The Mission

I wish I had kept a journal recording the people I help at the family search center.

I have had some wonderful people come in for help.

For, me, their stories are compelling, humorous, delightful, inspiring.

And, I am so grateful for this opportunity!

Inspiring Talks

When I exercise, I listen to the conference talks.

I am also reading one a day.

Yesterday was Stake Conference and there were some inspiring talks given then.

I'm grateful for these talks and for being reminded that I just need to continue to have faith and hope.

Oh, how I need to be reminded of that.

And, I'm grateful to have talks available to listen to or read again.

St George

Yesterday, we drove over to the Tonaquint Cemetery and picked our our cemetery lots.

Now, it seems like that might have been a gloomy or dismal event, but it wasn't  We walked around the cemetery and realized what a beautiful and peaceful place it is.

I just love living here.  I love the weather; like right now, it's just so gorgeous.

I love the kind people, our neighbors.  I as very happy to be living here.

I'm grateful we found this lovely, safe place to live out our lives.

Eyesight

There is a new missionary at the Family history Center.

He is such a good goody guy.

He is blind.

I watch him and marvel at how well he gets around.

He wants so badly to be part of what is going on.

Overtime I see him pointing his walking stick, I am grateful over and over again for my eyesight.

Oh, yes.  Thank you Heavenly Father for my eyesight.

FAMILY

She was a widow and wanted to find some information about her family.

So, we built her a tree in family search.

Once we connected her parents and grandparents, the tree just expanded out many generations.

She was so excited and pleased.  She had fun seeing where everyone was from.

But, you see, she has no one to share all that information with.

She has no children.

A brother-in-law living in Colorado, but no one else.

I thought of our large, noisy, rambunctious gang, and I WAS SO GRATEFUL!

Thank you, Heavenly Father, for FAMILIES...

Especially MINE!

The MISSIONARIES at the Family History Center

It's such a blessing to serve with so many good people.

Man, they are so helpful...all the time.

I am overwhelmed with the goodness and thoughtfulness of people.

And, I am so very grateful.

ST. GEORGE!

I love St. George.

Today, driving home from exercising, the sky was so blue and filled with the most beauteous clouds.  All different kinds spread across the bright blue sky.

My heart soared in happiness.

And, i realized - as I often do - how much I

LOVE

living here.

And, I am so grateful.
