Beautiful Rexburg Temple

Remember my experience with trying to find the Spanish Branch in Rexburg?

On Friday I was headed out to do a session at the temple when my roommate asked me to wait for her and do initiatories instead of an endowment session. I crashed on the couch for a bit waiting for her but I was happy I didn't have to ride my bike up the exhausting hill to the temple.

We opened the doors to the temple and an Elder looks at me like he knew me and says "hey! you're home!"

I looked at him completely lost and then read his tag which was in Spanish. I forgot that he mentioned he knew me and was instantly happy to see them considering I have been wanting to help in anyway I could with the Latin members in Rexburg. He told me they weren't who I was looking for because they are in the Driggs area.

I then inquired more about how he knew me, he looked familiar but I couldn't remember anything about him. He seemed to remember lots about me from before the mission. Apparently we were in the same ward when I got my mission call.

Small World.

Even though they are in Driggs I offered my assistance on any lessons or activities. They took my number and then informed me of a fireside that was to be held in the Visitors Center at the Idaho Falls Temple.

After begging tons of people to go with me (my car is still broken down in Utah) I got a ride to the fireside and I am so grateful I had that opportunity.

With all the Spanish Missionaries in the Pocatello mission, Emeritus 70 Elder Hammond, members and a good friend of mine I enjoyed one of the more spiritual nights since being home from my mission.

I met investigators and members. I was able to bare my testimony in a language I have grown to charish. Doors were opened to future opportunities to teach a people that I feel so connected to. I felt that joy again that I felt daily on my mission.

I am so grateful for the people the Lord continues to place in my path and the doors that are being opened for me to grow and remember the experiences on my mission so that I can continue to be a member missionary.
