Week of History & Wonder

What a great week! Our Institute students are coming back and it is wonderful to greet them again. We love them so much and stand in awe at their spiritual depth, capacity to love, and ability to make anything fun as long as they are together. What a privilege to be a small part of their lives! In addition to our class on Tuesdays in Cardiff, we hope to have an impact on the students in Pontypridd as we teach there on Wednesdays and in Merthyr Tydfil when we teach there every other Thursday. How fun it will be to teach the Book of Mormon on several different levels of understanding.

We have diligently studied the Book of Mormon all summer and have gained an increased love for the Savior, an added depth of understanding, and an overpowering gratitude that the Book of Mormon was written, preserved, translated, and made available to us by the hand of God through the work and sacrifice of so many choice individuals through a long and turbulent history. Our students may learn nothing, but we have. It is true. It has power to save.
