Who Would Have Thought It?

Who would have thought that 43 years ago, sitting on a swing on my front porch with Randy, that I would be here, in the DR today fulfilling a dream that he promised me that night? Time flies so very quickly. For my grandchildren: there is no time to waste with frivolous things. time passes quickly and you must prepare now for your futures.
Before we were married, we decided we would serve a mission together. The Lord has blessed us with good health and the opportunity to achieve that goal. Now I realize what a great responsibility that is. We love the young adults in Santo Domingo! We can't let them down. We need to be good examples of happiness and love of God and each other. Sometimes I feel that I'm not up to this task. Teaching them the Gospel and all that that entails. I need the spirit to be with me and sometimes I don't feel worthy of it.
 I know that my Savior is aware of my weaknesses and I know He can make weak things strong. I also know that the "Spirit" can teach where I lack.

This past week in my Church History Class we were talking about agency, and a young man that is not-yet baptized asked a question that took a lot more explaining than we had time for in class. I answered the best and shortest way I could at the moment. After class Elder Park gave him some scriptures to read and they talked for just a minute. I have thought about this a lot and I hope he understood and that he read the scriptures Randy gave to him. It's bothered me since Thursday that I didn't answer him adequately, but today I realized that Heavenly Father is aware of my inadequacy and this young man will be taught by the spirit. I  know that part of that teaching was fulfilled by my wonderful companion, Elder Park after class. This young man's name is Cassagnol and he is being baptized on Saturday. We are excited to have him in Randy's English class and my Church History class.  Peggy.
