My Thoughts From Conference

While listening to General Conference, and praying about my nine children, this thought kept ringing in my mind: So, I'm letting you know what the Lord let me know:

God not only loves you, He trusts You!  He trusts you to do what you covenanted to do!

Later, I read these quotes, "It is not by chance that you have been reserved to come to earth in this last dispensation...Your birth was foreordained in the eternities..." "You were tutored by Him before you came into this life.  He helped you understand and accept that you would have trials, tests, and opportunities PERFECTLY CHOSEN just for you.  You learned that our Father had a plan of happiness to get you safely through those trials and that you would help bring others safely through theirs.  This plan is marked by covenants with God.  It is our free choice whether we make and keep those covenants..."  "Heavenly Father taught you before you were born about the experiences you would have as you left Him and came to earth.  You were taught that the way back home to Him would not be easy.  He knew that it would be too hard for you to make the journey without help."

But, He TRUSTS you!  That thought was comforting to me.  He trusts us to keep our covenants.

We have just been transferred.  Jolyn is now the secretary to the mission president and Val will be taking care of 90 apartments for the mission.  We are in training starting today.  The Lillywhites who do those jobs now are going home the end of May.  President Keyes had to get permission from the Quorum of the 12 to make the move.  We got the news yesterday.

Ok just so you all know I have put all the pictures of the Christmas that we had together in 2010 in Christy's dropbox she set up for the family.  There you go Christy it only took me four years.  Just let me know if you need anything else.  I may try to do it a big faster next time.  Your welcome!!!

So you probably won't be able to see this very well but I was sorting out my pictures and came upon these.  I put them together in one long picture and here they are, oldest to youngest.  Oh by the way Rem and Tam, I didn't know if you wanted to do the family reunion scrapbook this year or if you wanted me to do it.  I will be happy to do it.  Kati did her year and it looks great.  So whatever you want just let me know.  Sometimes its nice because you know the most about it but I will be happy to do it if you don't want to.  Email me and let me know.

All Hail The Champion!

I would be remiss to not congratulate Kirk for winning the tournament challenge this year.  It was over for a while, I guess, since no one got any points in the last two rounds.  Needless to say, there were several upsets this year.  However, it was fun and hopefully you all enjoyed watching your teams lose.  And a quick shout-out to Tamara who declared her game to be over after round 1, but ended up taking 2nd place.

Atonement

"The ATONEMENT has the POWER to CHANGE OUR VERY NATURE."

Those who think, "that's just the way I am," are denying His Atonement.  He loves us so much that He suffered intense pain just to know how to succor us individually and bring us through whatever our trials.  But, He can't force us to be healed.  We must CHOOSE to give Him our WHOLE soul.  Then, and only then, can He give His Whole Power in our behalf.  Those who are choosing to stand and flee from all evils are truly changing.  They don't look back!  They are being healed!  CHOOSE to be HEALED.

The Answer...

The question: Boys, what do we need to do to make it so you lift up the seat before going to the bathroom?
