As most of you know, I do a lot of family research and I try to distribute temple names to family members and friends so that everybody can share in doing the temple work. I have tried to keep track of who has what names, but I had so many that I lost track of quite a few. Over a hundred names disappeared for a few years. Slowly, I have been able to find most of them and get them back. Many have been reprinted, too. To catch up, I quit having temple cards made and I have turned in about 500 names this year directIy to the temple for any patrons to do. I was getting closer to feeling totally organized.
Then I got an email from a girl in Arizona. She had found this blog site by googling my name on the internet. In the email she sent me, she told me that she had gone to a thrift store to donate some items and she found nine of my temple cards scattered on the ground, in Mesa, Arizona. My name and Oceanside address were on the cards. The girl just happened to be LDS and she knew what those cards were and figured that I would like them back. So she made the effort to find me. I gave her my new address. I was so excited to get those cards back! And she was excited that she found me. How the cards got there is a mystery. They were gone for 3 years. And how this girl found me is a miracle (with help of technology).
I have had so many wonderful miracles and answers to prayers in so many different areas. God watches over us all and loves us all.
