So wasn't the lesson a good one on Sunday? I came away feeling uplifted and inspired to be better.
Fiona taught and it was based on some things that became a bit of a theme at Conference the previous week. We were encouraged to have our 'doors open towards the temple' and discussed things that enable this to be so, like; personal prayer and scripture study, service, attending meetings, paying tithing, being morally clean, keeping the word of wisdom and keeping the Sabbath day holy. I could here some interesting discussions going on when we broke into 4 groups to discuss in detail how these things bless us as individuals.
At the beginning of the lesson, Bishop was invited to speak to us about temple recommend interviews. He discussed with us the questions we are asked during such an interview and encouraged us to all have a current recommend. It was lovely to hear from sister Goldstone that this is something she really wants for herself now.
There is a definite 'buzz' in the ward at the moment as people prepare themselves and concentrate on 'A Week At The Temple' - scheduled for October. It feels good! As a presidency we hope that you will take the opportunity to attend the temple with family and other members of the Stake to participate in temple work and worship. It's going to be a wonderful time.
