So there I was...coming back to my building from getting the mail. I opened the door and noticed that it was blocked by a large body of people. They stepped aside for me so that I could walk through their circle to the other door. A gentleman opened the other door for me and said "Don't worry you are among friends." I looked at the gentleman that said that and ... it was
Elder Jeffrey R Holland. I was so excited that the following conversation blew out of my mouth.
HEIDI: oh, oh, oh... Can I shake your hand (imagine me saying that all giddy-like)???
ELDER HOLLAND just laughs and sticks out his hand
HEIDI: you just made my day.
And...I EXIT.
Classy Heidi, classy.
I. Am. Officially. A. Dork.
But a
dork who has shook the hand of an apostle!!!
