The Hendricksen's: Memorial Day

Memorial Day

So the Sunday night before Memorial Day we were laying in bed after our Sunday nap and Scott started talking about how he needed a haircut. I said, "Well lets go to Jamie's...we have nothing better to do." So we hopped in the car and drove 2.5 hours for a hair cut. That's how much we like our beautician!

Since we were there for Memorial Day we went to Cedar to see Scotts grandpa's grave. We met his grandma and Aunt Beth there. It was fun to get to hear a few little stories about the people that are buried here. I tried to snap a picture of Scotts grandma without her seeing but she looked right at me. CAUGHT! It turned out to be a cute picture though.

Since we just dropped in on Greg and Jamie they put us right to work planting the garden. The boys are excited to go back in October for some pumpkins!

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.
