We have had a busy but wonderful two weeks. Ben came and worked so hard to improve the kitchen without being asked he set about with finding materials in the garage to finish the cabinetry to cover the pipe from the big stove vent. I was amazed at the great job he did. We had our first day in the temple and immediately headed up to Cooper's baptism. Sorry I didn't get a picture of it. Perhaps Jeanne got pictures.
We stopped by way of the Greenhorn Guest Ranch and spent the night. I got a couple great new recipes for desserts while at Jeannes. We will try them at Thanksgiving. We got home and have been working a bit with our wonderful missionaries. We are so glad to have them here as we are ward missionaries and can't keep up with all the follow up visits. While in the Celestial room of the temple, by myself waiting to help people who came through the veil, I opened the Doctrine and Covenants section 3 and my eyes rested one these verses: Lift up your heart and rejoice, for the hour of your mission is come; and your tongue shall be loosed, and you shall declare glad tidings of great joy unto this generation. You shall declare the things which have been revealed to my servant, Joseph Smith, Jun. You shall begin to preach from this time forth, yea, to reap in the field which is white already to be burned. It made me happy since most of the family has expressed the thought that we should serve a mission. Perhaps you can be called by the Lord and not by the leaders. We also get to work in the temple, work on our financial portfolio, and be there when our children need us.
We are so glad we are not that far away and have been making lots of plans for Thanksgiving. We can't wait to see so many of you and will certainly miss Marae and Ben, Kirsten & Mussie's family, and Jeanne and the girls. I'm sure they will have a nice time. We're glad jon & Rachel, Liz and Ryan and Bret & Micheline will be here.
We did have a baptism last week. We found him and the elders taught him. We give new member lessons to him and his wife who is already a member.
This weekend we attended a Rich Dad educational seminar in Reno. It was very informative and showed us how to prosper from the down market.I never cared to have money but know it is necessary for the future plans. We stayed with the Faveros and David and Larisa got to see the production Nick and Bella and Juliet were in. The King and I. I got to take care of the 3 Little ones so Larisa could go. She isn't allowed to get a baby sitter for them besides myself or Nick. Carson City is rated very high for the arts. People come from Northern California to see the performances.
