Beautiful and Comfortable Sunday

This morning we woke up to beastly heat.  I was dreading Church because there is not air conditioning there or pretty much anywhere in Denmark.  However I was pleasantly surprised on the bus, because it was air conditioned.  In fact it was a bit chilly on the bus because so few people were riding.  We got to the Church and the chapel and upstairs areas were very hot but the basement was cool.  It rained on the way home and the temperatures dropped to the low 60's and it has been very comfortable ever since.

Church, as always was a wonderful spiritual feast.  We spoke about the covenants we make in the Church during Relief Society/Priesthood.  Here are few of the things that were discussed.

A covenant is a promise made between God and ourselves.  You are even more blessed when you do what you promised God.  He will shower blessings upon you.  Covenants are personal.  We build spiritual strength through covenants.

Baptism - we take upon ourselves Jesus Christ's name.  We promise to be a disciple and servant of Christ.

Temple - we make covenants (and promise to keep them). We become pure to God.  We go to the temple and do the work for others.  Only once do we do the work for ourselves.  The temple enlightens us.  When you attend the temple it like a physical embrace from our Father in Heaven.

Tithing helps us understand the  value of things.  Tithing teaches us to be selfless.

It was a beautiful and inspiring lesson.  I slept all afternoon because of a headache.  But I feel refreshed now.
