Paul and Kay Lynn Mission

This week we started out kind of in a down note. As we left you last week our car was not working well, a check engine came on Sunday on the way to church. We got home ok, but worried all night and had to call to have someone take our shift Monday morning. Our appointment at the Volkswagen dealer was at 9:00 and we were to be working at 10:00. Our directors took the start of the shift. After a couple of hours our car was as good as new, and we were on the road. (We feel so blessed that they could replace the spark plugs and ignition coil and we were good to go). We arrived 2 hours into our shift and worked the rest of the day. Monday night was our Senior Dinner for March. The presentation was on Friberg's Book of Mormon pictures. Very interesting ideas on the pictures, and we really enjoyed it. We are getting busy on tours at both the Trail Center and Tabernacle. We had a lady at the Tabernacle on tour and Sister White got her first referral. A referral means she asked the...

Windows Celestial Room facing Cemetery Another busy week here at Winter Quarters and some new things to experience. Tours are picking up with more people visiting both the Trail Center and the Tabernacle. Had tours in both places this week.  We had a great experience Tuesday night. We were invited to the Mission President's home to have dinner with the 11 new missionaries (8 Elders and 3 Sisters). They arrived Monday night and on Tuesday they had dinner and a Testimony Meeting, then they got their first assignment and who they will be training with.  We were invited because we just missed the last new missionary dinner. It was a very spiritual experience. Wednesday we were able to serve in the Temple when the departing Missionaries got to go before they went home the next day. Two great experiences.  Also learned this week that the Pioneer Cemetery is the only Cemetery dedicated as part of the Temple Grounds. President Hinckley included it in the dedication of th...

This week we continued learning our roles at the Temple, Trail Center and Tabernacle. We worked at the Tabernacle on Elder White's birthday. We went to dinner and then had a get together with other Trail Center Senior Couples. Had a great day hearing from family and friends as well as as learning more about our new friends.  Next week there this a Missionary session at the Temple where we will be able to serve. Saturday we met with President Gardner talking about serving in the Temple and being assigned to work in a different ward. We will be serving the people from Myanmar in Burma near Thailand. This is a group within the ward. They have a separate Sacrament meeting , Sunday School, and Primary. They do not speak English, only one Elder in the group and a lot of children do. Sister White will work in the Primary, Elder White will help in Sunday School. There is no translation of the Book of Mormon, so the Elders who speak the language read to them the Book of Mormon. There ar...
