Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time in a land far far away,
there was a Prophet to guide and lead the way.
and every six months on a very special day,
They gathered all across the world to hear what he had to say!

This time is soon to come and listen to his voice
a Prophet of God, a man of Gods choice!
Much will be said and much will be heard
the best is what is felt in your heart which flutters like a bird.

We learn of Christ, his life and his teachings
but most important of all is how far his love is reaching.
To all lands and all people the words will be declared
so that Men, Woman and their families can be prepared.

So come and listen everyone
to the prophets voice, Gods speaking is not done.
There is More

General Conference there is a prophet on the earth today, God still speaks, the heavens are not closed.

White Jumpsuit

A while back Sister Winder and I were sick.. We had what i like to call the Black Death. So decided to be productive and get on facebook and look up some good articles to share. We The Devil is real good and knows just how to get us... Just as I was looking at these pictures there I see it.. Climbing. I know of all the things. I started thinking about how much I missed Climbing, and then I started thinking about how much i missed Backpacking and rafting and boating and all that stuff we can't do as missionaries. I started wishing that I was there, with Chalky hands ready to go.. But just then I clicked on a fellow Missionaries Facebook, and the first thing I saw was a small little family all dressed in white.

All those things I had previously felt I was missing out on seemed not that important. Yes I do Love climbing, and yes I do miss it but there is something so powerful in seeing God's children in those white jumpsuits with smiles on their faces. Nothing can compare.

These wonderful people are making a promise with god to follow Christ. They have Prayed and worked with god and are now starting to make their families last not only through this life but forever!

 I Feel like alma when he says:

9I know that which the Lord hath commanded me, and I glory in it. I do not glory of myself, but I glory in that which the Lord hath commanded me; yea, and this is my glory, that perhaps I may be an instrument in the hands of God to bring some soul to repentance; and this is my joy.

 10And behold, when I see many of my brethren truly penitent, and coming to the Lord their God, then is my soul filled with joy; then do I remember what the Lord has done for me, yea, even that he hath heard my prayer; yea, then do I remember his merciful arm which he extended towards me.

I love those white jumpsuits, and i pray for more pictures with wonderful sons and daughters coming to God and wearing those Jumpsuits!

I love these people so much and I know that Heavenly Father loves them! and they can feel that love and you can see the joy in their faces!

I would Give up all things, (including climbing) to help many come to know their savior more and to change their lives to follow him!

Holiness to the Lord, Kyiv Temple

One of the greatest blessing that we have in this world is that of Temples. Sacred buildings where the spirit of the lord resides. Their are One hundred and fifty seven temples in the world right now. In just under two hundred years the church has grown so much and the ability to be sealed to our families forever is becoming more and more accessible.

In Kyiv, Ukraine a temple has been built and dedicated. People come from all the world to see this marvelous event, where many from all over share their culture and excitement for the New Temple coming to their land.

For many years if people in Ukraine or any of the surrounding  countries wanted to go and partake in the blessing of the temple, they had to travel to far distant temples in Switzerland or England. Now they get the blessings of the temple in their home.

In this Video young people from many different countries gather together to share their culture and also to see the prophet come and dedicate the temple. Their Testimonies of the True Church are amazing. Truly they are pioneers in their countries, and they stand firm in what they believe.

Here is an awesome video of the inside

I know that this is where our families can be pieced together for eternity! These blessings are being made more available to all those around the world.
