To start, SNOW!!! To me, this is a little messed up and surprising; but apparently, this is normal here. That's not the largest piece of news though from this last week.
I got to participate in the Hartford Connecticut Temple Dedication and one of the recent converts we have been seeing got to be a part of it as well. There is something special about being a part of a Temple Dedication. I was blessed to be a part of the Gilbert Arizona Temple Open House, Cultural Celebration, and Dedication soon after I moved to Arizona. I have a firm testimony of Temples and Family History work. The Temple is the House of God and all the blessings we can have for the eternities are given in these holy homes. The Holy Ghost was a strong presence at this dedication and there was a peaceful feeling there, despite the technological difficulties we had.
What is funny however is that that was the day of my ten month mark (Nov. 20) and the day it started to snow. It goes to show that regardless of the weather, God's work will not be frustrated. I pray that all may be well with you all back home and that you all enjoy your Thanksgiving feasts!
