Our Time in Vanuatu

You know, some weeks are more challenging than others.  But thanks to some calls and pictures from the family, it brings a smile and a comfort to our hearts.  I am filled with peace when I see their faces.  I know Heavenly Father is watching over them.     I also find peace and comfort when I look at this beautiful sky.   Update on the pool:  It's getting there.  the water is still cloudy but it's blue, Yeah!  At least the bugs are enjoying it.  We will be gone this week to Sydney Australia.  I can't wait to report... May will be very busy and this past week was spent trying to figure out the transfers.  Benoit spends a lot of time and prayers on this process. I have seen again this week, that whatever problems arise Heavenly father has some counsels to give if we seek them. I read this quote in Come, Follow me this week: "I would like to make it clear that forgiveness of sins should not be confused with to

It was Conference Week:  General Conference and Zone Conferences I did something last weekend that I don't think I will do again (then again who knows).  I am always so excited for General Conference, that I woke up at 2:45am and 2:20 am last Sunday and Monday so I could listen to the first sessions live Saturday and Sunday.  What I did not think through is that we had to wake up at 4:00 am Tuesday morning to take a missionary couple to the airport and we woke up at 3:00 am Wednesday morning to catch a flight to New Caledonia.  I have been pretty tired this week.  I need to plan better than this.  I am not in my twenties no more. General Conference was wonderful and I have a few favorite teachings and I know I will discover some more as I read and study the talks again.  Here are a few: I could copy and paste all of Elder Renlund's talk "Abound with Blessings" but I will just mention this part: " If a desired blessing from God has not been rece
