Week 20 October 6 - 10

Paul and I got to officiate and follow a session together Saturday night.  Very fun.  We had an ASL sister on the session.  We also did some sealings together this week.  We are getting lots of names completed.  Some we have found and some we got from Darlene.  The temple seems a little slow probably because of the two temples opening in our area.

Last Friday we went to lunch with our evening group to an Indian Restaurant "Kismat".  Very good.  Afterwards we walked about 15 blocks to find a Wendy's for some ice cream.

Paul  and Mindi Rogers, LV and Sister Wilson, Tetons, all going home October 17.

Monday we serve in the temple from 8-1.  Today is Columbus Day and the temple is open and will be staffed with the missionaries.  We are looking forward to a great day.  It was a nice day.  Not too many people in the temple but some fairly good sessions.  No patrons for initiatories and a few for sealings.  It was a great way to spend Columbus Day.  We are reminded that Columbus is mentioned in the Book of Mormon and he, himself, felt that God was directing his path to the Americas.

We heard today that Dale and Lee Talley received a mission call to Zambia South Africa to serve with Church Education.  What a great time they are going to have and what a blessing to many.  They leave Jan 9, 2017.
