*** I miss our monthly family picture. However, my Sundays have changed a lot with my calling and, sadly, family pictures have not been happening. So instead, you get this nice, moody picture that we took at Rocky Mountain National Park last summer. *** Elder Kevin W. Pearson shared a beautiful and thought-provoking message about …
Power of the Covenant Path
Lydia was asked to give a talk in Primary. At first, I must admit, I really didn’t know what to do. I was grateful that they wanted to include Lydie but unsure about how to help her with this. I asked Sarah if she would help Lydia and she was thrilled! This talk was tender …
Come and See
Jacob was asked to give a talk in Primary back in January. I am so proud of this boy. Talking in front of others is very intimidating for him but Jacob never ceases to amaze me with his strength. Here is his talk so that we can remember his testimony right now. “In the New …

Jesus Christ Is the Strength of Youth
Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf’s talk was inspiring and uplifting and I loved it. I worry that it might be cast aside as “only for the youth” but I believe it is for each and every one of us. He may address the youth at times, but I know I needed this message as well. There …
Trust in the Lord
“Trust in the Lord with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.” PROVERBS 3:5-6 These three sweeties were able to participate in their Primary program earlier this month and they did so wonderful. There is something absolutely beautiful in hearing …
