Festivals and Spirituality

Dear Friends and Family,

This has been a great week! We got to go to the Temple this week! I love the Temple! It's the closest thing to Heaven on Earth! It was wonderful to be in the House of the Lord again! 

So, last Monday's preparation day was shortened, because part of it was moved to the day we went to the Temple. Which was wonderful because we got to go somewhere that's closed on Mondays. We went site seeing at the Mordecai Home. And saw the other historical places on the property. It was a nice to do something different. 

There was a big Tri-Ward Festival, late for Cinco De Mayo. It was with 3 congregations of people, the two I work with, and a Spanish Ward. The Spanish Ward Made most of the food and there was dancing. It was a lot of fun. 

I've been working on doing the Bednar Book of Mormon Challenge. My whole Mission does it when we first come out. I'm still in 2 Nephi. What the challenge is; is you write your testimony at the beginning of the Book of Mormon before you read it, and then you read through the whole thing marking in different colors references to Jesus Christ, His words, His attributes, the doctrines and principles, missionary purposes reverses, and stories of calls to repentance, and other missionary related stories, and anything you may feel like adding. Then you write your testimony at the back when your all done. Y'all should try it.


"And again, the angel said: Behold, the Lord hath heard the prayers of his people, and also the prayers of his servant, Alma, who is thy father; for he has prayed with much faith concerning thee that thou mightest be brought to the knowledge of the truth; therefore, for this purpose have I come to convince thee of the power and authority of God, that the prayers of his servants might be answered according to their faith." Mosiah 27:14 There is power in prayer!!

Sincerely,

Sister Kimberly Galloway
