"And the house on the rock stood still!"

On Sunday we attended two LDS missionary meetings -- Eric Jordan (going to Japan) and Stranz Wolfgram (going to Brazil). Eric is in our current LDS ward. We have known Stranz since he was born. His family still lives in our Magna neighborhood.

Stranz Wolfgram's farewell talk was awesome! He delivered a very animated, energizing discussion of testimony and faith. His final words, "And the house (testimony) on the rock stood still." His manerism, his smile, his aura are so much like his deceased dad -- it was kind of surreal. I was so very proud of him. Stranz's mother had leis for many significant church leaders at the meeting. I was so impressed by his lei I took this picture (Willie, Stranz, and my brother Dee in the background - the Bishop).

It was great to be in a Magna LDS ward. There is such a difference from where we live in Hunter. The energy, enthusiasm, spiritual atmosphere -- not sure what it is, but it is definitely different. It will always be home away from home!
