Four weeks ago tonight we boarded a plane for our flight to Atlanta to start this amazing journey.  We are happy to have a month of “firsts” under our belt and know the ropes a little.  The senior missionary couple from Kaysville, the Starkeys, will be leaving late tonight from Salt Lake and arriving here tomorrow early afternoon.   There is certainly a need for more men to serve in the temple and we are looking forward to having them here.  Apparently, there is no retirement here and people have to just keep on working to pay their bills and put food on the table.  Consequently, daytime help from the men is light.

Perhaps I posted this already, but Glade and I are reading the Book of Mormon in Spanish out loud every day after we get “home” to our apartment.  He is good to take time and patiently help me with pronunciation.  There is power and influence that can come into our lives when we read the Book of Mormon.  I am counting on that!!  This particular Book of Mormon was a gift from a sweet sister who just wanted to share it with me and help me with the language. 

It was another great day.  It’s great when Glade and I get to work together in a session.  We are very blessed.  Thanks for your thoughts and prayers.  We can feel them every day.
