Dear
one and all (or, three, as the case may be)
The trouble with phone
calls is that most people don't really seem to want to talk all that much. And
a lot of answering machines. Sometimes I think I might as well just recite a
scripture every time I leave a voicemail, at least they might listen to it and
be blessed.
I discovered something
cool today-family search, in light of 200 years of the restoration and Saints
volume 2, has included a function where you can see the temples in which your
ancestors were endowed and sealed. It was while looking at this, along with my
pedigree chart, that I realized that both of my grandfathers were converts to
the church...something I am sure I knew, but had forgotten.
I am interspersing my
scripture study by reading some of the books in our apartment library. My first
selection was a gospel look at near-death experiences...it is fascinating,
although of course teaches nothing not already alluded to in our standard
works.
We have begun our fast
for the world in this troubled time. Hopefully every time my stomach grumbles
it will cure some lucky soul.
Have faith and be
believing!
Elder DeFord
