Divine Mistake

Stake conference was scheduled for this weekend, and tonight was the adult session. Papa and Mimi had to leave early because Mimi was in charge of the stake dinner (oh, the joys of RS Stake Pres). Ben had a band performance, so that left us to make dinner and then go to the session. For some reason, we both assumed that the session would be at the San Rafael chapel-a half hours drive south. We got there and there were NO CARS. Kind of weird for a stake conference... While we were making calls, attempting to figure out where we were supposed to be, an older couple drove up and were also confused as to were the adult session was to be held. We finally deduced that the meeting was half an hour north of where we were -_- so we let the older couple know and headed up there ourselves.

We quietly slipped into the meeting, as if we had been there the entire time ;) The older couple also came in at about the same time, and went straight up to the stand.
Hmmm...?
Turns out they were the temple president and matron, and they were giving talks that night!
As soon as the temple matron got up to the stand, she asked where the 'cute little couple with a baby' was. We sheepishly waved at her, and she mentioned how grateful she was that we went to the wrong place so that we could direct them to where to go, because they would have been at a loss of where to go without us.

Kind of a cool lesson in Heavenly Father making use of us, even in our mistakes :)
But next time, we are going to listen closer to where we are supposed to be meeting.
