Promptings of the Spirit by Elder Gary E. Stevenson was so timely for me. I revisited this message when I was in the thick of Christmas preparations. I was up late night after night trying to finish scrapbooks for my kids. It is a project of love and I am so grateful for them (and …
A couple weeks ago, Mark was released from his calling as a teacher in Primary for Jacob’s class and accepted the calling to be the pianist in Primary. This is a first for him and he is sad to no longer be teaching but excited for the opportunity to play the piano more.
