Temple Open House Is Cool!

Hi everyone! I’m back again. I hope you all are doing well. My assignments have all started. Last week it was just a few but now that the Open House for the Red Cliffs Temple has started, I now can say that I’m working full time! Anywho, I’ll get started! 


Red Cliffs Temple Open House! 
It’s so cool! The temple is absolutely beautiful! The grounds are gorgeous and truly fits in to the Southern Utah Landscape. Red rocks and there’s also some of the native flowers in the stained glass windows! Some of the best I’ve ever seen! I’ve basically been helping with wheelchairs when there were no people that needed them. 


Red Tailed Hawks! 
Here’s a little story. So when I showed up the other day, I was told a story. Apparently when they were working on the foundation work, they had some native Navajo people working, and some Red Tailed Hawks flew overhead. They stopped where they were and stared in wonder to the confusion of everyone else. When asked what’s up they answered that if those hawks lived there, it means that this place is holy ground! Coincidence? I think not! 


Deseret Industries Shenanigans! 
So, since I’m home with my family, you get to hear about them! Me and my sister went to DI and she spent a lot of money on house stuff and Mom’s been into weird vases. I found a matching Articles of Faith to my Jesus the Christ books by James E. Talmage. For those who don’t know who he is, he’s a great gospel scholar and has great insights about the principles of the gospel. I was so excited and it was only a buck! 


So yeah, another short one but it’s better that way in my opinion. That way more of you will actually read it haha! Anyways, see you next time!

More At The Temple Open House!!

Hello everyone! I’m back again with another email. I’m sending this on time today! Woohoo!! This one’s going to be short but I think it is something I should share nevertheless.  Open House!  I’ve really enjoyed my time at the Red Cliffs Temple so far. I get to help these people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to walk around the temple at all. It makes me feel like I have an important job even though most of the time I just write numbers on a clipboard. I got to take a few people in myself and I love how they become silent in reverent wonder at the beauty of it all. It really tells me that the spirit is definitely there and I can feel it too!  Pushing Grandpa I helped Grandpa Reynolds in a wheelchair. I’m not a jerk I swear. XD That was a fun experience that I was able to look at it with my family. I’ve been through the tour a bunch of times but It’s different when you’re with your family. Even my little brothers were using inside voices! I didn’t know they knew what that ...

I Love Conference

Image
Hi! As I’m sure you know, General Conference was this weekend. I’ve been so excited about it and it certainly didn't disappoint. Everyone did an excellent job and the spirit was present. I loved them all. I really need to look back and study them again. I forgot who did what ones but there was a couple I really liked in the Saturday sessions about being peacemakers. How despite the world around us we can still show the love of god. Actually, I think one of them was from Elder Oaks. He did fantastic.  I also loved that Brad Wilcox spoke this afternoon. He is one of my favorite speakers. He also did one of the most listened to BYU devotionals ‘his grace is sufficient’. It’s so good and so was the talk he did today. I love how he said you can’t be a lifeguard if you look like all the other swimmers. Inspiring.  I’d like to share a little tender mercy that was a couple of weeks ago. I was going to the temple with my district in the St George temple. We were doing an endowment ...

Hi Again Everyone!

I am back at it again this week! With yet another email. I know it’s late, but I almost forgot and I was saved by Mom threatening to beat me with a wet noodle. So I didn’t forget and as I’m writing this I’m keeping an eye on all the pasta. And Mom. She’s looking at me very ominously across the table.  Zone Conference!  As I mentioned last week, I had Zone Conference! On Monday we met at basically in the same time and same place as District Council, but it was longer and with more people. I can now say I have officially met my new Mission president! President Staples and his wife are sweet. I got a picture with them.  Temple Trips! And no, not just to the Red Cliffs one. Me and my Companion Sister Amy did some Initiatories in the newly Re-dedicated St. George temple. They remodeled it like they had it originally in the pioneer days, and they used rich colors and beautiful curtains. I love it! After we did the ordinances a temple worker asked us if we’d like to see the sea...
