Elder/Sister Meyers

We returned to the India Visa place and we were granted our visa to go to India. We will be leaving for India on March 7th and returning on the evening of March 9th.
The big event this week was getting to met our mission president and his wife. They are Randy and Andrea Funk. They are from Colorado. They came to visit with us on Saturday, March 26th. We had a great visit and I prepared lunch for all of us. After lunch Ajith, a van driver, came and took us to Negombo. Negombo's new church is complete and they were holding an open house. The members did a wonderful job of sharing their church with the people of the community. The auxiliary leaders furnished a display for their organization that showed what they do. They also had ward members answering any questions. Elder Meyers and I were asked to be in charge of the material table. We had lots of books, pictures, fliers, and handouts for the visitors. Many less actives came and lots of the community supported the open house. At the end of the tour the people were treated to cake and punch. At 7 pm there was a program. President Anton told about the Church history of Sri Lanka and President Royce shared the history of the Negombo Branch. It was very interesting for us to hear many of the facts. The Primary Children sang "The Chapel Doors" and the Branch Choir shared "Love is Spoken Here". These people are so remarkable and humble. The Lord has truly blessed them with this beautiful building. President Funk gave the Dedicatory Prayer. The Spirit was so strong! I once again had my testimony strengthened as that prayer was given. We left Negombo with Ajith and the Funks. Ajith dropped the Funks off at their hotel, The Colombo Hilton, and then brought us home. It was a terrific day!
Today was Sunday. We went to Church as usual. While I was visiting with the sisters in the hallway before church, President Kolitha asked me if he could visit with me. I asked him if I was in trouble. He just laughed. We went to his office and he asked me to be the 2nd Counselor in the Primary. He said they also want me to help the children learn the new songs for their Sacrament Presentation. I asked if he had talked to my husband. He said he had. When I went out in the hall I told Elder Meyers and he said he didn't know anything about it. President Kolitha did talk to him before I was sustained in Sacrament Meeting. I'm excited about the call! I love Primary!! This just means that Elder Meyers will get to teach the Temple Prep Class during Sunday School by himself.

The Church is true! Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ do live. They love each of us and want us to be happy. They know us by name and desire that we come unto then and we will be happy!!!!
