Back in September, on Constitution Day, the church broke ground on the Philadelphia LDS Temple, which was really exciting! President Eyring and a lot of other General Authorities came out for the event, and I lucked out and got to be part of a small committee of 7 women to host a lunch for them after the ceremony. My friend Tiffany and I were in charge of the centerpieces and the desserts. It was lots of work, and one of the best experiences I've ever had! We got to meet all the General Authorities and Pres. Eyring and his wife and daughter, and then eat with them. They were all so enthusiastic and kind. I'll never forget it!
It was decided that the whole lunch should be decorated patriotically, so Tiffany and I rounded up some reproductions of the Constitution and used them under the flower arrangements.
I made lemon tarts and dark chocolate cupcakes. Tiffany whipped up some killer apple crisp. We had an incredible lunch of grilled salmon, salad, veggies, and rice.
A hideous photo of me, but the only one we got with Pres. Eyring!
