The Grand-daddy of all Christmas Parties

So Jon had his company Christmas party last night. It was AWESOME!!

Location: 26th floor of the Church Office Building

Guests of honor: President Eyring and his wife, Elder Ballard and his wife, Elder Nelson and his wife, and Bishop Burton and his wife.

Entertainment: John Schmidt (w/ gift copy of hymns without words piano solos)

Speaker: President Eyring

Good food. Great atmosphere. Awesome company.

The neatest thing was one of the comments that President Eyring made. Background-when we heard about the car accident, Jon was clinging to "It's true." The only way he was able to be as strong as he has is because of his testimony of the gospel, and subsequently the plan of salvation and the sealing powers. President Eyring spoke about it being true and the strength that comes from it being true. Nice to have it reaffirmed, especially by an especial witness of Christ who is ordained as a prophet, seer and revelator.

I wish my company had work parties like that. Oh, wait, I don't actually have a job. That might have something to do with it.

That really is cool.
