All i can say is "WOW!". That would have been such an awesome day in the temple!! Gosh... thats sweet!!!
Awww, Yang Chow rocks!! Im jealous. Im sure that was a good start for Dad's b-day. I think he will like the gift you give him BOTH of them
Yah, about leaving the Garden, our original home. A lot of people have interesting ideas because of that imagery. The early church fathers would often state in their epistles (Clement, Augustine, etc..) "To those of you sojourning at [place]". Because truely we ALL are travelers, and strangers here in a world that is not our native environemnt. The temple is the bridge BACK to our original home. It sets the chaos of this world and our awkwardness here into exact alignmnent. I love how in Alma 26, when speaking of the anti-nephi-lehis, we learn that none fell away, although the ammount of change for them was HUGE. and how was it done? well in Alma 26 it says because they were "gathered into the garners". D&C 101:65 tells us what the garners are. the very place we must go to recieve the blessings of eternal life and celestial glory, in other words, where we go to become what we are meant to be, and return to where we whence have come. the temple. They learned from those nephites who encircled them in protection after their conversion. We must be examples and do the same thing to those around us, that "none shall fall away".
Yah, i emailed Chelsea last week. Things seem to be going well for her. Im glad that she has decided on a major for school. She is going to be GREAT at it. Im sure all the guys were checkin her out lol. Hows Natalie? send me her address, id like to write her a letter.
This week is interviews. Transfers are next week. Will know NEXT tuesday. ::shrug:: things are good here. since the start of june we have gotten 8 Member Referals. Its exciting. we had a meeting with Pres. England and teh stake pres of Nashua stake, and were talking about the success. its exciting!!!
Well, we should be seeing a lot come from it. A less active lady (sister Lauth) has already set up a cottage meeting with her friends, and we are teaching them on Wed. and Thurs!! tis sweet. Taught them this week at the church, and gave them a tour. Its exciting. I think her friends will get baptized! tuaght a part-member family last night, and had a great heart to heart with another LA.
