The days and weeks are flying by. We are so busy that Sunday comes around and I can't believe another whole week has flown by and I haven't done anything with my blog. I must repent, and do better. Our Easter program is tonight. We have been working ever since we got here (well really most had been working a while before we came) Anyway we have a wonderful director, Elder Moffett, who has picked out such great music it has really been fun practicing with such a talented man. There are so many talented people out here. It's rather intimidating. I feel so lacking in talents, but I just keep plugging along and hope my meagre talents can make a worthwhile contribution.

I mentioned earlier that we would have our Relief Society birthday in the Red Brick Store. What an experience that was!!! The spirit was so strong that most of us were fighting tears most of the evening. We did the program twice so all of the sister missionaries (mission and temple) could attend. By the second performance we were all feeling overwhelmed by what we were experiencing. It was definitely a never to be forgotten event.

What a joy it is to serve in the various sites. The spirit we feel as we talk about those faithful saints and the sacrifices they made fills me with gratitude to my heavenly father and to them. I sometimes feel that the prophet Joseph Smith must just be in the next block or in the next house. His presence is so strong here.

I recently served in the Brigham Young Home with a very dear friend Sister Patricia Jones. She and her husband are on their 3rd mission and they are really spiritual giants I am so grateful to have their friendship.
