DECEMBER 2,2009-COUNSELING CONFERENCE BANQUET

Bill was in a seminar in Salt Lake from Dec 2-4. Tonight was a Banquet to honor all the ex-pats that served in foreign countries. I met him at the Radisson at 5:30p.m and the Banquet started at 6 and went to 7:30p.m. It was so nice to see all of our ex-pat friends. Nic and Gloria Aste were in Santiago, Chili. The Browns were in Mexico, Paul and Danett Garrett were in Brazil. The men spoke to everyone regarding our experiences. We were acknowledged by everyone with a standing ovation. I was really shocked by their appreciation of our sacrifice by living away from home and our families. Bill did a great job speaking and was very sweet to me by thanking me for supporting him. It was a lovely evening. I came home and Bill stayed for the next couple of days to finish the seminar.
