Kieren called a few times and it is fun to hear her progress and plans. Including great news on grad school.
Gavin and Ty being together has been such a fun thought. I hope you we working hard and bringing the spirit with you wherever you go.
I had a wonderful Friday at home off from work. We did so many nice things to just be together. Of course I did odd jobs, mowed the lawn, put things away etc. but we also went to BD's with my birthday coupon and then to Greaters with my birthday coupon. So nice! I love your mom!
Saturday morning was nice also hanging around as long as I could. Then off I went to China where I am now. I ended up being in a flight with another Emerson person who is here for a while, then off the Philippines. I let my mind wander to times when Ty will be there.
As I studied conf talks for my Sunday (time changes made me essentially miss all of Sunday) I found some great things. I especially appreciated the talk on the temple and the power of godliness.
"These powers become available personally to each one of us through the ordinances and the covenants of the temple."
John the revelator also saw this time and what we do. As quoted in the talk:
"In the book of Revelation we read:
“What are these which are arrayed in white robes? and whence came they?
“… These are they which came out of great tribulation, and have washed their robes, and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
“Therefore are they before the throne of God, and serve him day and night in his temple: and he that sitteth on the throne shall dwell among them.”
Mom and I dream of the day when we will have 12 of us together in the temple. Sealed and bound for time and all eternity together. To enjoy the sweet communion that comes as a family thought eternity. The blessings and promises and covenants of the temple and the priesthood power there are worth any sacrifice to qualify ourselves to get there.
Love you all forever.
Dad
