We are celebrating Thanksgiving today at Brother and Sister Young's home. We attended a community Thanksgiving sunrise service this morning. It was good to get to know some people in the community and enjoy the beauty of the area we live in. Yesterday was rainy and overcast, but this morning was beautiful.
As I was studying this morning, I found this scripture:
"Now
my brethren, we see that God is mindful of every people, whatsoever
land they may be in; yea, he numbereth his people, and his bowels of
mercy are over all the earth. Now this is my joy, and my great
thanksgiving; yea, and I will give thanks unto my God forever. Amen."
Alma 26:37
I am grateful for the blessing of the restored gospel in my life, for the knowledge of my Savior and my Heavenly Father.
Karen
and Nolan are excited for their baptism. Karen is so anxious to learn
all of the commandments and live them so she can receive the blessings.
Brendan is back in town for a week and we were able to meet with him on
Friday. While he was in Labrador, he read 1 Nephi twice and lived the
Word of Wisdom! He met a member of the branch there and was able to talk
to him a bit. Amazing!
Good things are
happening in Bay Roberts and the Lord is hastening His work. I was
reading Jacob 5 this morning and reflecting on the precious branch in
Bay Roberts that the Lord has placed here for a purpose. He wants it to
bring forth fruit and I am excited to be a part of that.
Have a great week!

Pictures are from the sunrise service this morning, a hike that Sister
Pizzey, Sister Comfort and I went on last week in Brigus, and a sign
that we found at a church in Carbonear.
