When I Get Weary and I Can't Sleep.....

I count my blessings instead of sheep.......

This was, indeed, a day of preparation.  I am giving the English lesson Thursday evening from the Pearl of Great Price.  The topic is Joseph Smith - History.  Just throw me in the briar patch!...(to quote Brer Rabbit)  I love the prophet Joseph Smith and I love to read about him.

We cleaned, did laundry, went shopping, and prepared otherwise.

Our friends, Elder and Sister Middlemas came in the evening.  There is a mission-wide conference tomorrow all day with our area authority Elder José and Sister Maria Teixeira.  We heard them speak at Festinord....and are very much looking forward to hearing them tomorrow.  All of the missionaries from all over Denmark and Iceland will be there, and many need a place to stay tonight.  It is always fun to see  friends.

Elder and Sister Middlemas were transferred from a place that had become much beloved to them to a small island out in the Baltic Sea.  They have been there for just a few weeks, but they already love it.  They serve faithfully and cheerfully wherever they are assigned, and as a result realize great blessings from their service.

Tomorrow night, Elder and Sister Blackham will also stay with us, because on Thursday all of the senior missionaries will have the privilege of meeting with the Teixeiras.  So there are some incredible opportunities in the next couple of days to be taught.

Yes....we feel very blessed.
