Friends

 I am not sure what the reason was for all the temple ladies coming to our ward last Sunday. It was so nice to see them in a different setting. Usually we only whisper in conducting and organizing the work to be done in the temple. 

I also happen to be teaching Relief Society that day so if I had hoped for a small group, it didn't happen. It was nice that they supported me in my ideas and made really great comments.

For the lesson, I had outlined the three things I wanted to emphasize in President Eyring's last general conference talk, and then had it translated into French and Twi. I wanted anyone who came into the class to have -at the minimum - a knowledge of what we were discussing. I would give my part in English and then one of the ladies read it in Twi. I noted the lady who spoke French read through the notes and then just looked on. Lots of times I am the one looking on while Twi is being spoken around me. 

One of my temple lady friends told about her Primary children who have no hesitation inviting their friends to come to church and Primary with them. She says that often there are many children that are not members of the church. Sometimes if the child is really interested in learning more, the missionaries will follow them home and introduce themselves to the children's family. My friend said that the simple doctrines of the gospel have a great influence on her Primary children's friends.
