Great Moments!

Some of the greatest times in our lives are in ways we least expect.  Yesterday I thought the day would go a certain way with my missionary talking in church for his farewell talk. It went something like this...Mike's experience. First off he invited as many non members as he could think of.  With family and friends the chapel was filled to the back and chairs from classrooms had to be brought in.  Five minutes into his talk by starting out of Christs light the rumblings up on the stand were evident as stake pres. and bishop left then came back which then our councilor stood up and announced we would evacuate the building due to fire.  We stood out in the snow to find out shortly after church was called off.  Arriving home I literally shuffled through the crowd of kids.  We had about 130 people of his friends, and family on the main floor.  Mike and his three friends sang a song and the Spirit was so thick.  Turns out the church didn't burn down...it was just a belt in the furnace causing smoke- needed replaced or something. All is good and the Lord works in mysterious ways....the Spirit of God "like a fire is burning!!!" Ha HA 

Our home was filled with laughter and the joy from the Spirit of God as we spent the day together.  Last night after all the crowds left and it was just our family we gathered and read the scriptures, preach my gospel (like we do every Sunday night. Then Mike gave his talk to us.  It was a very sweet moment in our home, one I will hold dear. Then we prayed thanking the Lord for such a wonderful day!
