The Beginning of Spring

It has been reported on the news that this has been the coldest spring in over 100 years but we are finally starting to see indications that spring is almost here. We have included some of the gardens around the Temple grounds that are starting to take shape. Elder Kiddle is still suffering from sciatica but feels the end of this affliction is almost here. He went to the Temple to work today April 16, 2013, his 71st birthday. It felt good to be back after resting for two weeks.

Since our last Blog we had the privilege of watching General Conference on April 6th and 7th. It was an amazing conference. We felt that some of the talks were addressed to non-members of the Church, making some of the talks useful for members and missionaries to use in doing missionary work among their non-member friends. President Monson  taught that obedience is the first law of heaven and the Lord requires a willing mind and an obedient heart. He also said that he that keepeth God's Commandments receiveth truth and light until he is glorified in truth and light. We love our Prophet and hope we can always follow his guidance.

We had a lovely surprise visit from Hera Toutai from the Calgary 13th Ward. It was good to see her and and spend some time with her.

We attended the East Grinstead Ward this past Sunday.

Our grandson, Reggie Lybbert, returned home from his mission  to Argentina,Resistencia on Sat. April 13th and we were able to visit with him on skype.
