This thursday we are going to the Nauvoo temple with a family we helped prepare to get there. They are going to get their endownments and be sealed together along with their little 5 year old daughter, so I'm excited for that. It's amazing to see these kind of things happen, watching the change in people. We also have been teaching a recent convert the new member lessons. The husband had been inactive for a while and his wife was the one we baptized the first week I was here. They had a still born son and the missionaries here went to the funeral so she is now baptized and he is getting ordained a Priest this Sunday. We go over and teach/fellowship with them at least once or twice a week now. He goes tracting with us and is now doing his own missionary work. With their son's death, they have come to realize what they really need to be doing with their lives. The Husband even said that they had planned to come to church after the Baby was born but they were not sure that they would have because of all the stress of having a new baby. It's sad that it took the death of their child to get them to come to church but the Lord saw what they needed and what they could bear and showed them the way back. Now they are both more happy then they ever could be. They both have a glow about them and we see that they can't wait to go to church every Sunday. His mom had been excomunicated and we are teaching her until she feels like she has repented enough to be re-baptized. Its great seeing the whole family come back to church. Well, I need to get going. Love you all and have a great day! Elder Tayrien
