Salt Lake Temple
Square Mission
March 16, 2014
It is already the middle of March and spring is upon
us. I still struggled physically this
week, but am on the road to recovery.
The flowers on Temple Square are out in abundance and it is delightful
to walk around the grounds and admire the beauty. In only a couple of weeks it will be General
Conference and we have the privilege of listening to our leaders and greeting
thousands of people visiting the Square.
This week personally I was taken aback by the love the
sisters extended to me while I was ill.
Their love and concern for my health was overwhelming. I received teas, cookies, chocolate, cards
and gifts from these lovely sisters. Their
example to me has made me want to emulate them in word and deed. Because of the outpouring of love from them,
I’ve had to write many thank you cards.
We love being eternal companions and serving the Lord |
Taggart for part of the week was still a lone man teaching
and greeting. His leadership is greatly
appreciated as he heads our Senior Couple Group Meetings. He certainly is on top of things and his
organizational skills will serve us well as we head into summer and the
hospitality tours. We love being
companions and serving the Lord.
Sister Frost's English Class |
The English classes are still going strong although it
appears there may be some changes. I
have two more weeks before I say goodbye to my sweet class. Each week as I teach them, I am struck by their
humility and total trust in the Lord.
Language is such an obstacle to them, yet is doesn’t stop them from
going forth and being the best they can be.
I will miss these intimate and special moments with them as changes take
place.
The Sisters love Sister Frost |
A good friend - Peter Robinson |
We had an unexpected surprise when Taggart’s friend and
colleague, Pete Robinson, came to the Square.
I know for Taggart it was fun getting caught up with all the changes at
UVU and hearing from his friend about colleagues and associations. Hopefully they can always stay in touch
because they have very similar personalities and interests.
With me back on the Square again we have hopes of going
through the many names we have on our call list. Because the call center is having challenges,
phones haven’t been working properly.
So, we have been stopped in our tracks in calling these
individuals. Some of these people may be
waiting for the gospel to be taught to them!
Taggart did have discussions with Junior and Diane. Again, unfortunately, they are not
progressing.
