          The older missionary couple from Wyoming came to our apartment this afternoon to watch the Church Missionary broadcast with us.  It was broadcast to our chapel, but it is more comfortable “at home.”  Besides—I wanted to hear it in English.  Glade found it on the BYU channel, but it was BYU’s international channel so it was in Spanish.  I went to my laptop and tried to bring it up on lds.org, but there were problems with the internet so that didn’t work.  Then I decided to try the “Mormon Channel” and low and behold—there it was.  So we watched it on our TV and heard it in English on my laptop—perfect!  While we were getting it set up, we heard it in Spanish and it was really odd hearing Spanish words in a foreign voice come from the apostles lips!!

          Did any of you see this two-hour broadcast?  It was wonderful.  It will be re-broadcast if you are interested.  Glade said it was called “Hastening the Work of Salvation” and it was beautifully done.  It was very inspiring with lots of video clips of personal experiences and stories along with informative counsel about how missionary work can be improved.  The weight falls to the members and the counsels.  If you have the time, it is worth it to watch this.

          We love the family blog and hope you all have time to post something at least occasionally.  It keeps us in touch with you and you in touch with each other.

          Only one more week in June and then the summer fun and travel really get under way.  All of you, please be safe—and be happy.  Love to Everyone!!
