DAY 7 -- One Week

I can't believe it.  Only seven days until we celebrate our 40th anniversary.  I remember the day like it was yesterday.  We went to the SL Temple and had Robert L. Simpson seal us.  He was a friend of the family.  It was joyous. Forty years later, we are waiting for our mission call.  We may celebrate our anniversary with our mission call.

Yesterday, Friday, June 1 I went to work and felt a feeling of total peace.  I felt comfortable, peaceful, and excited.  Nothing seemed to bother me.  I felt like Father was walking with me throughout the whole day.  Perhaps it was my earthly father or mother.  I just felt peaceful as we await our call.  It was as if someone was telling me, to my soul within, that all is going as He planned it and I should just be glad that He was taking charge of things. 

Friday night we presented one of our concerts in SLC.  It was a joy to sing with Sally, our director.  We sang all kinds of songs.  I loved it.  Tonight, we shall sing our last concert for the next couple of years at the Libby Gardner Concert Hall on the U campus.  It is a wonderful hall and one we feel privileged to sing at.

My daughter in law, Tessa presented me with a medal, or a metal coin which has imprinted on it, Super Patient.  Now where it came from, or why it was, who knows.  But Tessa said that I deserve the Super Patient award.  She complimented me at being patient, a super patient. 

Yesterday, Friday, I felt patient, peaceful and happy.  Perhaps because she gave me that award, that metal, or medal of patience.  I am patient.

I know things are moving forward in SLC.  I don't know when we shall know the outcome.  But I know they are progressing toward giving us our assignment where we can serve. 

Today I get to see one of my grand kids baptised.  Enjoyable.  We will miss things like this, but we will be serving and enjoying baptisms of other dear ones.
