An Angel

   Last year we worked very diligently with a soldier who wanted to be ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood so that he could be sealed to his sweet wife.  It was not easy to get his interviews because of the Osama Bin Laden incident which increased the security on the base.  Next, he needed a temple recommend.  Bishop B. said that the soldier needed to have the Temple Preparation lessons first.  So we taught those lessons as he attended FHE in the middle of the day. (He was a night student).  Done.  More interviews, then finally success as he walked out of the stake office with recommend in hand!  A few days later he graduated, then was able to be sealed for Eternity to his sweetheart.
   After they traveled across the country to their new military assignment, they shared the news that they were expecting a child. To us it felt just like another grandchild on the way. Happy day!
   This week we got the sad news that the little daughter was stillborn.  Something happened during labor and her heart stopped beating.  Their hearts are broken but they will survive.
    They named their little girl, Angel.  What a fitting name for a daughter waiting for them in Eternity.  And what a wonderful thing to know--that she is theirs for Eternity.
