January 23

I love young adults.  Last week for the Preparing For Eternal Marriage class I had 31 students.  This week I had 28, but of that 28 one third were not in attendance this week.  I worry about continuity, and getting the big picture. We had fun with the lesson and some really spiritual moments for which I am grateful.

I am giving them assignments each week that hopefully will get them moving toward a temple marriage.  Last week they were to pray twice a day asking Heavenly Father to help them find the right person to marry, or perhaps to get themselves ready for an eternal marriage.  This week's assignment was to get to the temple with the same request in their hearts.

I had them turn in what they were asking Heavenly Father with no name on the paper. I cried when I read their prayers. There is nowhere in the world with more deeply spiritual young adults than Fiji.  What a blessing it is to be in their midst.
