Our first Sunday in our new ward I told my teacher my name was Mirgatroid. (And she believed me! Called me that through the rest of the class!

Our cousin's son is on a mission in Poland and he wrote and described this wonderful district conference with visiting authorities...it had to be the same one! (Only too bad he's an elder so he missed the sisters' meeting!).<BR/><BR/>He talked about there being just one LDS chapel in all of Poland, and I told the family about the post you wrote a few months ago about driving...what was it...five hours to church?!?<BR/><BR/>Just wondering now...he said mission/district president shared a story called Anna's Prayer...which is the story of our great grandmother. Were you there for that part? (My mother-in-law told it a few years back in general conference.) I feel the world is amazingly small when I have a connection to, of all places, Poland. But the size and the scope of your heart seems to bring everyone closer.charrettehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16351177033783487168noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-83239427845904731122009-03-02T23:04:00.000+01:002009-03-02T23:04:00.000+01:00How wonderful to see Evie's ah-ha moment like that...How wonderful to see Evie's ah-ha moment like that - you rock. =)Kimberly Vanderhorsthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653757517652257445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4869329841369921947.post-69277006832652995142009-03-02T22:34:00.000+01:002009-03-02T22:34:00.000+01:00That's pretty cool.

When I was younger I was more of an obnoxiously boisterous, curly-haired girl that got kicked out of sunday school. My teachers loved having me. And I'm pretty sure I'll pay for all of this later...

I started my 'inspiration journal' because of that quote, where I right down spiritual experiences, moments of inspiration, and just those tender moments where you feel that connection. This would be one of them.

So what that it is the same answers over and over again? It is true! Sounds like you and Evie had a sweet bonding moment there and that she really felt the spirit. So cool.<BR/><BR/>My hubby, who is a rhetorician, has given great advice on impromptu talks. You know, like when there is time left at the end of a meeting and someone asks you to share your thoughts on repentance, etc. He calls it S.E.E.T. Scripture, explain, example, testimony. It is a foolproof little formula that we have used to teach the youth in the ward so that they can be prepared to share without tons of notice.
