          The temple was very busy again today, and it makes me wonder how busy other temples are.  Tonight on our walk we saw several young missionaries who were meeting together for a district activity.  During the activity they share referrals and work in groups and have great success.  We visited with two sisters from our ward who were so excited about their work and so anxious to teach.  They are both North American and shared that they are still searching out people from referrals made at the temple dedication last March who haven’t been contacted yet.  They feel that the people here are so prepared for the Gospel, and their contacts—even street contacts—often result in home visits.  It is so exciting to see the work rolling forth.  The world needs the Gospel—and now!

It was dark when we walked so the photos aren't very good.  This group is
packing up and preparing to leave with one sister giving very specific
instructions about strapping on her suitcase!
This mini-bus was parked alongside the big school buses earlier.
We could see that it had more comfortable seats.  Hooray for them!

The Elders in discussion--they were there for a long time . . .
Our chapel is in the background.

Of course, I thought they should be home by dark, but they said it is a pretty
safe area and they can be out until 8:00 p.m.
