Hello!
Wasn't General Conference great?! Some big changes happened that we have an opportunity to use to bless lives and serve more effectively We were especially happy to hear that a temple for Cagayan De Oro was announced! What a blessing it will be for the people who live on that island to be able to have a temple in their midst. These wonderful people take challenges in stride and don't waste time complaining about the difficulties they face. Cagayan De Oro is on an island that much conflict and unrest including militants trying to take over cities.
Kent and I were on an island called Siquijor (seek-i-hor) at the end of March. I thought you might like to see the beautiful beach and starfish we saw. The stand with Coke bottles is actually a "gas station". The woman and her daughter who run the stand will use the funnel to fill the tanks of motorcycles that need gas. There are 2 kinds of gas, red and green. The third picture is of a cemetery on the island-all graves are above-ground. I wish we had the time and means to submit info to Billiongraves (an app you can use to help record grave sites in cemeteries).
Our scriptural thought for the week has to do with general conference and what we experienced and now what each of our duties are… D&C 1: 14 “And the arm of the Lord shall be revealed; and the day cometh that they who will not hear the voice of the Lord, neither the voice of his servants, neither give heed to words of the prophets and apostles, shall be cut off from the people.” Our challenge now is to do as instructed and move forward with faith. It is an exciting time to be alive and we are so grateful for living prophets and apostles. We’re blessed to be serving and trust all is well with each of you.
Thank you for your love and prayers.
Love,
The Tuckers
