Well, it's been a couple of weeks since we wrote in our blog. We had a lot of problems last week keeping logged on to the internet. We really didn't have any news anyway. It's been another quiet week again. We are on the morning shift at the desk this month. We really like mornings but each shift has it's benefits.
We love checking our emails & the mailbox. Sis. Dory is my visiting teacher & she sends me messages every month. Then last week we got a manila envelope in the mail & there was a big poster that had been signed by members of our ward. It was very exciting & reminded us how much we appreciate & love our ward family.
We have gone to the Central Falls Ward in Rhode Island for the past 2 weeks. Yesterday we spoke in Sacrament Mtg. & taught the youth during the 3rd hour. It was a little distracting giving our talks because the missionary was translating into the headphones to Portuguese. I had to try to block him out & keep my focus.
When we taught the youth, there were only 3 young women & 1 young man. One girl had to leave at the beginning & the boy had to leave for about 1/2 the time. The only leader that was there is from Alaska & is Bishop Wilde's grandson from Willow Ward. What a small world.
We talked to the youth about how our parents made the decision to get married in the temple & how many lives have been affected by that decision. We added up how many they have of their posterity & multiplied that number by 6 generations. There will be millions affected by their decisions. Then we told the kids that if they continue to make right choices & get married in the temple then they will be able to affect millions of lives also. It's amazing how many people we each have the power to affect.
We love our parents so much & are grateful for all they have done for us. We are thankful for their wonderful examples.
