It's a quiet Sunday here. I am going solo for a week. Nick left yesterday morning with Katie and Lydia to Idaho Falls. They will packing up the rest of our belongings, as well as Katie and John's, and bringing them home. Finally!
I will keep myself busy with work and getting my cards for card swap done. I also hope to work some on Mackenzie's quilt. I know it is my trademark to procrastinate, but I figured that I will have it done in time for the winter.
Today in Sacrament Meeting the Minneapolis Temple president and his wife spoke, along with our stake president. The topic was Family and living worthy to attend the temple to bind our families forever. I know it is an old topic, but I heard new thoughts or thoughts that are not so new but that I just needed to hear again. The stake president reminded us of one of the talks giving last week in stake conference on prespective. He said that in living worthy to return to our Father in Heaven we need to have a relationship with our Heavenly Father and Christ. We need to put into prespective our daily schedules that allows us to give our time in our relationship with Heavenly Father and Christ. We need to set aside the time to pray sincerely, study our scriptures, and give service daily. I am grateful for this reminder. I know that I need to strive to do better at this as I know that if I am doing these few things that I will be able to accomplish much more in my other routine things.

As we help prepare 4 families to visit the Johannesburg Temple for the first time, I am reminded of how lucky we are to have so many temples relatively close. These saints have to get passports, visas, yellow fever shots and take a week off of work to go. There is a fund to help defray the cost of the 4 hour flight and housing once they get there but for almost all of them this is literally a once in a lifetime event (if they are lucky). We have to schedule it 8 months in advance too. Hope you are able to enjoy your temple fairly often. I don't remember how far it is from where you now live? We love you and pray for you and your family every night.
