It's been a full and busy week!
Our talk in the mission devotional on Monday
went well - and, we also enjoyed a great mission conference on Wednesday with
President Fenn and his wife. They are both excellent teachers.
President Fenn doesn't evoke the kind of warm,
fuzzies that President Tate did, but, we are warming up to him. :-) It will be
good. . .
Bob and I read a great article this
week. We must have been asleep / really not paying attention when this article
was published in the Ensign ten years ago. It's a wonderful article
about the symbolism of the Atonement in the parable of the Good Samaritan. (Makes
me wonder how many other things I've missed over the years!) I’ll include
the link to the pdf here: https://www.lds.org/ensign/2007/02/the-good-samaritan-forgotten-symbols?lang=eng
You only see the text with this link, but, if you download the pdf you can see all the
cathedral windows he references in the article.
We found out this week that one of our daughter's
will be having a (surprise) baby around Christmas-time. (She thought she was
done.) We're excited for Susy and her family and look forward to hearing about
this baby's arrival in December and to meeting him/her after our mission.
Last night we got to attend the Pioneer Day
Concert by the Mormon Tabernacle Choir and the Orchestra at Temple Square. Of
course, it was great! Christopher Jackson, who was in Hamilton on
Broadway, and, is now in a TV series, was supposed to be the guest star, but
there were some unexpected, last-minute scheduling conflicts and he had to
cancel. Instead, Alex Boyé took his place. He's very talented and
entertaining and we enjoyed his performance!
We look forward to other
pioneer-centered events, as well, in the next week or so.
