Where did this last week go---- seems like it began and was over in a flash. President and Sister Robinson, temple president and matron, went with President Leavitt (mission president) and some senior couples to the Newfoundland District Conference. We went last year and had such a wonderful time. Bad news, an incoming storm has prevented the ferry crossing that they all need to cross back to Nova Scotia, so they are all stranded for another day at least. I know that the members will take good care of them.

We had a wonderful week at the temple. Craig got some of the temple work completed that he needed for some of his family, and we got to be there, it was very humbling to bring others the blessings of the gospel of Jesus Christ and the needed gospel ordinances.
Saturday night the Dartmouth Ward, and the Cole Harbor wards gathered for a "talent show". Watching Brother Fielden play his plunger violin was awesome, Shauna Edwards Simonson, you have never played a violin like that!! I read a couple of my poems.
Today, Sunday, Craig and Bro. Wilhelm sang their duet of "How Great Thou Art" in our sacrament meeting. All were visibly moved by the beautiful job they did. We hope to get it recorded and posted on line. Craig played the organ today, and I was the chorister. Craig also led the Darthmouth Ward Choir today in their sacrament meeting. So we attended 2 sacrament meetings and one sunday school! It was a busy day.
Then we got invited to dinner at Vince Vincent and Dianne McMahon's they had the elders over and needed some other Melchizedek Priesthood there. So we had tacos for dinner and had a great time. So it's been a busy week-- the best kind!
Take care family and friends- Hope you had a great St. Patrick's day, and that you are always close to God through prayer, reading you scriptures and choosing to stand up for whatever is "beautiful, lovely, praiseworthy and of good report"
