Aubrey Zemp just returned from her mission to Anaheim, California. She gave an excellent homecoming talk and bore a powerful testimony. At the end of the Sacrament Meeting, Austin said that instead of singing the planned closing hymn (Called to Serve), he had asked Aubrey if she would sing her favorite hymn. He asked her after the Sacrament before she gave her talk if she would sing and what her favorite song was. She chose to sing, "Be Still, My Soul" which was her favorite hymn. She has a beautiful, powerful voice. It was very touching.
Right after Sacrament Meeting, Carolyn Leavitt came up to Austin and said she needed to talk to him right now in his office. She told him that she had a rough week - it was the anniversary of the death of her husband (he had been killed by a chain/tractor accident) and the birthday of her little boy who had died in a snowmobile accident. She was also struggling with her health. And she is in charge of all of the food for Moroni's Quest the next week. She was praying one night and she had the feeling to leave it to Heavenly Father, it would all work out. Sunday morning as she was praying, the song "Be Still, My Soul" came to her mind and she thought how cool it would be if we sang it at church that day. When Aubrey stood up to sing, she felt the overwhelming love of God and that was a special message just to her.
Austin was thankful to have followed the promptings of the Spirit.
