Friday Night Out...

Why I Believe...

Elder and Sister Tefteller gave a presentation at our Friday 

Night Out fireside.  They are a senior couple in our mission. 

He is the Area Medical Advisor.  They often times will 

substitute at the Visitors' Center and Liberty Jail when needed.

They started the evening by singing a duet for the opening 

hymn, "Abide With Me; 'Tis Eventide" First, Sister Tefteller 

told stories of her life and how she acquired a strong testimony 

of the gospel.  She shared a story of when she was a single mom 

and was asked to come up and bear her testimony at a Stake 

Conference and she ended up getting permission to sing the

hymn, "I Stand All Amazed".  Neil A. Maxwell was a visiting 

apostle at the conference.  After the conference Elder Maxwell 

asked her why she was single and she told of her divorce.  And 

he commended her for her faith.  She said, "Oh, you know, I'm

just plugging along."  He responded, "No Sister, you are lighting

the way!"  She said she would never forget that experience and

it has been a strength to her since then.  She then sang, "I Stand 

All Amazed", which is one of my favorite hymns!  Elder Tefteller 

then stood and told experiences in his own life that gave him 

the strong testimony he has today.  He bore a strong witness 

of the Savior and of His doctrine and then closed with playing 

the guitar and singing all verses of the hymn, 

"A Poor Wayfaring Man of Grief".  Great meeting!

Here's George and I with Sister and Elder Tefteller.  They have 

become our very good friends.  They are so much fun and so

willing to serve wherever they are needed!  She's a great 

cook and they love to have a monthly FHE for all the senior 

couples and she cooks a wonderful dinner for them each time!

It was a windy, rainy day!  I look like it!! LOL!
