Apostle’s Missions

We were fortunate to have a tour with our good friends Elder and sister Lagerberg from Gettysburg, PA.  They took us to the Seventy's hall and then to the Orson Hyde home.  It was fun to make some connections to Sister Lagerberg and how we are related.  She has a nephew from Farmington that is attending MHS and playing on the football team.

This shows one of many of our ancestors that is listed as a seventy.  We poured over the books and found several others.  It was enlightening.  We also recently learned that John Doyle Lee was given the assignment from Brigham Young to complete the building of the Seventy's Hall.

The Power of Godliness

Last night while in the temple, Diane and I were asked to be witnesses at a sealing. In this case it was a Woman who was being sealed by proxy to her father and mother. It was a little bit of a surprise but the temple staff scurried to get everything prepared and ready for the special event. When the temple sealer was talking to the woman, she said that her mother was very pleased. She also said that her mother had visited her and that this is what she wanted. What a tender feeling. It reminded me that in the ordinances of the gospel the power of godliness is manifested. I was grateful that Diane and I were in a position where we could be used to witness such a sacred event.

Carthage Jail

Visited the Carthage Jail with the Gale family.  It is about 25 minutes south of Nauvoo.   From the Saints -  Joseph mounted his horse and set off with Hyrum and the other men for Carthage. “I am going like a lamb to the slaughter,” he told them, “but I am calm as a summer’s morning. I have a conscience void of offense towards God and towards all men.”  The riders climbed the hill to the temple as the sun rose, casting golden light over the building’s unfinished walls. Joseph stopped his horse and looked out over the city. “This is the loveliest place and the best people under the heavens,” he said. “Little do they know the trials that await them.”   The Gale family huddled around the prophet Joseph and his brother Hyrum.   Sadie and Sister Dickson examining the door where the musket ball came through and struck Hyrum in the head.  Another ball entered by the side of the door.   We are in front of the window that Joseph fell or jump...
