Pumpkin Carving.

We arent much for pumpkin carving. Some of our neighbors really go out... but we are excited to get a smiley face that looks like a smiley face out of our pumpkins. This year we didnt disappoint. We got 4 whole faces! We are so proud!!

This is how it goes... First we all get a picture with our pumpkin...we want to remember how they were...nice, round, pretty, delicious...

Then we use a sharpie and make sure our faces are just right. We dont wanna mess these babies up! Then dad helps us carve them!

Then we marvel at our work. Dont be jealous. We can teach you how to carve pumpkins just like the Hendricksens!!

Then its time for a little halloween cookie making. That goes off without a hitch too!

After they are baked we find out we have no red food coloring to make orange frosting. So yellow will have to do!

We make sure to get just the right amount of frosting on! Look at that cookie...what could be better then frosting with a little bit of cookie? NOTHING!

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.
