Week 14: Temple Days

This week has been such a great week. We were able to go to the temple two times. The first one was just for us because we had our interviews with president there on Monday. Then we did a session. The second time we went with a recent convert who has not been to the temple yet so we went and took her to do baptisms. It was awesome to see the happiness that she had after being in the temple and then we talked about how happy the people in the spirit world must be now that some of their work has been completed. 

Oklahoma City Temple closed on Saturday for  a year and half so Kyle was lucky enough to go twice last week.

We went to breakfast with a non-member whose son is a member. Jim took us to breakfast at a hole in the wall restaurant that was next to a private airfield. You could see all the private jets lined up by our table. 

Breakfast with Jim.

It was a busy week and we did a lot of walking and knocking again but this time we found a new investigator. She is the girlfriend of a less active member who has come back to church recently. It all started with us inviting him to come play basketball with us on Saturday morning. The miracles of church ball!

It is getting soooooo cold here! It got down into the mid 50s when I woke up... hahaha

Love,

Elder McMinn

(I am sure that Kyle is in heaven!)

"Every time you turn your hearts to God in humble prayer, on your knees, at home, in church, in private places, you experience His light. Every time you see His word and will in the scriptures, in the Book of Mormon, in everything the Lord has given us, the light grows in brightness. Every time you notice someone in need and sacrifice your own comfort to reach out in love, the light expands and swells. Every time you reject temptation and choose purity, every time you seek or extend forgiveness, every time you courageously testify of truth--through deed and through words--the light chases away darkness and attracts others who are also seeking light and truth." - President Dieter Uchtdorf
