Transfer day to Benin! : Monday, December 12, 2022


Today is moving day for Elder Garcia and it isn't a quick moving day with the transfer because he is headed to BENIN! I am so thrilled for him to be able to be inside the actual country that his mission call stated. It has been a long time coming and to be honest, even with the borders being open now for a few months, I wasn't sure it would ever happen.

Elder Garcia I am sure is going to be thrilled. We will have a lot to catch up on next Monday and I am already looking forward to that for sure. 

Just know I love you more than you will ever know,

Mom

They are so interested and understanding and they ask the most amazing questions.  Wednesday was just a lot of contacting. Frère Tigi (who normally helps us in lessons) disappeared so it was up to us to find people. That didn't go wel...

His day in the temple

Covid is still placing restrictions on some things around here and the temple is still one of them. That didn't stop us from having a special day with Christian as he took out his own endowment. He chose to go through the Oquirrh Mountain Temple. Mainly because you can only go through the temple that is assigned to your ward currently but also because I think he is most comfortable there. Christian chose Tyler to be his escort and had invited both Grandma and Gary to join us as well. Gary was under the weather or had some sort of doctor appointment and so he was unable to be there but Grandma was and it was good to spend the couple of hours with her.  Christian didn't have many questions going into today and as always, I will be here with open ears to discuss anything perhaps now that he has had this experience. When we were at lunch Tyler asked him if he had any questions and he replied that he was confused on Heavenly Father being called Elohim because he learned in seminary ...
