AMAZING WEEK for sure!

This has been an amazing week -- and because its getting late and I still need to read my scriptures and do some study - I will take time to post it as soon as I can.  I am still in the catch up phase since December anyway.

We had departing and arriving missionaries
transfer week - with three days of meals for missionaries
baptisms
service opportunties
a discussion with the Elders --- my referral
then zone leader training on Friday
temple - ordinance work on Saturday
Sunday was a busy day

My sister Shauna has been doing some amazing family search and has hundreds of ancestor names to take to the temple.   She sends me more when I need them.  This week was an great week for some of these names.  The departing missionaries each took a name for their temple trip on Wednesday (10 names) and Saturday we completed five endowments and 15 sealings.  I can't even begin to describe the spiritual feelings as the work was done for our ancestors.  The windows of heaven were open and I reaped the blessings of their joy and happiness -- something that they have waited along time for. They dated clear back to the 1600's.
