Sunday Scripture

13 Now when the people had said this, and withstood all his words, and reviled him, and spit upon him, and caused that he should be cast out of their city, he departed thence and took his journey towards the city which was called Aaron.
14 And it came to pass that while he was journeying thither, being weighed down with sorrow, wading through much tribulation and anguish of soul, because of the wickedness of the people who were in the city of Ammonihah, it came to pass while Alma was thus weighed down with sorrow, behold an angel of the Lord appeared unto him, saying:
15 Blessed art thou, Alma; therefore, lift up thy head and rejoice, for thou hast great cause to rejoice; for thou hast been faithful in keeping the commandments of God from the time which thou receivedst thy first message from him. Behold, I am he that delivered it unto you.

Alma 8:13-15

Times getting short!

This picture of my missionary was actually taken not too long after he arrived in country.  I've always liked it.  So far, of all his missionary pictures, I think this is my favorite.   Its hard to believe that he will becoming home in just over a month.  We got his final itinerary the other day.  Its exciting.  And an added bonus is all the family that will come when he gets home.  So far its looking like everyone but Moosberre and his family will be able to be here.  I'm looking forward to that.  Stachelbeere's plans are to work while he's here and then go to school in January.  He doesn't know yet if he's been accepted yet at his first choice.  His second choice says he's accepted if there's space (they won't know until closer) and his third choice has accepted him.  We'll have to see how that goes.  So should we start a big count-down?  Nah, we'll just patiently wait.  Maybe.
