83

This week was pretty awesome. On Saturday we went with the Bius family and Cassandra and Matthew to the Sacramento Temple for a temple tour. Bro. and Sis. Boyce from the Folsom Stake put it on every Saturday. We started in the Mormon Center and watched Elder Holland and President Eyring talk about temples and the short video "The Restoration." After that we walked around the temple as the Boyce's talked about some of the rooms that we were standing outside of and the ordinances performed there. Sis. Boyce bore powerful testimony of temple sealings and I think the Bius family paid close attention then.

The day before the temple tour Elder Finnerty and I taught and invited the Bius's to pray about baptism on the 30th of March. They have been prepared by the hand of God! Both John and Michelle have Catholic backgrounds but have been questioning with all of the recent changes in the church. The first time I met the Bius family it seemed like they were already Mormons! They have the best family values, John is a hard worker, Michelle cans and does food storage... they just seem to do everything in the "mormon culture." Anyways, they are so awesome. In church yesterday they told us that they have decided that they want to be baptized Easter weekend!
