Party Animals

Glen and I drove around to 17 families' homes to invite these less actives and investigators to our Branch mother's day dinner on Thursday.  On Friday we had the dinner.  Not everyone came.  But some came!
One of the sisters hasn't been to church in over a year.  She brought her mom, sister, and four kids.  And says she wants to come back into the church.  Tomorrow will tell.

Another sister is an investigator that we saw for the first time this week with a member accompanying us. She brought her mom, sister, and kids.  The mom is 86 and when we visited Tues. she said she felt something telling her to ask this man (Glen) to give her a blessing. She has great pain in her legs.  So Glen did and I knew it was going to help her and it did!  At the dinner she said the pain is much less.

We also worked hard to get a family to come that had been offended by a church member and wasn't coming to church anymore.  And they came!

We also had district and zone meeting on Tuesday morning.  I was asked the day before to give a 10 minute talk on Accountability.  Giving talks is nothing anymore if I can just do it in English!  So I gave the talk and near the end I was talking about the accounting that is done in the Temple ceremony and I had the best experience with the Holy Ghost! It is so wonderful to be on a full time mission and have the opportunity to work so close with the Lord.

I would like to take a moment to wish my daughters and daughters-in-law a Happy Mothers Day. These mothers are the best mothers I know and I love them. Keep in mind that Adam called Eve the mother of all living and God agreed.  And this was before she had any children! And Happy Mothers Day to all you good women reading this too.
