Primary


Hannah's CTR6 Primary teacher sent me this picture of the kids. I guess the lesson was on the resurrection. They look great in their new glasses. Thanks Sandy. Aren't they cute. All boys! Hannah fits in perfectly.

FHE

...or family home evening as normal people would say. Us Mormons have to say too much already so we abbreviate things...
Friend-"What church do you go to?"
Us- "The church of Jesus Christ of Latter day Saints"
But as Hannah and Bethany nicely put it- "the church of God"
At least they have the important part down! I am so grateful for such a loving Heavenly Father. I love to be able to share stories and my testimony with my kids. I know they too will always love God. The girls just love the stories and tonight Bethany recapped one of the stories I told. I was frankly amazed she actually took in the whole story. She even prayed that she too would be able to recognize the Holy Ghost (holy spirit to some). I was so touched that she loves our Heavenly Father at such a young age. I know that I am doing my job as a mother to teach her how to recognize good and bad and when she needs to ask for help, through prayer, from God. I testify to you that if you too would have one special night each week to set aside to teach your family morals, values and righteous things that you will receive blessings from our Heavenly Father. He loves each one of us and if we strive to live righteously we will be able to return to him after this mortal life. (This is not perfection, it is STRIVING for perfection.) I say this in the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.
