Last Sunday night was Break the Fast. We picked up the Petersons, from Ivans and friends of Gary and Diane's, to take them with us. They are still tired but settling in. They work from 8 or 9 to 4 or 5 every day, so they have a long day. FHE was about taxes given by Elder Cain and Weech. We will see what Kory decides is the best road for us. We have $23,000 in church donations and probably around 7 or 8 hundred in expenses so it might be to our advantage to itemize. He will probably have to do it both ways to decide.
The kids, Kory and Kelly, got together for dinner Sunday. It's nice to see them getting together. Mallorie, Brayden and Gary went over to Marcie's for dinner with the family also. It's so good to keep these connections.
Yesterday, Sunday, we invited Tessa Sullivan over for her birthday dinner. She is finishing up her student teaching and will graduate in April. Her family is coming. She has to teach until the end of the school year, June 3.
We are tired of driving around the island so opted to stay home today. We did get up early and go to the gym and racketball. Elder Broadbent has been sick this weekend with a bad cold and as soon as Emily Woleist heard about it she made chicken noodle soup for everyone. They are the most amazing people. So giving of time, money and love. We are so blessed to know them.
We also stopped at the Assisted Living home and visited with Leslie and listened to Percy who came to sing. There are some lovely people there.
We love the sister missionaries. Tomorrow is transfer and many are moving apartments and 10 going home. I took over some yogart and cookies this morning to the teaching center. I try to keep something over there every week.
This is an amazing week. All 15 apostles are in Rome for the dedicatiton of the Rome Temple. What an amazing accomplishment. President Nelson said it is 162 temple with over 200 announced or being built. We are living in a wonderful time. Temples are dotting the earth and we feel so blessed to be serving in one. Saturday we were able to help with two sealings. One a young couple from Colorado and a local who was being sealed after 14 years of marriage, an older couple. So sweet to be apart of this work. We serve with incredible people, all so dedicated to loving the Lord and we are constantly amazed at the sacrifices they make to be here.
We love the Lord and are trying to do our small part in helping His work to move forward.
