Short this week. But incredible experiences.
- Grandma & Grandpa
- Thanks for the updates! I read parts of your letters sometime to my companions or other sisters. You are more often than not answers to prayer. For me and others. :)
- Chelsea
- Thanks for the DARLING Solvang card! It's all the rage with the Scandinavian sisters here. THANK YOU!!!!
- Margaret
- LOVED the concord! Sounds like you're having an amazing time on your vacation!!! Thank you for being one of the most compassionate friends in the world!
- Bobbi
- Thank you for the sweet updates!!! CYLO? California Youth Leadership Organization.....I am so anxious to jump right in January! Wow! Exciting changes. And congrats on your special award!! YOU deserve it!! I couldn't think of a more sincere person dedicated to serving others. THANK YOU for your example!
- Sealings! Not the roof.
- We passed a family taking pictures outside the temple. They had a teenager and a younger daughter. From the looks of it, they had just been sealed in the temple as a family. Not Ziploc. But kind of. A sealing is a binding of a family of families for time and all eternity--so beyond death. Here is a picture of the sealing room in Denmark. I almost relish in seeing moments like these at Temple Square over seeing all the new brides.
- Met Wilson Ong and his family on the square. He's an artist with some pieces at the Conference Center. Pretty incredible opportunity. "So, what were you thinking Brother Ong when you painted this?" Pretty amazing. (you can google him)
- I taught Sister Moisio: "Well, I'll be a monkey's uncle!" this week. We've had a lot of fun using it. :)
- We met President Packer this week briefly. It was pretty incredible. He briefly came to look at the Temple model. SO VIP. We closed off the visitors center. 5 companionships. He was only there for about 20 minutes. He invited us to say hello, so we all walked over, shook his hand, said our name and where we were from.
Funny thing: I've been teaching Sister Moisio some funny English catch phrases lately. ie: "whoopsie daisy", "she threw her under the bus", etc...
--Sister Moisio: I'm Sister Moisio from Finland.
--President Packer: Are you lonesome for it?
--Sister Moisio: I think so....? - Also... we found Elder Hinkley of the 70 in the South Visitor's Center looking for Hungarians this week.
Amidst all the fame this week, they were all SO HUMBLE. Christ centered. Meek. Sincere. Precious (says Sister Moisio). I am grateful for a loving Heavenly Father who let me meet so many humble people with strong character. It makes me think of all the people I respect back home and in Denmark. THANK YOU ALL FOR being such wonderful examples to me!
Love you all. Just another crazy and exciting week at Temple Square. It's all true. Please be patient and loving. Too many people, even if they know better, aren't. We need builders, not destroyers!
Thank you!!!
Love you!
Sister Amy
