It is Sunday

It is Sunday and time to reflect on the last week. My dad is home and has a 30-day window to see if he can heal. Thanks to my family and friends for fasting for my Dad today. We are grateful to be apart of this great church that teaches us to be grateful and thankful.

I taught the gospel doctrine class today. I never have been asked to teach that class. I was scared but it worked out all right. Brother Waddell was there from the Area Seventy and said I did a great job. I am glad it is over. 

Last Tuesday I had an interesting experience at the temple. Half way through the session the thought came to me I had not turned off the kitchen faucet. Then I started to think did I turn the faucet off? The thought left. When we returned home sure enough the faucet was on but had not overflowed to the floor. All the water was flowing to the pipes. Then I had this overwhelming feeling that my Heavenly Father loves me. It was such a funny little experience but then God wants his children to know he loves them.

I am enjoying the simple life. Not a lot of stuff to clutter up my life. I do the dishes in the sink, no dishwasher. Cooking is simple; Bob and I both feel great, in fact better than we have felt in a long time. No car to take care of, just call Jim or ride in a taxi or bus, or my favorite to walk. I love my magic jack phone, just plug it into my computer and I have my phone and I can talk to anyone in the United States. The cost is $99 for five years. There is a way to do it through Google for free. I signed up for Google voice and have a phone number. It is free and I understand you can receive Google text messages on your phone. I cannot figure out how to do that. If anyone knows how let me know.

Yesterday we were attending our assigned Spanish Ward and our Mission President showed up to tell us we were assigned to a different ward. We had been attending the wrong ward. He introduced us to the Bishop of the ward ww should be attending. This bishop was so glad to meet us. He has a number of investigators and members he wants involved in family history. He would like us to help get them to the temple to do baptisms and then to the temple to be sealed.


Bob has been teaching the 13/14 year old class in Jim's ward. It is funny how 13 and 14 year olds are the same everywhere, they give the teacher a run for their money. Bob has really enjoyed this but with our new assignment will not be able to do this. He had to say good-bye yesterday.
