Today at church we met up with our Canadian friends, Trevor and Debbie Coates,  in the ward here.  We were surprised to find out that, since we were last here, Trevor had been called as the Bishop of the ward.  After Sacrament meeting, Trevor asked us if we would meet with him in his office.  When we met up with him there, he asked us if we would each give a talk in Sacrament meeting next week.  He told us that things had not worked out with the people who he thought should give the talks and he felt that we were here in this ward often enough to be counted as part of the congregation.  He said that when he saw us he felt it was right to ask us to give the talks.  Of course, we readily agreed.  Trevor told us that the theme of the meeting was 'Continuing Revelation'.  I have decided to give my talk on personal revelation and Dad has decided to give his talk on 'Revelation from the Prophets and Leaders of the Church'.  Neither one of us is nervous about giving these talks next week as the members of this ward have made us feel so welcome and a part of this ward right from the first time we came here.
