Today was a birthday and an anniversary in my Tucson family--and tomorrow it will be the 14th anniversary of my getting sealed to my parents. All of my immediate family were with me that day--a good memory!
A mystery was solved for me today. In the Elijah Choir there is a sister who seemed very familiar to me, but I could not figure out if I really knew her from somewhere else. While waiting for the devotional to begin the sister next to me asked me where my Sweetheart was from. When I told her we were both from Missouri, she said, "Oh, Sister B. is from Missouri, too!" When the devotional finished I approached Sister B., and sure enough, she had been trying to remember where she had seen me before! We had worked together in the St. Louis Temple before the Kansas City Temple was dedicated. Now she lives out here, and works two days a week in the Library, and on Saturday in the Salt Lake Temple.
Sometime during the night I realized that I could use the German indexing to share with my study group for practicing script--and this would actually be not just busy-work but something productive. I talked with two sisters at the Devotional about that, and they both were enthusiastic. This afternoon and evening I worked through some preliminary items in several batches, so they should be ready to go in the morning.
I got to talk with my Sweetheart twice today, morning and evening. That is so nice to do. I am grateful for electronic devices which keep us connected.
My home and visiting teachers came this evening. I sure enjoyed their company, and the message they brought was very comforting--do not worry too much about family members who seem to be unlikely to improve their lives here and in the eternities. Just keep yourself on the path to eternal life and the celestial kingdom, and your eternal family will be wonderful beyond anything we can imagine.
I had a difficult time falling asleep last night so a lot of today I played catch-up on sleep. I think I will have no trouble sleeping tonight.
