"God's work done in God's way will never lack God's supply."

- Hudson Taylor

Well, there is never enough time to write, and I kind of failed in taking pictures this week. But, nonetheless, it was a great one! Included are some pictures at the temple... 

Temple Trip with the Malone's

The Malone's were able to go to the temple and do baptisms for the dead, and Keith was able to complete 200 temple names. Well, he was only able to baptize 15 of his ancestors, and Helen was able to do 2 of her ancestors. It was a great time, and the Spirit was so strong as they were able to take part in giving their ancestors the opportunity to accept the gospel on the other side of the veil.

Dinner after the Temple Trip

We also were able to teach Sis. Homer this week and extended a baptismal date of February 7th to her. She said that she would think about it, but it is a HUGE likelihood that she will accept that date and be baptized as a member of the church. 

There are so many other things that I could write about, but like I said, there just never is enough time. But one thing that Sis. Homer said to me on Sunday has been stuck in my head for awhile... she was saying how she just feels right about this church. She hasn’t been to her church in a couple of weeks now and doesn’t even feel bad about it, but she just feels right whenever she comes to ours. We started talking about journeys and how we all have our own journey, but Heavenly Father is always there to accompany us. Well, in each of our journeys He helps us to return to live with Him, but we have to be willing to follow Him on this journey. I know that the reason why she feels ready is because in this journey she is on, Heavenly Father has presented her with a choice (like He does with each of us), and all we need to do is follow the Spirit and make the right choice. 

I know that we are all blessed with that spirit to make the right choice, and I am so grateful to be able to teach people about the Spirit and how they can make the right choice and follow their Heavenly Father and the wonderful plan that He made for each of us. I am so grateful for the mission and all the things that I have learned. I hope that we all take the time to listen to the Spirit and know what it is that our loving Heavenly Father wants us to do. I love this work, and I love my job.
