It is amazing to think that three weeks ago snow was everywhere. Water, water everywhere you look. This is a view looking onto Halifax Harbour from Downtown Halifax. A popular restaurant called the Bicycle Thief is on the corner. We haven't been yet but will before we leave.
Had a Fabulous Preparation Day. Sealings at the temple and then out to another quaint restaurant on the Eastern Passage called Warf Wraps. The Haddock with Creme Cheeze in the middle is more that you can eat. The Pitts on the far left are from Boise Idaho, (They work in the Temple) The Greens are a local couple who work in the office part time. Elder Green is our resident Newfoundlander. President and Sister Leavitt.
No we don't want our picture taken. Sister Leavitt and Sister Harding
Now these two are very cute together. We cherish our time with the Leavitt's. They are so gracious and kind and humble servants of the Lord.
President Leavitt is Fabulous. It's always fun to be with them. He challenged the Missionaries to read the Book of Mormon during this transfer. It's been very rewarding. I am writing down all of the different titles given to Jesus Christ. I am up to 118. It has helped me appreciate and grow closer to the Saviour. A title that is used very extensively is "The Lord of Hosts"
President Leavitt also has a physical challenge for the Missionaries. 5 min planking. It was all that I could do to make one minute for two weeks, then all of a sudden I started to make some improvements. I made 3 minutes last Saturday. (About 8 weeks into the challenge) That which you persist in doing becomes easier, not because the nature of the thing has changed but our ability has increased. The once impossible task of 5 minutes seemed totally out of reach. There is absolutely no way, I would think. But now with some persistant effort, it seems like it might be possible. I now have hope that I could be able to do it. There's a parable in this experience for me.
