States Fair.

ANOTHER FIFTH GRADE PROJECT..... beware out there..those who have not been through 5th grade yet. The homework is CRAZY!!! This is Jentry's..lets see, about 5th project since school has started. And this one was a biggie. Everyone had to have a state and do a project on it. She had South Dakota. There were state symbols, maps, flags, brochures, 3d maps (we made a cake flagging all the 69 counties), fake letters to friends after visiting that state. Gosh, theres more then that...but I cant remember.
Anyway, they had them on display this last Friday. I took the boys, and the two boys I babysat to go check out the display. I cant believe some of the other kids' displays. WOW!! I was impressed. I was also impressed with Jentry. She had a mandatory 600 pts to get. And then 1000 if you wanted an A. She ended up with 1650. Way to go Jentry!!!

I belong

Elder Jeffrey R. Holland in speaking of the divinity of The Book of Mormon said: For 179 years this book has been examined and attacked, denied and deconstructed, targeted and torn apart like perhaps no other book in modern religious history—perhaps like no other book in any religious history. And still it stands. Failed theories about its origins have been born and parroted and have died—from Ethan Smith to Solomon Spaulding to deranged paranoid to cunning genius. None of these frankly pathetic answers for this book has ever withstood examination because there is no other answer than the one Joseph gave as its young unlearned translator. In this I stand with my own great-grandfather, who said simply enough, “No wicked man could write such a book as this; and no good man would write it, unless it were true and he were commanded of God to do so.” I testify that one cannot come to full faith in this latter-day work—and thereby find the fullest measure of peace and comfort in these, our times—until he or she embraces the divinity of the Book of Mormon and the Lord Jesus Christ, of whom it testifies. I ask that my testimony of the Book of Mormon and all that it implies, given today under my own oath and office, be recorded by men on earth and angels in heaven. I hope I have a few years left in my “last days,” but whether I do or do not, I want it absolutely clear when I stand before the judgment bar of God that I declared to the world, in the most straightforward language I could summon, that the Book of Mormon is true, that it came forth the way Joseph said it came forth and was given to bring happiness and hope to the faithful in the travail of the latter days.
