We didn't think we were going to have to teach primary today, but then the teacher for the senior primary boys was unexpectedly absent. Our class consisted of two boys. Partway through the lesson, one of their moms came in and sat in for the rest of the lesson. She was a recent convert and really contributed to the lesson. Although we've been counseled to spread the gospel via new media forms, I still feel weird about sharing spiritual things on a blog, but it's Sunday, so I guess I can. Anyway, the mother bore a wonderful testimony at the end of our lesson. It made me think about my own testimony and what a blessing it is to have the gospel in my life.

I hope you all had a good Sunday! Hopefully we'll have more exciting news to report in the coming week. Jason's grad school applications should be done soon and we get to go to the temple on Saturday!! Hooray!
