Saturday, July 20th, 2013- We work our usual day at the temple. It was a good day, what day at the temple couldn't be good. We are so grateful for the time we spend there each week. We leave just a little bit early to prepare for a trip to New Glasgow, Nova Scotia. Craig has the chance to participate in one last Missionary Concert. He has been trying to get a cold and it will take a great deal of faith and prayers for him to do his best. We are grateful to President Robinson for a priesthood blessing that surely is appreciated.

It's another lovely summer day in the Maritimes and the drive to New Glasgow (about 2 hours) is lovely. The following pictures were taking during the rehearsal, not the actual performance.

Our Concert on Saturday night was well attended and went so smoothly. All did such a wonderful job.
