What a perfectly lovely Sunday.  It was beautiful, warm and sunny.  Sacrament was very special as we heard talks from the former stake president and his wife who will be serving as President and Sister Jensen of the Des Moines, Iowa mission.  They have been in training here with President Holm and have had a few meetings in the office with the staff.  In Sister Jensen's talk today she stated that the test in mortality is obedience and faith.  How true that is.  One of the things we hear about a lot as missionaries is obedience.  Obedience in keeping our covenants, keeping the commandments and adhering to the rules set forth for us as missionaries...both senior and junior.
Tonight we were able to have dinner with 4 of our local missionaries.  It was tricky here in the 5th wheel.  Usually we only have 2 at a time, but I got brave and invited all 4 of them.  It was perfect.  They cleaned up everything!  I never fail to be amazed at their appetites, but when you spend lots of time on bikes, you burn off lots of calories.

These were our dinner guests, Elder Korth, Elder Hawkes, Elder Brannan and Elder Olsen.  Elder Olsen won the prize and took home all the leftover mac and cheese!!
