Valentines Day was a wonderful day! There was such a fun and exciting spirit in the air. Everyone was excited and happy all day. We knew there was a General Authority coming to speak to the saints in Lagos. People were encouraged to take time off work to be there. The fireside was scheduled to begin at 4:00 p.m. It was fun to anticipate Elder and Sister Clayton's arrival to the chapel. So much work went into the preperation for the visit. The picture above was taken of the Ibe family right after the fireside. Tim and I work very closely with Ike. He is a great young man with a beautiful and nice wife and three adorable little boys.
After the fireside we got to go out to eat with Elder and Sister Clayton, Elder and Sister Sitati, Elder and Sister Ojideran, Elder and Sister Madu, Elder and Sister Inyon, Elder and Sister Ekong, Three Stake Presidents and their wives, President and Sister Adebayo (baby Fayi) and the missionary couples. This is a picture of baby Fayi and her three adopted grandmothers.
The next day we had a meeting with all the missionaries in the area and the General Authorities and then another meeting a few minutes later with all the service center employees. Personally, I loved meeting Sister Clayton the very most. She is a warm and enthusiastic woman. She makes all feel like they could be her best friend! They were wonderful days.
