Greetings from Anaheim! Reynolds, Brad Foster and I arrived on Sunday and actually drove from the airport in Los Angeles to the Anaheim Marriott on the freeways without getting lost! Brad and I went grocery shopping yesterday afternoon in aniticipation of the whole deputution arriving today. (Reynolds and I have a room adjoining ours, and we will play host to the every evening meeting of the deputies to talk about the day, review legislation and plan for the next day.) Last night, Bishop Johnson, Brad, Reynolds and I had dinner together while Jeannie attended a meeting of the Bishops' Spouses Planning Group.
The weather here is a far cry from West Tennessee. I sat out on a lounge chair outside our room this morning to answer e-mails and actually got chilly! Later today, Reynolds and I will go to the Convention Center, which is adjacent to our hotel, to register. Deputations from around the Church are arriving today, as yesterday, and we are seeing many old friends we have grown to know over the years. It continues to be a time of reconnecting with them as well as making new friends along the way.
Things begin in earnest tomorrow with ongoing deputy certification, orientation meetings, etc. For today, we are enjoying our last bit of down time. Reynolds joins me in sending our best wishes back to each of you in West Tennessee. We'll do our best over the next two weeks to keep you informed of what's going on.
