We feel rejuvenated and filled to the brim after listening to so many inspiring messages from our leaders. Even though there were messages of warning and direction, there were also many words of joy and encouragement. They all remind us that Father in Heaven loves us deeply and wants to help us through our life struggles so that we can return to Him. Hopefully we will now go forth with renewed vigor and determination to live our lives better, love deeper, forgive easier, repent quicker, teach more effectively, and find joy every day.
Much of our time lately has been spent in the car--driving people around that are trying to move, getting some to/from FHE or Church, getting to/from our long-distance FHEs. We drove a lot this past week taking invitations to people about Conference. Also, we are making several trips to Asheville for Lynn's doctor appointments. His heart ablation (procedure to repair is irregular heartbeat) is on Wednesday, April 9. We are confident all will go well and he will be fine. Prayers are appreciated, though.
Our testimonies continue to grow as we teach others about Christ's gospel. We are very blessed and grateful for our wonderful life. This is the way to begin and cap off a life together, with a honeymoon! Our mission is like that! We love spending all our time with each other doing the Lord's work. We love Him!
May you each enjoy a renewal of love, testimony, and joy with this beautiful spring.
Love always--
The Ogdens
