Really short today!
Yesterday we met with an amazing member family. They lived in New Zealand for about two years, but when they heard a talk about how members need to help strengthen the church in their own countries, they moved back to Korea.
Their oldest daughter speaks wonderful English with a beautiful New Zealand accent, and is smart and a good studier, but they decided to take her out of high school so she could study at home. Her parents didn't like how they couldn't have dinner together as a family ever--high school students stay at school late, late studying.
I was amazed at their courage to make these decisions, and at the blessings that came from them. They had a strong, loving family, and it made me (again) want my family and home and children to grow based on gospel principles.
Choi Hee sook, who we set the date with, couldn't come to church this week. So the date will be pushed back. This way, though, she will be able to prepare better for baptism.
Out of time!
Have a wonderful week,
Carrie
