Our farewell Sacrament Meeting

March 26, 2014.

Sunday, March 23, we spoke in Sacrament Meeting.  I spoke about why I was serving a mission.  I spoke about how I have felt the hand of the Lord in my life and I know that he loved me because of His guidance throughout my life.  Because He loves me, I want to serve Him and one way to do that is to serve His children in the Philippines.  Norman also spoke how the Lord orchestrates our lives to accomplish His purposes.  We received many tender mercies from the Lord over the past couple of years that have enabled us to be able to go on this mission.  Things like being able to buy our home in American Fork so that we had a place we could afford to live in after we retired and being able to have Linda's family move into our home until after we return home.

We are excited now to be on our way to the final steps of getting to the Philippines.
