Sunday night we listen to the First Presidency Christmas Devotional, and as we were walking back to our room we took pictures in front of the lights at the MTC. The next picture is of Elder and Sister Godfrey. He was a missionary in Houston from 1960-1962. He frequently eat in the Hinson home. He also coached Fred in Derringer league baseball. (The missionaries would set up teams, and then they would play each other.) Elder Godfrey's team won state. It was wonderful for Fred and Elder Godfrey to have a reunion in the MTC. The Godfrey's will be serving in South Africa as Humanitarian missionaries. There are no coincidences in the Church! Today (Monday) we had a wonderful day spent at Welfare Square, and also the Humanitarian center. You just can't imagine all the world wide projects the church is involved in. Very inspiring! We had a nice lunch at the Joseph Smith Memorial Building, and were fortunate to be able to hear Elder Glenn Rudd speak. He was one of the key church leaders that helped formulate the church welfare system as it is today. Its has been an inspiring day!
