         Some in the family are still sick.  Hope they soon get 100% well. 

         I helped with the first and last sessions today and Glade did the one in the middle!  We just can’t seem to get together!  Lots of missionaries came early this morning and it is always so fun to have them in the temple and in the session.

         When I went to the church to practice today, there were missionaries there preparing for interviews with a family who were going to be baptized.  While I was visiting with the interviewer, he left briefly to talk with the sister missionaries who told him that the people had decided not to get baptized after all.  I could just feel their disappointment after seeking, finding, teaching, and preparing this family for this important step.  I know all missionaries have the same experience once in a while and it is surely a test of faith.  They continued to visit with the family outside and maybe they will still pursue their journey and just postpone until they feel a little more ready.

         It is still very windy and while Glade was working at the desk, he had to call one of the guards to come and open and close doors for people so they didn’t fly open.  The wind actually caught one of the doors and it was so lucky that it didn’t shatter like the one did last year.

         Good night.  Hope all are resting well and recovering!
