Super Sunday April 14, 2013

This has been a very special and wonderful day for us.  It started of as usual for me this morning getting ready for my Sunday morning meetings and being at the Church at 7:30 for PEC meeting.

Iris readied herself and picked up the Mathews Sisters in our ward who need to be at the church by 8:30.  They don't have a car so we have made a practice of supplying transportation to them for the past few years.  They are always gracious and appreciative of the help.  It certainly is no bother for us.  Our sacrament meeting begins at 9:00 and to day was Fast Sunday due to General Conference last Sunday.  I felt the urge to bear my testimony today as did many others and it was a spiritual meeting which added to my faith in the gospel of the Savior and his mission here on earth.  Our Sunday School lesson was taught today by a young USU student who lives in our ward.  He did a great job as usual.  It is always impressive to me to see how well these young students do and how close they are to the Lord.  It is wonderful to see how devoted they are as the begin their young families and get their education.  This is also evident as we serve in the Temple where so many of these students come to worship and to renew covenants as well as do work for their dead.  They are so busy and yet they find time and make the effort to attend the Temple very often.  They seem at peace with themselves and with the Lord.  This is the impression we always get as we see them at the Temple.

It is a testimony to us of the blessings inherent in temple service.

 

Early in the afternoon we got a telephone call from Jason.  They wanted to know if they could come and visit and if we would be home later in the afternoon.  Of course, they are always welcome.  We love it when they come.  They are such a joy in our lives and always make us happy and laugh a lot.

We had a good visit and then decided to go visit some of the others who were available at a moment's notice.  We were able to catch Ryan and Sam and their sweet family at home, and then went out to Alison and Ammon's for a little while.  These visits brought sunshine into our day and made us glad that we have family and that we live close enough to some of them that we can enjoy a visit occasionally.

 

Below are a few pictures of the days activities.  It was a Super Sunday for us.  Thanks, to Jason and Rene for coming and sharing time with us and the others here in Cache Valley.

 

Megan and Tanner, super teenagers.  Are they good looking or what? 

 

Maddie B and Tanner.  Can you tell his sisters kind of like him?

Rene's kids are all growing up so fast, but you can tell she still has a spot in her life for the little ones.

Rene and little Neveah.  She is our youngest grandchild, #25.

Jason seems to have a soft spot for little ones as well.

Family socializing in the kitchen at Alison's house.

Avery played a trick on Uncle Jason and Jason is the good sport, as always.
