On Saturday, a lot of members from the Footscray Ward went up to the Melbourne Temple to do baptisms for the dead; it's been a while. After which I went to a Network Twentyone presentation about financial freedom. If you would like to know more about this, feel free to email me at

. Sunday come, a few members went down to watch a musical production on The Garden portraying Jesus Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane.
So we organised a temple trip to do some baptisms and did some family files. Family files are different to the temple files and done in a slightly different way. Because of this, the trip took a longer than we thought, but it was great to see the youth and young adults attend this day.
So that's our temple with Angel Moroni at the top facing the direction of where Zion will be built; in Mossouri. Some of us then went out for a late lunch together, which I later went to Network Twentyone. I met a nice young man named Trent who's doing his first years at Melbourne University and he is a very intelligent man; I wish him all the best of luck with his upcoming plans he has.
The Garden, and Easter story. What could we learn about live, about ourselves, about the nature of repentance, faith, hope and love if the Garden of Gethsemane were to tell the story? How would it change us if we were near the Saviour in the Garden? There was a narrator who could explain what was happening and the singers who would sing the act to give the story. Unfortunately there were microphone problems so it presented a problem with regards to hearing them, but they sung well and strong. It was unfortunate the narrator didn't care about the fact that there was no microphones and people couldn't hear him well and continued to read normally. This gave a lot of people guess work on what we were trying to learn and understand. Overall, it was a great production and a lot of effort was put into it. We now have our own celebrity in our ward, Matthew, who we deem as, the silent singer.
