We definitely wanted to attend the temple while we were visiting Kristin, and made plans to do so today. She made arrangements for the kids to stay at a friends near by while the three of us went to serve as proxy for six sealings needed in our family line.
Coincidentally, early this morning before getting ready to go, we received an e-mail from Kiran Nelapati from New Delhi, India. We had met him and his new bride, Sidharthi when they came to the Hong Kong Temple last month to be sealed. He was asking if we could help them complete the sealing for one of Sidharthi's ancestors, which they weren't able to complete in the short time they had in Hong Kong.
We e-mailed him back to tell him his message was quite timely, because we were in fact, going to the temple this very day to do none other than sealings.
A special feeling was present as the three of us knelt at the altar to seal Santhi Devi Chadda to her parents Asha Kagda and Surupi Kagda.
We were happy to be able to help the Nelapatis, and know this was not a coincidence, but rather the Lord's perfect timing.

Added thought: It was nice to hear the brother performing the sealing expressing appreciation to our daughter for her faithful attendance at the temple. It pleases us as parents, to know our children are on the right path.
We also learned today that Brother Taylor who was one of the witnesses, knows Elder and Sister Coffey who recently served here in the Asia Area Office. Small world especially within the church.
