Missionary Work

Short thoughts not mentioned in letter:

The joy of visiting an inactive sister, having such a good visit, giving the Visiting Teaching message, and then she wanted to say the prayer!

Helping someone with Family History who is not a member of the church. So fun to meet him. He restores old homes. 

Visiting a sister in the nursing home for one and a half hours!

Having a successful linger longer that helped members visit with each other!

Teaching a lesson where the spirit was so strong and feeling others excitement at new-found knowledge.

Watching an older brother give his first healing blessing with Dad's help. It was so humble and beautiful, and it was to his x-wife who is going in for surgery. I'm glad they are friends.

Having a great time at Achievement Days!

Being very tired, feeling tempted with discouragement.

Really loving people and wanting to sincerely help.

Having Dad take me out to dinner (could of gotten a picture of this!) to help me feel better. It was actually the best Italian restaurant I've every been to, and we split the meal which is always a deal:) 

Being able to comment on facebook. (Didn't think I would ever say that!)

Talking to my children and sharing in their joy

Loving the Lord for all His goodness to me and my family.

Here are the very few pictures:

We had Achievement Days and I forgot to take pictures. There were four girls (one not a member) and we talked about prayer. Since there is so much wood everywhere, we decorated a piece of wood to help the girls remember prayer.

I made two little Book of Mormon scripture bags for the 5-year old twins in our branch.

First drive on "Old Plank Road" When it was first made, they used old planks of wood to cover the road so it wasn't so muddy. The name stuck. 

This is where the picture of us getting Marion's book will go when we finally get it!

Have a wonderful week, and thank you for the letters.
