Be Done with Lesser Things....

So fun to FaceTime  with Tessa, Breann, Drew and Macy.  We loved the pictures you all and Brady, Logan and Clark made for us.  What great artists!!!  And we loved your sweet notes as well.  So glad you are working on your personal scripture reading….
 Here is a picture I did not draw, BUT I took it with my iphone just for you....

This is like the bus we ride

Just below the blue sky is the cemetery wall.  It's a walk after the bus ride....
.
Here are some more pictures to share with you from our bus/walking trip to the cemetery.





Thanks to people like Aunt Julie, all our work is to help someone.  This is what she said to us:  
“I am arbitrating images every night…So keep taking pics so indexing can be done for me to arbitrate! Full circle!  I’m enjoying/working on your labors!”  Julie

We enjoyed the choice of words (exercise, tools, buoyant peace, choose, decide) that 
Elder Richard G. Scott used in his October 2014 General Conference talk
 “Make the EXERCISE of Faith Your First Priority”

FOUR TOOLS:  Prayer, Scripture Study, Family Home Evening, Temple Attendance

He gave the promise of BUOYANT Peace...And quoted Sister Reeves' 3 powerful promises…AND  provided footnotes 6 and 9 with many powerful prophetic promises….READ THEM!!!

He said, “Don’t yield to Satan’s lie” (that you are too busy)   CHOOSE TO TAKE TIME/DECIDE

Also these choice words by Elder Allan F. Packer  “THE BOOK”
Don’t fight the change – EMBRACE IT!!  
Remember, “change is part of the great plan of happiness”!!

Hymn 324:  Rise up, O Saints of God!
[Be] done with lesser things.
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of Kings.


Busy week:  Besides our capturing work, we had District Meeting on Wednesday, a fun Relief Society activity with food and company with 12 hermanas in the Barrio de O’Higgins on Friday, a FamilySearch Fair at the Stake Center by the Barrio de Hontaneda with members and investigators on Saturday.  The High Priest presented in the chapel and all others in the cultural hall. 
Elders Quorum taught how to add pictures and stories to FamilySearch 

Young Men taught how to sign-up for FamilySearch

Young Women taught how to sign-up for indexing

Relief Society took pictures of how your ancestors looked

The Bishop and his family are in the big picture here.

Families had displays as well.

AND on Sunday Elder Webster baptized a happy young woman after the block of meetings.  
A great week!!  Many miracles!!!!
