Hanging with Teens

Jentrys summer crush was again in town last week visiting his aunt that lives across the street. His aunt asked if Jentry could get together a few friends and hang out with him and do something fun. Jentry got "a few" friends together and they all went ice skating. They had such a great time! I went to chaperon with one of the other moms (That I absolutely love, adore, look up to, admire... I really could go on and on about that lady but that will have to be another post). It was great just being able to sit there and chat with her for 2.5 hours and get to watch the kids interact with each other. What a bunch of fun kids. I tried to get good pictures but I only had my phone to take pics with and its not that great when you are up in the balcony and they are zooming around the rink.

They had a great time.

(such a player)

They have also gone laser tagging and sledding.

Brinley got to go mini golfing while Jentry was laser tagging. She loved it! It was dark so this is the best pic I could get.

I'm hoping to get them all together to go hang out at my old stomping ground... Classic Skating!

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.
