Sunday was pretty good. We had a couple of real good talks in both wards about the Atonement. The best one was from the family we are staying with. He talked about how our existence is like a 3 act play. He talked about how well we all did in act 1 (premortal life). We are now in act 2. We don't remember act 1 but we know it was good. He also talked about how well we do in this life will determine how well act 3 or Heaven will be for us and that we are setting the stage for what is to come.
We had dinner with our host family. They fed us steaks, which I got to grill. We also had rolls and baked potatoes.
While we were on our temple trip, the family that took us invited us over for the evening, so we went there with another companionship. I got to hear how well the Thunder are doing. When we left to go back to our car (the other companionship drive), my companion realized that he didn't have his keys and that he had left them at the members house. They live about 20 minutes from where we parked our car. It was an interesting night.
The temple was great. I didn't realize how big the Portland Temple was. They say it is a medium size time. I guess all temples are huge compared to the OKC Temple. It was a neat experience. My zone all went to the temple except one companionship because one of the elders had food poisoning from eating at Red Robbin. He is doing much better.
We did find one new investigator while we were out tracting. He was impressed at how far we had walked and wanted to hear our message so he said we came come back. We did find out that most of his friends are members and thinks very highly of them.
Love,
Elder Poling
