First day of School

I cant believe my Jentry is in 7th grade. JR HIGH!!! I was JUST in Jr High. Ok...so not JUST...but it feels like it. I had to sneak pictures out the window while she was getting on the bus. I didn't want to embarrass her TOO MUCH. Even though the whole summer I threatened to spend the first day of school with her. And can you believe she didn't want me to? I couldn't believe it myself.

Brinley is in the THIRD grade this year. I remember third grade so well. I had Mrs Wilkinson...and she was NOT my favorite. Brinley was nervous because this year she has a male teacher. She was scared he was going to be mean. But luckily she LOVES him!!

After school they came home to a big cookie. Jentrys is a 7 and Brinleys is a 3. Just in case you cant tell. I never said I was a baker.

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.
