Great lesson on Sunday

We had a combined Relief Society and Priesthood lesson this last Sunday.  

Bishop Farnsworth gave the lesson on Temples and the importance of the temple.  It was very good.  He had facts about the temples and we watched a video about a people who traveled over 3,000 miles to attend a temple.  They sold everything they had to get there.  They took whole families so they could be sealed.  3 days by water and 3 days by bus.  Traveling at night through the water not really knowing how it was going to turn out.  On the 3 days boat trip they ran out of water.  They gathered together and prayed for an answer.  Clouds came, it poured for several hours and then the clouds cleared.  They were able to catch enough water to sustain them for the rest of their trip.  On the bus ride they were cheered on by many people who feed them and kept them going.  It was an amazing story.  We are so blessed, or spoiled I would have to say.  Those of you, like me, that have lived here in Cedar have lived 50 miles from a temple and will soon live 5 minutes from one.  We really have no excuse not to attend.  We need to do the Lord's work!!

It was a great reminder!!!  Thanks, bishop!!!
