Star Struck

So yesterday we were running around getting things ready for Selini's b'day party. I told Pulu we needed to get a lil swimming pool for her at Walmart, so we decided we'd meet up at the Glendale Walmart. So we're walking around and Pulu and Jay go one way and me, Ariana, and Selini go another way...all of a sudden I see this tall, lengthy man with a security guard walking towards me, I stare up and had whiplash because I knew it was HENRY B. EYERING! I turned to Nana and said that's Henry B. Eyering...another man passed by me and smiled cause he knew too. People were staring at him, but leaving him be. NOT ME! lmbo I was freakin out calling Pulu's phn so he could hurry up and bring Jay so we could take a pic with him. It has always been Jays dream to meet one of the apostles, and quite frankly mine too! So as soon as they came, we headed towards them. I had to make sure it was REALLY him..Pulu was like that's not him, I knew without a doubt it was him. So I said President Eyering, he responded YES w/ a smile :) I said would you take a picture with my kids, my son has always wanted to meet an apostle..while I was talking he came up to me and grabbed hold of my hand and said "What is your name?" (tears wanted to flow, I felt he knew how I was longing to meet him all my life) I said Dianna, or sister Otukolo. He said "It is a pleasure to meet you." He then asked what Jays name was and said "let's take a picture!" I was about to take it, when his security said here let me take it, you're gonna wanna be in this picture! I said ok, then Ariana was standing there and I said Nana come, and Pres Eyering said "Yeah Nana come on!" So we took our pic, I thanked him, and he said thank u to us and have a great day! His security went on pulling different pairs of pants off the racks, saying, "How is this Pres Eyering?" I couldn't believe he was looking for church pants at Walmart! lol..I love it!

I was and am just so humbled to have been able to meet a living apostle, and more so my children! I was overcome with the spirit of meeting him, the rest of my day was just a blur, cause I couldn't believe I met him in real life! I felt like he was an answer to my prayers! I hope my kids will always remember that moment, I wish Selini & Pulu could've been in the picture, but Selini was about to cry, and Pulu was hiding cause he's so shy! lmbo...I've never been star struck, it's an amazing adrenaline rush feeling! Yesterday was great, and who woulda thunk @ the Glendale Walmart?!! hahaha
