Today, Sunday, March 11 we met with President Soffe, Healy and Brough at the Stake Offices to be set apart as missionaries. Bishop Jackson and Robbie also came. They each shared some thoughts and gave appreciation for our service and then we were given beautiful blessings and encouraged to continue to study the scriptures and develop all the talents Heavenly Father has given us. We have such supportive leaders whom we love. I also have a wonderful husband who reaches out to everyone and is the first to thank someone for their service. I am very blessed to have such a loving and caring man in my life.
After Church we all went over to Kory and Katie's for dinner and a good visit. We have wonderful grandchildren we are so very proud of.
Isaiah 61
Matt 22
1 Tim 4:12
D&C 31:3 "Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare glad tidings of great joy unto this generation."
“I meet so many people who constantly complain about their burden of their responsibilities. Of course the pressures are great. There is much, too much, to do. There are financial burdens to add to all of these pressures, and with all of this we are prone to complain, frequently at home, often in public. Turn your thinking around. The gospel is good news. Man is that he might have joy. Be happy! Let that happiness shine through your faces and speak through your testimonies. You can expect problems. There may be occasional tragedies. But shining through all of this is the plea of the Lord: “Come unto me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest...”
President Gordon B. Hinckley
