I was excited over the announcements of the 5 new temples...but, I have to admit...the ROME ITALY temple tickled all of us who were watching conference in our home...and the Kansas City temple...so close to the property we wanted to buy...(l hour) It was 4 1/2 hours to St. Louis...otherwise...
I truly believe in President Monson's opening remarks...were inspired as well..."I can assure you that those men and women who will speak to you have prayed about what they should say. They have been inspired and impressed as they have sought heaven's help and direction"...I believe with all my heart...that truly did come to pass...
Like Sandee said...in her comments earlier...I felt MORE CONFIDENCE flow through every ounce of my being...I felt STRENGTHENED...and the spirit of COURAGE...seem to take heart...
In this talk...President Monson asked us to PRAY to open up areas where the gospel is NOT being taught...or is limited....So...on each of our LISTS to DO....Add...PRAY for the gospel to enter in those situations in the world that our missionary work can go FORWARD...He said they saw MIRACLES unfold...when they did this under President Kimball...if we pray IN FAITH...
Our missionaries are going to try and impliment...tying a piece of YARN around our wrists to remind us...to do SOMETHING in the form is missionary work...I look forward to getting a piece of yarn...(smile) (may ask for 2 or 3....pieces...) (smile)

One of my absolutely FAVORITE quotes by the Prophet Joseph Smith regarding missionary work...
ReplyDelete“Our missionaries are going forth to different nations, and in Germany, Palestine, New Holland, Australia, the East Indies, and other places, the Standard of Truth has been erected; no unhallowed hand can stop the work from progressing; persecutions may rage, mobs may combine, armies may assemble, calumny may defame, but the truth of God will go forth boldly, nobly, and independent, till it has penetrated every continent, visited every clime, swept every country, and sounded in every ear, till the purposes of God shall be accomplished and the Great Jehovah shall say the work is done” (History of the Church, 4:540).
I love the way our missionaries learn to love, love, love the people they serve. You should have seen Kaitlyn's husband Michael doing the happy dance at the announcement of the temple in Rome (he served his mission in Italy) he couldn't move fast enough to phone and text all of his mission buddies so they could celebrate together!!
