Baby Sitters

These young women are so awesome! I had meetings before church and they came just to watch Lilia and sit with me at church. I did not have to worry about anything. They took her outside after church and followed her everywhere. She fell asleep and took a good nap. I am so thankful for these young women.

2nd Visit to Nursery: I Will Share

Lilia is not old enough (18 months) but she got to visit nursery. I know Lilia will love nursery when she is old enough.  "I will share" was the lesson.  I think they helped her color!  A huge thanks to the nursery leaders! Joyce and Brent O.

Church Youth Trip-June 2008

I got the privilege of going with the youth (16-18 years old) on a church trip to Palmyra, NY and Kirtland, OH in June. What a great trip. Here are some of the pictures I took and some of my random thoughts.



This is in Kirtland. The youth were great. We had a good time touring. The youth were with the stake, the rest of us adults were all together.



Here are the Bishops. What a great group of men!



We asked the men to take a picture of us and they would not tell us when they were taking the picture. Hence, I have three pictures that are all crazy!



This is the group of youth I was with at the Palmyra Temple. It was a great experience. It was so peaceful and quiet and the view was so beautiful.



We got to go to the Sacred Grove. The youth were told to be quiet and reverent. They were to walk around, pray and read their scriptures. It was nice to stretch my legs and be still and enjoy nature. I now know a little bit of why Joseph Smith decided to pray in these woods.



I did not know this at the time but these are wild roses.



Here is the whole group of youth on top of the Hill Cumorah in NY. What a great trip. I took a lot of pictures but can not post them all.

I am very thankful that I was able to go and spend time with the youth and strengthen my testimony of the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am thankful for my ancestors who traveled through these places and the trials they bore because of their testimonies. I hope to live up to the legacy they left me.
