Sunday June 22nd

This morning we attended Sacrament Meeting with my sister Jamie.  We headed north and spent the night with the Captain's sister last night so that we wouldn't have so far to drive in the morning.  That explains why there was no post yesterday.  But the hand of the Lord was evident in that we had a vehicle to drive!  Our large van has been at the mechanics for almost two weeks, and we wouldn't have been able to go at all if it hadn't been fixed.  But miraculously it was finished just in time to start on our trip.

This morning my sister, Jamie, and her husband, Jon, were blessing their baby in Sacrament Meeting.  I suppose it is similar to a christening, in that the child is given a name and a blessing.  It is an important family event, and we were glad that we could be there.  It is always so inspiring to see a circle of priesthood holders gathered to perform baby blessing.

I believe the Priesthood to be one of the greatest blessings the Lord has given us, and was happy to see it in action this morning.  The hand of God was certainly evident in not only the gift of the Priesthood, but in a group of men worthy to hold and use it for the good of their families.
