A trio of Blessings

 Hello Everyone, 

This has been a great week. So much has happened and we have seen many blessings. I hope I can to y'all about all the blessings.  

The most surprising blessings was when we got a call from our Mission President Wednesday morning. He told us that we are getting a new companion! So we had the APs drop off Elder Neal the next day. I'm glad to have Elder Neal join our companionship, and I know we will work hard. 

This week we had the blessing of going to the temple with our friend Diane. It was her first time to the temple, and it was a spiritual uplifting experience for us all. She was able to take her parents names to the Temple for Baptism & confirmation. It was great being back in the water. It has been a while since I have been able to do Baptisms in the temple. Diane was brought to the point of tears because of the joy she felt as her parents were baptized. 

It was also wonderful because Elder Nehorai brought the name that surprised us. I baptized Elder Nehorai for and in behalf of Hyrum Smith. Everyone there was surprised to hear Hyrum Smith.  

In other news we had Amy's Baptism, and it was wonderful. Diane started to share her testimony to Amy and everyone else about her experience in the temple. I loved seeing the ward be there for Amy as they have been for Diane. It was filled with the spirit, and many tears were shed. Amy was able to to share her testimony and when she did she pointed out she and Diane have has similar journey joining the church and how the Gospel has blesses her. She has felt a weight lifted from her, and that is because of the Covenant that she made with God.  

I am grateful for the Covenants that bless our lives, and the live of thise that make Covenants. God has gifts for us all He asks is that we follow His son Jesus Christ. As we do so I know that we receive the Gifts that await us on the Covenant Path. I say these things in the name of Jesus Christ Amen.
