Utah Salt Lake
Temple Square Mission
April 27, 2014
This week was not as busy as last and we enjoyed the freedom
of visiting with guests on the Square.
There was a very large convention that came to Salt Lake City and we
were able to talk with many of the people attending that event. We also found that our numbers at the organ
recital have increased dramatically. This
is just a preview of what will be happening during the summer months.

| Beautiful Flowers |
Temple Square is ablaze with so many beautiful flowers. I have mentioned it so often, but we are
amazed by the beauty as we walk here and there.
There are so many people taking pictures that sometimes they block
sidewalks and hold up foot traffic. One
of our keenest memories will always be the breathtaking flowers that you find
here.

| Elder Christofferson and other Brethren |
There was a very special “Music and the Spoken Word” this
week. Two guest conductors were able to
lead the choir in some of their own compositions and the music was
spectacular. It was also a sad time
because twenty-nine choir members were retiring including our favorite choir
member, Joanne Vohres. President Monson
was present to wish them well and it was a thrill to be in his presence. Also, Elder Christofferson sat just two rows
ahead of us as we watched the broadcast.
When will we ever again be able to be amongst general authorities of the
Church.
We are still teaching Diane and her heart is softening. She loves our calls and says it is the
highlight of her week to hear from us.
However, she is still hung up particularly on the Word of Wisdom and
will not give up her coffee. She tells
us she is a member without being baptized.
Somehow the spirit needs to testify to her and change her mindset and
ways. We talked to her about faith this
week, faith to believe and faith to change.
One of the guest organists for the organ recital, Sister
Weller, played on Sunday of this week.
She is the sweet sister who reached out to us at Christmas time when it
was her turn to play at the recital. We
got to talk to her and thank her for her demonstration of love to us with gifts
and letters. We look forward to seeing
her again in the fall before we leave our mission.
