Missionary Work

Yesterday we had the chance to hear our friend speak at her homecoming. She talked about how important it is for us as members of the church to do missionary work. While leaving church yesterday R had said to me that he wanted to ask his dad why he didn't go to church anymore. I had told him that I thought it was a good idea. I'm very interested to hear what my father-in-law will tell my husband, but I hope that it won't be such a sensitive subject that it will hurt their relationship. It got me thinking about my family and how none of them are members of the church. My dad has expressed that we don't try to convert or talk about the church to him. He has also asked that I don't do temple work for any of his family. This has really put me in a hard spot. I know that I should be doing family history work, but should I respect my dads wishes? R is really big into doing family history work, but his family has done most of it for him and I know that he is very interested in my family history, but we don't know if we should do it or just wait. I'm very grateful for the Thompson family who "home teach" my parents. They are really good about going over and visiting with them just to make sure that things are going well for them. Some day I hope that I will get all the temple work done for my family so that we can all be sealed together.

A Thought Blog

Recently, I have seen several blogs with  peoples thoughts and I love reading them. They are so wonderful! I sometimes have a hard time writing down my thoughts and then when I don't they go away. It frustrates me especially when the thought was really good, so I've decided to start my own thought blog. It is simply a way for me to get everything thing that my heart is feeling and my mind is thinking on to paper. I hope that in writing down my thoughts that it will do something for someone else...inspire someone, help someone, or just lift up their day. 

Enjoy!
