Graduation was last Thursday night, and we're so excited the time has come when we'll be able to see Jason more often and be done with school...at least for now!
Elder Anderson spoke at the graduation, and it was so awesome when he talked about how just the day before he was ordained an apostle in the temple. We got to hear his first talk after his ordination. He talked about the difference between having knowledge and being wise, and the difference between the wisdom of the world and the wisdom of the Lord referring to the scripture in 2 Nephi 9:28-29 where it says, "When they are learned they think they are wise, and they hearken not unto the counsel of God, for they set it aside, supposing they know of themselves, wherefore, their wisdom is foolishness and it profiteth them not...But to be learned is good if they hearken unto the counsels of God." It was a really great talk about trusting in the Lord's wisdom, and I was really glad I could be there to hear it.
Here's Jason at the bottom of the stairs receiving his diploma...COVER..they mail the diplomas later.
Here's Jason sitting with the other graduates.
A family picture...can't you just feel the kids' excitement over the occasion?! I think they were a little confused about what was going on and what the big deal was anyway!
