November 7th: This is Sunday and I'm grateful for the gospel and the ordinances of the gospel and for fast and testimony meeting. This was a special week for some families in our ward which made for a very spiritual fast and testimony meeting. We had two baptisms and confirmations which means church membership and the gift of the Holy Ghost. One family was able to finalize the adoption they had been working and fighting for for the past year and take the little one to the temple to be sealed to them forever and then blessed her in church. The father who had been in Afghanistan since March was able to come home for two weeks for all this to be possible. Wonderful day today.
