Since Last Time

Where did we leave off? Oh yeah, October...

Since then Jentry has turned 16. *JawDrop* I cant believe I have a sixteen year old. Where did the years from her being a fluffy, curly, blond headed girl that couldn't keep her power wheels jeep on the sidewalk to being a beautiful, smart, helpful, loyal, young lady that wants to drive my car down a street every chance she gets, go? I don't know. If I had to use one word to sum up Jentry it would be AMAZING. I love her guts.

Ty turned 8! He is getting baptized this coming week and he is so excited. He started scouts and he just loves it. Looks forward to it every week. He has gone to two pack nights so far and has earned his Bear badge. He was very proud of that. He cant wait to earn more. I'm not much of a scout person but I have a feeling I'm going to have to be. Ty is my super duper smart kid. Everything he can read, he will.

Brinley is anxiously awaiting her 12th birthday and starting Young Women's. She has New Beginnings tonight and she is super excited.

Chase is Chase and is getting more attitude by the minute. Which kind of cracks me up and kinda makes me mad. That boy will do what he wants, when he wants and the only thing that gets his attention is when I threaten "Time Out In The Basement."

We had a great Christmas! Got super spoiled by everyone but I felt like we were running from house to house and never had enough time to spend at each place. I will have to figure that out better for next year.

We are impatiently waiting for the weather to warm up. We have lots of plans for this summer! Spring break we are heading to Arizona to see my Best Friend and her family. I have never been there and I am so excited. She's only lived there for the last 15 years.... So I think its about time I go. The day school gets out for the summer we are going to go to Lava Hot Springs in Idaho. We are really looking forward to that too! Warm weather cannot come soon enough!

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.
