Today is Jenna's birthday. It is also
"Find a Rainbow Day". She now starts life off as a teenager although
she has absolutely no desire of growing up.
She tried watching conference yesterday.
I admire her for trying. And I
know she really was trying to make comments each time she made an off-the-wall
comment that brought a smile to my face.
The first was during the morning
session yesterday when the camera had swung around the men performing with the
Mormon Tabernacle Choir. The view was
from behind and two the side.
"Is that Donald Trump?!? That guy [in the choir]'s hair looks like
Donald Trump's! Why would anyone want
his hair to be like Donald Trump's?!?"
I think it was during Ronald A.
Rasband's talk in which a picture was shown of two missionaries. Jenna's comment:
"I like their suits. It looks like they're going to prom."
Don't know that's really the image
that the Church would want to be portrayed.
I guess that's why the dress code has more restrictions now.
In the afternoon session,
she didn't think Joaquin E. Costa's voice
matched his face. When he showed his wedding photo, we both agreed that he looked
like John Francis Daley who played Sweets in the TV series "Bones"
We did watch
conference and did get more out of some talks than others. She said her favorite talk had been given by Joy
D. Jones. I think she related more to
the youth centered talk and finding examples among her friends. Plus she has always liked the story of
Meshach, Shadrach and Abednego.
I don't know
if Jeffery R. Holland's (from Saturday morning session) was my favorite or
not. I did enjoy his illustration of
being a part of a choir to our very existence all while interweaving
"sunshine in my soul" - I enjoyed his analogy.
I hope Jenna
may find a rainbow like the one that shown on March 30. Perhaps it will have to be a metaphorical
rainbow. Her party won't be until the 8th.
Happy Birthday, honey!
