Lots of pictures......a glorious week!

Yesterday we went to the San Diego Temple.  Isn't it gorgeous?  Inside it was too!  In the upper part of the celestial room there is an atrium with lots of plants and glass with light streaming in from above.  When we looked up out of the glass enclosure, we saw the angel Moroni that sits on top of the temple.  It was amazing.  It is hard to explain how beautiful and light filled this temple is. I guess you just have to be there.

 On Friday last week we did not have a graduation but for the next eight weeks we do and will be very busy.  Another senior missionary couple wanted to show us around.  They took us to Coronado and we went to the Hotel Del Coronado.  It was amazing. The whole area is beautiful and we hope we can explore some more at a later date.

This Friday Charlie Company will graduate.  This pictures shows the wonderful LDS graduates.
Thursday is Family Day and we will have a reception and cake cutting ceremony for all of these Marines and their families. As of today, we have over 100 people coming!

We also had a baptism this past Sunday. The Marine on the left baptized the Marine on the right.
Again, I say, the gospel in action.  Bringing souls unto Christ!

Last night we had Prayer Leader training and some of the graduating marines bore their testimonies of the sure knowledge that they were helped as they endured the Crucible and the Reaper and at last made it to becoming a marine.

Listening to their experiences strengthens my testimony of our Heavenly Fathers love for his children and the sure knowledge that Jesus Christ gave His life for all of us and understands the pain and struggles we each go through in this life.
