Week of May 3rd

Happy Birthday Janey (2)
We went to a mall in Färsta because Syster Evensen needed some new spring clothes to travel with the Temple Presidency. We looked at several stores and did not find anything she liked. THEN we hit a jackpot and she got three skirts, four tops and Chuck even bought me two tops! It was a very nice mall and we only went through 1/3 of it.
We went for a walk in the woods, again! And I just could not get over the beauty of the wild flowers. It seems to change each time we go.
There were so many flowers, and all white ones, that it really looked like snow. We just sat on a log and enjoyed the view.
We had an 81 Year Old couple come to the temple for the first time and then were sealed the next day. They were so cute and so excited to be here. We also had two newly called missionaries come.
On Saturday we were very busy at the temple and many young people in the baptistry. We were washing clothes and towels for many hours but did get home around 14.20. I love to see the young people come and enjoy the blessings of the temple.
Our ward had a temple night and it was very well attended. We are scheduled for two this month. The night rotates so once in a while we have two temple assignments in a month.
We had our quarterly interview with the Temple President. It is always a neat experience to meet with him and talk about our mission.
We are thinking about extending our mission for a month and a half. Zach and Ginet are coming to see us and do a little traveling and it is better for them if their kids are out of school. We will see what happens!
We had an Elder and Sister Hermann from Centerville, UT come to the temple. They are assigned as Church History Missionaries out of Germany. We had them come to dinner and discovered several people that we both knew.
We also had a cute couple from St. Petersburg, Russia here for the week. They are very humble and spiritual people. They were so appreciative of the opportunity to come to the Lord’s House.
Thanks for the many emails, cards and opportunity to Skype for Mother’s Day. I am grateful to be loved by my family and many wonderful friends. My family sent me an awesome video with pictures, sayings and a beautiful song. It was so cute I cried. Oh how blessed I am!

Sorry this update is late in coming. We have been on a neat two day trip which I will share with you next week! Have a good week and know you are loved and prayed for. Thanks for all your prayers and support. Hej då!
