactly where i wanted to be. Not only that but exactly where I knew I should be.
