Monday, June 20th: Today is Danielle's 16th birthday! She has grown into a beautiful young lady. We talked to her on the phone for a little bit. Today is p-day so we fed the missionaries & cleaned. Later we took 2meals to Sister Katie Hall. She is in a wheelchair & her husband is very sick in the hospital. They are really having a rough time.
Tuesday, June 21st: Elder Dicksen helped Elder Sadler sync his Fitbit with his computer. He worked on genealogy while Sister Knight & I visited with Angie Huddleston & her daughter, Destinee and then visited with Dawn Woodruff & her mom, Brenda. We stayed way too long at both places--need to work on that!
Wednesday, June 22nd: Had an appointment with the massage therapist at 9:30 & then took Ann Owens out to eat & visited with her. Elder Sadler talked to her about pausing when praying to listen for prompting from the Holy Ghost. She said that she had never thought about that before & she would do it. Later we visited with the Knoll's and Elder Sadler talked to them about patriarchal blessings & family history research. They are a great family. She showed us all her rabbits & chickens. She has lots of rabbits & baby rabbits! She let me hold one--they are so sweet! Later Elder Sadler went home teaching with Brother Huddleston.
Thursday, June 23rd: This morning we went to see the ladies in the nursing home. The Wicklunds are out of town so we checked on Kim. She needed to go to the store so I took her while Elder Sadler sprayed around the house. Later we went to visit the Blairs but they were not home so we left them a note & invited them to the linger longer & also called & left a message about it too because he had asked us to let him know when the next on was. Later we had the Book of Mormon class. We had Ann Owens, Thelma Kirkland, the Knights & the Harper's there. Ann told us that she had received a witness from the Holy Ghost that the Book of Mormon is true! We were so excited about that!
Friday, June 24th: Today I cooked lunch & fed Elders Dickson & Schenk. Elder Sadler taught a Temple prep. Class. I went visiting teaching with Ann Knight. Later we took a birthday candy bar to Jamie Godwin.
Saturday, June 25th: We took Elder Dickson & Elder Schenk to the Temple to do baptisms with a member that Elder Schenk baptized. Elder Sadler & I did an endowment session. Afterward we waited outside while they visited & took pictures. This was the last day before the Temple will be closed for several weeks so there were a lot of people there & more outside visiting than I had ever seen before. Everyone was so happy. I soaked up the happiness that was there--such a special feeling of love--it was the place to be! I will never forget the feeling that was there on the Temple grounds that afternoon--it really touched my heart like never before.
Sunday, June 26th: We were asked to give sharing time in Primary. We talked about the Holy Ghost & how He can help us. I told them the story told by David M. McConkie about how the Holy Ghost helped him find his pocket knife. He learned that the Holy Ghost can speak to animals too because the horse knew right where to stop! Look it up--it's a great story. After church we had a "linger longer" (we never had heard that term until we came here). The Knight's brought Kim & her little service dog, Virtue. The kids had a fit over her & wanted to hold her & Kim let them. First time Kim came to church!
Those who exercise faith in Christ, repent of their sins & are baptized in Christ's name can be sanctified by the Holy Ghost. If they endure to the end, they will stand spotless before Christ at the last day and will enter into the rest of the Lord. Christ will hold them guiltless before the Father. He will be their Mediator and Advocate. PMG
