Last weekend was a great time for us and a good break from the proselyting and teaching regimen. Thursday we attended a training session with President Jack R. Christianson at the John Young Home. He is always inspiring. (So much so, in fact, that we ordered several of his lectures on CD. ) For this training he showed the video of Elder Bednar's address in the MTC speaking about Christ's ability to "turn outward" rather than inward by always thinking about what others need rather than selfishly thinking about himself. President Christianson's comments together with this inspiring talk made a deep impression on all of us. On friday, several senior couples met at the Erie Canal for a tour and presentation about the history of the canal while riding a boat through one of the lochs. After the tour we had dinner at Uno's with the Servoss', the Bests, and the Barlows, laughing and sharing experiences. It was so relaxing and fun to be socializing with great friends. Saturday morning was Cattaraugus Branch's time at the Bishops Storehouse. This storehouse is located in Canandaguia, just a few miles from the John Young Home in Mendon so we were able to help there before we headed back. It made for a couple of hours of hard work but so good to see the welfare plan in action.
