"Time flies on wings of lightning; we cannot call it back" (Improve the Shining Moments, #226). We are all freely given the same amount of time each day. When the use of time is linked with others of like minds, purpose and direction, its value is immeasurable and the benefits to individuals and mankind, both temporally and spiritually, are immense.
As hard as it is to do, I need to face reality and admit that I cannot with my time keep up with recording even the basic major events, transfers, community events, and holidays, that happen at the Mormon Battalion Historic Site. I just don't seem to have enough hours in the day, energy in my person, or expertise in technology to make what I would like to do on this blog happen. So, I have resorted to putting down a few thoughts and posting a link to where many of the missionaries post pictures for our general Battalion use. (I'm linking in with others of like minds and using their talents to share as if they were mine.)
As you look at this link, you will see some fun pictures, and you will also see WAY too many similar pictures. That seems to be the bane of our modern society when it comes to photography. It is so easy to take pictures and way to hard to decide which ones to delete. Hence, more then enough are posted.
The video clips and pictures on this link show the creativity the sisters have in turning our very ordinary and sometimes grueling routine at the Mormon Battalion Historic Site into fun memories. And there definitely is a strong sisterhood presence in our mission which is enriching for all of us. In the four transfers, or six months, they spend with us, we all grow very close to each other.
Some thoughts by Teryl Givens that I'd like to share: Salvation means healing. Damned means damaged. When I am blind, He can help me see. When I am wounded, He can heal me. When I am in an "awful state," He will not abandon me. And "Repentance is just a process of reeducating the heart."
Everyday of my mission at the Mormon Battalion Historic Site I encounter opportunities to reeducate my heart to be more observant and serviceable, more grateful and giving, more thoughtful and caring.
