Visit from Elder and Sister Soares

This weekend we had a visit from Elder Ulysses Soares of the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles and his wife, Rosana, along with Elder Craig C. Christensen and his wife, Debbie. It was a wonderful weekend! Elder Soares shared what it means to be a successful missionary and taught us how to gain spiritual power. He shared a powerful witness of the Savior. Our mission has been blessed to have been visited by three apostles and the presidents of two auxiliaries and members of the seventy since last June! Elder Christofferson, Elder Renlund and Elder Soares. Sister Porter of the Primary and Sister Johnson of the Relief Society. Elders Kearon, Walker, Christensen, and Godoy. I will post the picture of our mission with Elder Soares when we receive it. Ask your missionaries what they learned from his visit this past weekend.

Welcome Home Elder Wastlund

 21 hours travel time, but that hug was worth it! I imagine heaven will be the same. Years will become an instant, and then suddenly love and remembrance will fill our hearts and we will feel as though we were never apart. I am so thankful for eternal families! And for this missionary who served with his whole heart. We love you Elder Wastlund, well done!

Release

 Kody was released as a missionary by President Barney just a few hours after arriving home.  Kody said as President Barney released him he could feel the Lord's acceptance of his work and a feeling of love and appreciation. He was given the neatest blessing and told that he could not progress now without an eternal companion by his side.  The next morning he reported his mission to the high council, and I was so proud of him and amazed at how much he had grown in two years.  He spoke with humility and power. We whisked him away to Disneyland on a family trip the next week.  The following Sunday he reported his mission in church, and did an amazing job. I cried mot of the way through.  Our family then sang "If I Were a Shepherd" a Christmas song about being a disciple of Christ. I was so grateful to have all of my family by my side again.  I am excited to see what is in store next for this new man who has been refined by the Lord.
