Independence Day

We took another trip to Parowan (we really do love that place!!) for the 4th of July. Theres just something about being in a small town for a parade. Instead of getting handed anti-mormon literature (what we got last time we went to the parade in Provo) we got taffy! Instead of seeing awesome floats (I did miss that part) we saw huge tractors. We had a great time with Scotts family! Most of his family came down and we had such a great time letting the kids run amuck wherever they wanted and the adults just chilling eating good food and having good chats!!! Wayne (My brother in laws dad) was the Grand Marshal of the parade. So that was pretty neat!

Pretty Boys!

So LOUD!

We also got our share of hair cuts! Poor Jamie...She is too nice. Everyone wanted their hair done and she was so nice to do it! We love you Jamie!!! Brinley got her hair CHOPPED! And I'm so glad. It was such a rats nest and Ive been trying to talk her into getting it cut for a few months now. Finally she took the plunge and it is SO stinking cute. She just loves it!

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.
