Meeting an Apostle of The Lord

Ok so you might think because I live in Utah that we run into general authorities all the time. But it's not common at all.

I have to tell you the story!
So mum and I were at Costco. When we see Cody, a new member of the church. We talk to him and all the sudden he says, "is that Uchtdorf?". Shocked I look over to the aisle next to us and say, "if that's not him it's someone who looks just like him." Luckily Cody was brave enough to approach him. Cody says,"excuse me sir will you say your name?" The man smiles and with a very heavy German accent says, "Deter Uchtdorf" I wish you could have seen the excitement on Cody's face. "I knew it was you!" Cody got to talk to him while president Uchtdorf's wife talked to mum and I. They both were so nice. Mum and I just turned red and speechless. I could feel the Spirit so strong surrounding them. It was incredible. We didn't even think to get a picture with them. It was so encouraging to meet them and talk to them. We had goosebumps for so long after. It was a great experience they even got to meet Thayne! It was funny once we got in the car because both of us kept thinking of all the things we wanted to say but couldn't. Definitely added to my testimony.

In the picture you can barely see him but I promise it's him!
