Chapel of Ease

-
There are days when the thought of taking it easy, kicking back with our feet up sounds pretty darn great!  Then I'm reminded of a talk Elder Uchtdorf gave where he is talking about Nehemiah of the Old Testament:
"Our Heavenly Father seeks those who refuse to allow the trivial to hinder them in their pursuit of the eternal. He seeks those who will not allow the attraction of ease or the traps of the adversary to distract them from the work He has given them to perform. He seeks those whose actions conform to their words—those who say with conviction, “I am doing a great work and cannot come down.”
Best we get back to WORK  ; )  (check out the cute red mail box....)

Ann and her mom in the workroom at "The Barn" When we have a free Saturday, the Elders, Elder Bart and myself volunteer to work at "The Barn".  It's a local DI of sort, they collect used items from others and sell them to raise money for the hospital.  It is one of my favorite things to do.  I get to meet and chat with fun, wonderful people and find cool treasures from Bermuda as well.  This is a picture of the manager and her 95 year old mother (what a sense of humor and love of life this woman has).  Everyone there works very hard at helping others.  My hat is off to them.

Our youth decided that it would be fun to host a "Non-talent Talent Show".  We'll we were all for that. Elder Webster and I have many talents, so sad, none that could be called culturally refined. So we were excited about the prospects of being able to share a non-talent.  Our idea ; ) "Elder Short".  Surprisingly no one here has ever seen a Mr Short presentation, let alone an Elder Short.  It was a hit, we had such fun sharing our presentation.   There was a great many talents and non-talents shared, as well as a good number of visitors some of which even participated.  It was WONDERFUL and fun.  Of course a pot luck dinner followed with good conversation and fellowshipping.

Church of Jesus Christ of Latterday Saints/ Bermuda Branch

It's been a while, this is where the "Bermuda Branch" meets.  It's a great building, the only concern, they are outgrowing this building.  Isn't that terrific!  The spirit is very strong at the branch and by the way these folks can sing, wonderful strong voices.  Everyday we keep saying to each other just how lovely the members are and the Bermudian on the street. Grateful to be here.
