D for Devotional?

I was looking forward to going to Time Out For Women in Auckland on Saturday 15 April. There were many different motivating speakers attending most of which I have heard of before. But I guess the main attraction for me was David Archuleta. For those of you who do not know then I will explain. He was a finalist on American Idol in 2008. And we just happened to be in the States when the final was on. Our dear friend Leane placed one vote for me for David Archuleta but she posted several more for David Cook who won. Anyway I just love the sound of his voice and I have taken a great interest in what he has been doing over the years. What was really exciting was he decided to go on a mission for our Church. The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
Now for the D is for Devotional? Well it could be changed to D is for David because can you imagine my delight when we were told that we would be having a devotional for half our mission on the Thursday before with a few of the TOFW presenters. Guess who we got lumbered with????? David Archuleta and Brad Wilcox. Calm down girl. I think I was excited as all the other missionaries. It was a very special meeting. Brad Wilcox is an amazing inspirational speaker and brought the scriptures alive for us. David spoke and sang many hymns including a on the spur of the moment duet with our lovely mission president. Luckily President Rudd has a good singing voice. (Also luckily he probably will never read our blog) They sang the first verse of I am a child of God. It was so gently sung, magic! At the end of the meeting instead of us staying in our seats while our guest left we were told that both David and Brad would like to go around to all of us missionaries and talk and shake as many hand as he could. So I waited patiently as he went up and down the other isle. Then was eagerly waiting for him to down my isle, instead I just saw the back of his head as he chatted with the young missionaries. Now what was I going to do. Well his manager suggested I stand at the end of the isle beside her then he would have to pass between us to leave the chapel. So did that go as planned, NO! As he finished shaking the young missionaries hand he went in the opposite direction from me across the back of the seats. I don't know what came over me as I just quietly said "DAVID" he turned around and shook my hand as he said "Sister Saunders". Now where was the photographer when you want him. No one was around. But I had plenty of witness.
Can you imagine my surprise when I arrived in the office the next day and turned on my computer? Elder Christy, Elder Kirk and Elder Rasband had hijacked my screen saver. Plus they took a photo of themselves. I hope they don't mind me posting that photo on here. To be completely honest I prefer the photo of the three Elders with their cheeky grins than the David one although I was please that they took it don't get me wrong but I just love those three Elders. I guess I should add that Elder Saunders was also their with me. We also took the Witts with us and what finished the day off nicely was that we all went out for a meal in Auckland.
