Keeping on.....

This week I am posting a little late.  To be honest I thought about my blog on Sunday afternoon but got busy reading and then had a meeting to attend and forgot until now.
The best thing about this week is that we won't be working Saturday.  Of course the temple is closed for General Conference.  I mentioned a meeting that we went to on Sunday.  It was the Annual Ordinance Workers devotional held at the stake center right across the street from us.  The temple presidency and their wives spoke as well as our temple recorder.  I really  was amazed and felt the spirit so strongly during the talks.  Each one spoke of different topics all relating to our service in the temple.  One of the comments made by Sister Bell was that we serve best when we are truly committed to keeping the covenants we have made with our Heavenly Father.  We were admonished by President Konekoa to not take our callings lightly.  Be obedient to the things that are required of us in serving in the temple.  Sister Pierce talked about how we can gain knowledge and understanding in those sacred moments that we have in the temple each time we serve.  The music in the devotional was outstanding.  The choir was made up for ordinance workers with only one practice before the meeting.  They did a wonderful job.  There was a duet also by the Kammerer's who sang "How Great Thou Art."  So moving!    I was so privileged to have been in the meeting that day.  What an uplifting end to a wonderful Sunday.

Our car has been fixed!  It only took three days so we thought that was great!  And the cost was not outrageous.  We had the mechanic replace other belts that may wear out as long as we were paying for labor anyway.

The weather has really moderated this week.  We have had quite a bit of rain but accompanied by some nice trade winds.  We have even slept without the air conditioner on for the last couple of nights.

We will be making a quick trip to Ogden this weekend to attend the wedding of my Nephew, Eric.  We will also be able to spend conference weekend there and have dinner with my children and grandchildren on Sunday.  Monday we will be returning to Hawaii to start another week at the temple.  We are down to only three more weeks with the current temple presidency so our schedules are mixed up quite a bit this month.  We will serve with each member  of the presidency for at least one week.  Glad we get this last little bit of time with them before we begin with the new presidency.
