More Pictures

It was my Mom's birthday.  My sister wanted updated photos of each family for my Mom's walls.  I didn't like the one we took in December.  Audrey wasn't looking at the camera.  Paul's parents were in town so we snapped a few more pictures.  Paul's Dad has always been really good with a camera.  I'm glad they were here.  If it wasn't for Grant I never would have been able to get smiles.  You can easily tell that Grant is behind the camera trying to make Audrey laugh in one of these pictures and not in the other.  

Yesterday was a beautiful day.  I was asked to speak in church.  I can't tell you how many prayers were answered in the process.  It went really well and I know it wasn't because of me.  I spoke about the Book of Mormon.  

One quote that touched me was by President Ezra Taft Benson.  He said:

“I feel certain that if, in our homes, parents will read from the Book of Mormon prayerfully and regularly, both by themselves and with their children, the spirit of that great book will come to permeate our homes and all who dwell therein. The spirit of reverence will increase; mutual respect and consideration for each other will grow. The spirit of contention will depart. Parents will counsel their children in greater love and wisdom. Children will be more responsive and submissive to that counsel. Righteousness will increase. Faith, hope, and charity—the pure love of Christ—will abound in our homes and lives, bringing in their wake peace, joy, and happiness”.

I want these promises to be fulfilled in my life.  I love the Book of Mormon and I know it's true.  

I hope all of you out in blog world had a good Sabbath too!
