Faith Filled Zone Conferences

We are almost through our first round of Zone Conferences and they are every bit as spirit filled as they were when I served my mission.  These Elders and Sisters are powerful.  We truly feel honored to be able to serve with them here in Houston.  The conferences have been about faith in Jesus Christ and exercising faith in Jesus Christ. During the conference a question was asked of the Elders and Sisters  what comes to their mind when they hear the word exercise?  By far the greatest comment was "donut."  He said he loved food and  left it at that.

 The humidity, by the way, is not nearly as terrible as we were told it would be.  Our skin has never had such a glow.     The rains remind us of Hawaii where they come out of nowhere, rain hard, then out comes the sun.  So feeling the Hawaii weather feels like a vacation.  We love it and we love the cute baby lizards that live in our garage.  President Hewlett's counselor was bitten by a copperhead last year that was under his car when he was getting ready to leave for work.  I like the baby lizards.

A Miracle of Miracles

I decided this week to go back one more time to our mission home which was destroyed by the flood. As I pulled into the driveway I was not expecting to feel the flood, yes the flood of emotions that went through me.  I wept as I walked into what was the most beautiful home just two months ago and the spirit in the home which was so tangible.  This was to be our home for the next three years and it had felt so peaceful.  It was in a beautiful neighborhood with lots of gorgeous trees and pathways to walk or bike. There was a stabbing pain inside of me as I walked through the home that day.  It didn't make any sense.  What had just happened?  Nothing in the home had belonged to us except for some sentimental things we had brought with us.  Everything was gone. Although we had only lived there two months, it was as if I needed closure for some reason.  I walked around still in shock of it all.  The pictures below show what the mission hom...

Count Your Many Blessings.........

A little more detail regarding yesterday's sacrament meeting.  Four wards met at the Kingwood stake Center.  Most were wearing the yellow "Mormon Helping Hands" shirts.  Sitting on the stand and looking over the 400 plus members who had gathered together to partake of the sacrament was indeed something never to be forgotten.  The service began with "Count Your Many Blessings" which has taken on a whole new meaning after yesterday.  Men and women wept as we sang this song together.  Many have lost everything.  The words of this song are worth repeating.  As you read these words, imagine the strength, comfort, and encouragement from the Savior that was felt as we sang these inspiring lyrics. When upon life's billows you are tempest-tossed, When you are discouraged thinking all is lost. Count your many blessings; name them one by one, And it will surprise you what the Lord has done. Are you ever burdened with a load of care? Does the cross se...

Day of Service

Today was an amazing day!  Having a 30 minute Sacrament meeting was awesome followed by a day of service! The 14 missionaries which were in Lake Charles, LA have now been moved back to Vidor.  So 8 of the 14 missionaries are back in their regular apartments in Vidor.  The 6 missionaries from Beaumont will hopefully be moving back to Beaumont tomorrow or the next day.  We still have a threesome from Orange who have been in Welsh, LA. and should be able to move back to their apartment on Tuesday. It has been quite eventful. Check out www.facebook.com/texashoustoneast for photos of today's service activities.
