Reflections

While in Singapore to renew our visas we had the opportunity to participate in Zone Conference with the Malaysian missionaries.  It was an exciting time for them because the Book of Mormon has just been translated into Malay....all of the missionaries were given copies to take back to their cities.  Their enthusiasm and excitement was evident as they talked about the people they love being able to read the Book of Mormon in their own language.  The conference was inspiring, with beautiful music from a missionary choir, testimonies shared, and teachings on the Doctrine of Christ.

Yesterday in the mission home we learned that one of the young elders serving in Malaysia had been hit by a car while riding his bike home from an appointment and was killed.  My heart aches for that young mans family, his companion, his mission president, and for all those who knew and loved him!
I have since reflected on the uncertainties of life...how quickly our circumstances can change...and how grateful I am for the plan of salvation and eternal families!
