Ward Hopping, Attended meetings, Dinner with the Ks

Three different meetings, three different wards all in one day! This was a very rewarding day for me. It was kind of like my whole last week was, a real "high," spirit-wise and emotionally. Each day was a gift that was opened and enjoyed.

It was really one of my happiest weeks as well. All I can attribute that to is the increased attendance to the temple and the flow of events. I as enlightened so much with the prompting of the Spirit and the wonderful things I learned line upon line.

I attended my own home ward sacrament meeting which was Fast and Testimony Sunday with Conference next week. I bore my testimony and shared how I felt an extra measure of an outpouring of the spirit. I knew it was with many blessings of obedience to the challenge our stake president and bishop gave us to attend the temple as many times as possible this week.

I went later in the afternoon to Tanise's Gospel Doctrine class she teaches in her Orem ward. Her lesson was about missionary work. She had called me to ask me some questions about my missionary story so went unannounced and it well well, of course.
There a couple of sisters in her ward that I knew from my temple shift and got reacquainted with them since they didn't know I was Tanise's Mom. They have known Tanise for many years, so it was nice from me to get to know them too. They think so highly of her already, so it made my day to be called "Tanise's Mom."

Moving on from her ward I sent to my old Cascade Second ward that I had been for twenty years I decided to go to their Relief Society instead of heading to Hank's for dinner just yet. I had a couple of hours before their meal so it was a great fill in time to visit. It was also great to be visiting and seeing them under favorable circumstances. I was just there a month ago for a funeral so was delighted this was a happy occasion. It made MY week too. It was about reconnecting with old friends who remember me and still love me!! It was like a mini-reunion.

I made one more stop to visit Donaire, my friend who cuts my hair, the Jewish lady who is eighty-five and loves to have me come visit her any day any time. Then I was on my way again to Hank and Lori's for dinner. We had London Broil, her dad barbequed it for everyone. Hank came home from his ward meetings with dinner on the table. His new calling as bishop keeps hi busy and he is fortunate to have the dinner hour on Sundays with his family. I catch up on all the family stuff when I am there too. It is all good. I am blessed beyond my ability to comprehend them all.


Today was also a milestone for me, that forty years ago today I received my temple endowments in the Los Angeles Temple and my children were also sealed to me the same day. Families Can BE Together Forever.
