What a special blessing this is in our lives!
Dad, after 80 years has decided he wants
to go through the temple and he wants to
do his own temple work while he is on
this earth, he doesn't want someone
else to do it for him.
He started going to church a few months ago
and has been prompted by the spirit.
He was ordained a priest on Sunday,
June 7, 2009. We were all present and
it was the first time as a family we have all
sat together in Sacrament and witnessed our
father partake of the sacrament.
I know that Heavenly Father hears and
answers our prayers, not always in the
time frame we hope and wish for, but in His
own time. I have prayed for my Father for
10+ years that he might have the desire to
have the gospel in his life, that his heart may
be softened. So I know that my prayers have been
heard and answered and I am so Thankful to a loving
Heavenly Father who knows us and the desires of
our hearts. I am grateful this day for my Dad, husband and family.
