Well last week was the first week without a blog since the beginning of our mission. The main reason why is we were traveling from Bohol to Utah and that put us off schedule. So I am going to recap the last 2 weeks.
So on November 18th Elder Quentin L Cook of the Quorum or the Twelve Apostles visited Cebu and meet will all the missionaries in our mission. It was an inspiring meeting with a living Apostle of the Lord Jesus Christ. He bore a special witness of the Savior and talked of how he knew the Savior personally in his life. It is a strong testimony to hear from a living Apostle.

The missionaries from Bohol traveled in the morning to Cebu on the ferry and retired back to Bohol that night. Sister Bell went home with the missionaries and I stayed in Cebu overnight for a meeting with all the Branch, District Presidents along with all the Bishops and Stake Presidents on the Islands of Cebu and Bohol. That was also a very inspiring meeting with Elder Cook.
Then, on Sunday we started our travel home to the USA so I could testify in a trial for a court case that stared in 2009 while I still owned K Bell Plumbing. It was frivolous lawsuit where attorneys were just chasing insurance money. To make a long story short the suite was settled out of court 2 days after we returned home and we no longer need to testify. Well the insurance company bought our plane tickets so we will return to Bohol on Dec. 15. We were able to visit our family and be home for Thanksgiving. A great time was had by all.

We had a great Thanksgiving and we will have more family pictures next week when the rest of our family comes into town.
We also were able to attend the welcome home for our dear Sister Ross. We served twice with her for half of her mission. She is and was always an amazing missionary. The 2 stories she spoke of in her talk were concerning miracles she had experienced while on her mission. We were in the middle of both of them as they happened and between Sister Bell and I their were not any dry eyes. We were also privileged to see President and Sister Tanner at the farewell and we loved seeing them again.

Well I will close with my testimony of the great work we are engaged in. The Lord's work is moving on in the mission field and also at home. Hearts are being prepared and testimonies are being given to all who will open their heart to receive them. The Lord truly is in change and this is His work. My prayer is that we will always be prepared and ready to help or serve in any way we can. I know the Lord lives today and he loves each and every one of you. I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
