Small World

Our Stake always has a temple day on Labor Day--we actually hadn't intended on going this year with school starting the next day, and with Taryn still being little-ish, but we decided on Sunday night that we would make a day trip of it and go. Their was a meeting on the 7th floor that we decided I would go to, and then Travis would do a session or do initiatories. He ended up doing initiatories because he just missed the last session. It's funny to see the hand of the Lord in all the little things we do and decide--as he was finishing the initiatory he went to shake the hand of the gentlemen helping, and looked up into the face of his Mission President from the Dallas TX mission. President and Sister Hanks are serving in the Washington D.C. mission and we had no idea. We met them outside the temple when Sister Hanks was done with her session, just for a few minutes to visit. I love how small the world becomes, especially as a member of the church. It's fun being in the military, because that makes it become even smaller. Anyway, I see this as our special blessing for deciding to go to the temple when it seemed so much easier to stay home and clean and prepare things for the week. How fun!
