Rain interfered with the Swap Meet--it was held at the church building across from my apartment, but that prevented my going, which is just as well. I doubt I needed anything more for my last not-quite-three weeks here.
The shed was open when I returned from the morning temple session, so I was able to take almost all the things from my apartment that I had already sorted out. A couple of larger items did not make it, since I wanted to get to the Library to work on the Eppingen records.
After a few hours work, a researcher I have seen regularly at the Library gave me a suggestion which I decided to follow. That will enable me to work on these records when I return to Missouri. I told him he was an angel today for me! He was definitely in the right place at the right time.
Last night I slept quite well--in fact I sort of slept in. The good thing about that was that I stayed awake during the morning temple session. I also had the blessing of something coming to my remembrance which will help me in my conversation with my former classmate tomorrow.
When I was being taught the Restored Gospel, there were three concepts which are in the Bible that I had never noticed, even though I had read the entire Bible when I was 13. I have been able to remember two of these things: that it was Jesus Christ, not God the Father, who "made the worlds" [Hebrews 1:2]; and baptism for the dead [1 Corinthians 15:29]. The third I have not been able to remember for many months.
This morning as I was in the session, I remembered! Christ went and preached to the spirits in prison while His body was in the tomb! [1 Peter 3:18-19]. I am so very happy to have this brought to my attention, and just in time to share.
This afternoon I picked up a local sister to take to the temple. I was able to do one of the names for her, since I could not quickly find one of my own. That was a small service I could do for her.
When we left the temple, it was raining again. I was glad I had been prompted to park in the parking under the Conference Center, because there was also snow mixed in with that rain. I guess winter is not quite over out here.
I was very glad to talk with my Sweetheart in the morning as well as the evening. He reminded me this evening that this will be our last Fast Sunday as single persons!
I also talked with my youngest daughter for a bit today. And now I am ready to head for bed, and prepare for the Sabbath.
