Spiritual Matters

Tonight President Neal Peterson blessed us and set us apart as missionaries. It was another assurance that God is there, that He knows us and loves us, and that He is sending us to the exact place where He needs us. President Peterson addressed all my concerns and  referred to D&C 84:88. When the blessing was finished, I asked him if he knew that that was "our" scripture--pointing to the frame. He did not, but we all were touched that his words were the message that the Lord wanted us to hear. Jim's blessing addressed Jim's concerns and blessings for our family while we are gone. Wiping his tears, President Peterson told us that he couldn't find the exact words to express the feeling that had come to him when his hands were on Jim's head. It was something about our teachings helping the Gospel to spread across the border. I guess that we'll had to wait to see how it all plays out. President Peterson says we will know when it happens. It was a testimony to us that it was the Lord's message, through our very spiritual, in-tune stake president. Jim, Cameron, and Bishop Todd Parker participated in the laying on of hands.
