Today
was Stake Conference, it is always good to hear from Presidents Wilcox,
Bailey and Carlton. We also heard from the Mt. Timpanogos temple
president and his wife, and our area authority, Elder Chidester. Great
meeting today, as well as the adult session last night. My favorite
quote came from a recently returned sister missionary, her mission
president had said, "Obedience brings blessings, but EXACT obedience
brings miracles!" A good reminder to strive to live the gospel with
exactness.
Yesterday Dad took Stefanie and a
couple of her friends to the temple to do baptisms for the dead. I have
been doing some family history work and had a stack of names for them to
do. It really is fun and rewarding to do temple work for our own
ancestors! Makes temple work that much more meaningful! Some
more news about Stefanie, she is doing great in Seminary. Every night
at 9:00 the alarm on her phone goes off to remind her to read her
scriptures. No matter what we are doing at the time she jumps up and
runs to her room to get her scripture reading done for the day.
Awesome!
Well, now that the basketball
season has come to an end It is nice to have Dad around the house a
little more. Still no word on the Lehi job, Dad thinks he will get an
interview this week. We are crossing fingers for him! And now all the
spring sports are beginning to get underway. I saw online that LHS
soccer tryouts are happening this week, the first practice will be on
Friday. We will definitely go to a few games this season for old times
sake!
I think that is all our news for the
week, we sure love you and hope you are well. We love reading your
letters each week, we are so proud of the work you are doing. Always
remember how much we love and support you. You are always in our
thoughts and prayers! Love, Mom
p.s. What would you think about a visit to the Sacred Grove? We are making plans for a family vacation this summer!
