Interim few days...

We took advantage of the opportunity to spend a few days at home after our last class on Friday, but did not realize that there were reasons for us being here (other than spending a few more days with our boys and home). We did get a few good things done that needed to be done (e.g. Shauna did not get the kitchen swept before we left. Now that is done. - That was not a priority for me :-).

Anyway, we found out that a sister in the ward that Shauna and I have worked with for a few months, she as RS Pres and me as WML, was to get baptized this afternoon. We had the wonderful opportunity to attend her baptism and I was asked to be the voice in confirming her tomorrow. I see that as a "tender Mercy."

Also unexpected was our daughter-in-law needing to go to the hospital because of complications with her pregnancy. She is OK and the baby is fine, in general, as far as we have heard, but after having been in the hospital most of the day (tests, dilation, etc), she will likely be delivering the baby within the next two weeks (way early). We were needed to stay at their home to take care of the other children while they were in the hospital. She and the baby are in our prayers. We got to spend some precious time with our granddaughters that we would not have otherwise. I hope I have not said too much. They will let you know about things when they are able. The Lord will bless them and all of our family, though I suppose that we will still have some tough times. We were promised that the Lord would bless our family while we served our mission.

Now we are off to the temple for a session. Tomorrow we can attend the family get-to-gether (also not in our original plans).

We will probably surprise a few people at church as well...
