My new great-granddaughter was blessed today. As her grandma said, she would have preferred to be there, but was glad she had been able to give practical help right when the baby was born.
After talking with both my oldest daughter and my Virginia granddaughter I was able to do a couple of batches of indexing.
I almost got to sit in the exact middle of the back row of the Tabernacle today. During the rehearsal some young elders were sitting there, so I sat to the North. Then they left and I moved to that middle spot. But a large group of people came in so I moved over to the South end. The music moved me to tears in several instances: Lead, Kindly Light, and Redeemer of Israel were particularly touching.
Today I spent quite a lot of time on the Young Elder Dinners. I was able to confirm that my replacement had accepted the assignment, and we arranged to meet in the late afternoon. The sister who was assigned before me was also able to meet with us. I am not as well organized, and I have only done this for two previous weeks, but I think we can make the transition fairly smooth.
I just finished up sending the emails to the people who signed up to host the dinners. We are feeding half of the elders next week, and already have hosts for more than the other half signed up for later in the month.
One sister who just arrived in the mission on Friday already signed up. I talked a bit with her, and she was concerned about having enough dishes. I was able to pass on some mugs, and a bowl I had picked up yesterday at the swap meet. She was glad to get them.
Although we did not get to talk this morning, my Sweetheart and I had a nice talk and prayer together tonight. He is a blessing in my life!
