Banff etc

This past week we started on our Service Mission which is looking after missionary housing for Southern Alberta.  We attended missionary transfer day and were surprised that they had a devotional preceding the transfers.  We were asked to speak at this meeting.  We have not yet been set apart.

On Friday we drove up to Calgary and then rode up to Banff with Nathan and Tara.  We attended a conference of the Alberta Chapter of the J. Reuben Clark Law Society (Brigham Young University Law School).  We checked into the Banff Springs Hotel at the same time as D. Todd Christofferson (a member of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints) and rode in the elevator with him and his wife.  He gave the keynote address at the Friday evening banquet and his talk was impressive.  It was about freedom of religion and the law.

Saturday morning there were three classes, which Bob and Nathan attended, but I didn't.  The Honourable Madam Justice Carolyn S. Phillips of the Court of Queen's Bench was one of the speakers.
