I hope they call me on a mission :)

This week Myself and Anthony went on our stake temple visit to the Preston England temple. Audrey, John and their girls, Rebecca & Addison were on this visit too. Lee also came with us. It was his and Addison's first time to see the temple. I am so happy that we were there to experience that with them :) Anthony was very happy to be at the temple. This was his 2nd time. His first time in April for our sealing. He was excited that he would see new areas of the temple. Patrick gave us some family work to bring and this made the experience that little more meaningful. During our week the youth with us had 6 different baptismal sessions. This was more than I could have hoped for in the one week. There was a nice spirit as the youth got to know each other a little better or for the first time in some cases. It was amazing to me to see their testimony's growing in front of my eyes. My testimony was bursting out when the following fast Sunday came. Once I had borne my testimony, Anthony whispered to me that he would like to go and share his but that he was very nervous. So I walked to the stand with him. He stood Silently, too scared to speak. His special testimony screamed louder to all in the room, though he didn't open his mouth. A true sign that he had gained alot from his time at the temple.

It was such a memorable week in and out of the temple. Not only because I taught Rebecca to play chess :) Not only because all the children got along together so well. They had dsi tournaments and chess championships and they even went bowling and to see a local football stadium. For not only lots more reasons, but because we had a tour of the M.T.C mission training centre. The boys really enjoyed this. Its kinda scary how fast time goes by and how soon it could, hopefully be there time to head to the m.t.c for real. Anthony and lee both received the priesthood last month and we are all so very very proud of them. They will (one day) make two very good strong elders. For now though I will continue my mission here in Ireland raising our family to be the best we can be and to help each other along that straight and narrow path :)
