The Hendricksen's: Rough'n it.

Rough'n it.

The other night the kids and I had a camp out in our back yard. They had been dying to use the new tent we bought and it was finally 'warm' enough to sleep in the back yard.

The girls and I were able to put the tent up by ourselves. We were pretty impressed with our mad super woman skills.

We had a great time!!! But there were a few things that I learned.

#1. Make sure to turn the sprinklers off before you pitch a tent in the back yard. Or you will be running like a mad woman across the grass to turn them off.

#2. Never drink 2 water bottles before you go to sleep. Or you will be AGAIN dashing across the lawn like a mad woman at 1:30 a.m.

#3 Spanish Fork wind is loud. As is every diesel truck and train that goes by.

#4. Ty tells THE funniest ghost stories EVER! That boy was cracking me up so much. Jentry had a stomach ache from laughing so much. He impressed me with his vocabulary. He was telling me that most people think that his story was just a "myth" but it wasn't...

#5 I need an air mattress.

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.
