The Beauty of Nurturing the Spirit

Today Ron and I went to Rufus, Oregon for him to do some work at the trial variety plot. He just needed to weed the perimeter and clear the noxious weeds in the path of the border of the plot.

The weather was great, in the mid 70s. We had lunch and drove on home. It took about 2 hours to get there. We were there about two hours, then two hours back.

I used that drive time to read to Ron and enjoyed some biographical sketches of "Fathers of Faith "in the Church and their lives. Some of the stories were about Elder Grant Bangerter, Spencer W Kimball, Bruce R McConkie, C. Max Caldwell, Gordon B Hinckley. The accounts of their lives were some that were uncommon and written by their sons or daughters.

We loved these personal glimpses of their lives and how they taught by their example. Their examples were a testament of faithful, powerful priesthood holders. We read at night the lives of "Women of Character," Both books are uplifting and enlightening. They feed our spirits and helps us focus.

We are grateful for the time to get to prepare and grow spiritually in the meantime.
