They attended the temple with us Monday morning and then we drove out to the Whitmer Farm where Sister Pinegar took us on the tour. This is where the Church was organized on April 6, 1830.
Monday night we met at the Siebach's home but were not sure we were going to be able to have it because if you look really close in the corner of this window well you will see a skunk. He fell into the well and the True Green workers found him. Before FHE the dog catcher came and got him out. They put some polls down earlier hoping he would climb out himself. Blow up the picture and you'll see the skunk in the back.
Coming out of the temple one evening we had this beautiful site. My camera doesn't do it justice but it was beautiful. We have been so very busy at the temple this week. Several wards and branches have been coming and it has been great so see so many people receive their blessings from Heavenly Father here in His house.
Thursday evening we had our last batch of summer missionaries for dinner. We have the Thorsteds from Brigham City and the Gehrigs from Colorado. We had a wonderful evening getting to know each other. Elder Thorsted was a history teacher and Elder Gehrig was a helicopter pilot with the reserves.
Friday we drove to Sodus Point with Elder and Sister Jones. They are from South Jordan just across 13 West from our home in South Jordan. Elder Jones was also in education. Sister Jones got us to climb the 52 steps to the top of the light house. The apple orchards are all in bloom and it is beautiful.
We are on our summer schedule at the temple and are working in the office on Monday morning, Tuesday evening and every other Thursday. Wednesday we work the morning and evening shifts with the missionaries. Friday evening and Saturday day we serve with the local temple workers. We were able to go in and go on a session on Tuesday morning and Saturday morning. We are keeping busy.
Saturday evening we were invited to the Rochester Philharmonic Orchestra with the Site missionaries. We all met at the Palmyra Inn and loaded into vans which took us to the Eastman Theater. It was an "All-Gershwin Night and special performance from Jon Nakamatsu on the piano and Doug LaBrecque, tenor. It was a fun evening.
This is Elder & Sister Blackhurst. They arranged the evening for everyone.
Happy Mother's Day to all of you wonderful mothers. We were honored at Church and had some wonderful talks and music. In RS we had a great lesson from Sis. Fuqua on "Mothers Who Know" and then were treated to a nice brunch by the RS Presidency.
For lunch we invited the Temple Presidency. They are wonderful people and we are so blessed to serve with them. Sister Cederlof was not able to attend. She fell at the temple last week and is still recovering.
Be true to the covenants you have made with the Lord. He will bless and direct your every move. We love you.
