A Real Man

A real man is a woman's best friend. He will never let her down. He will reassure her when she feels insecure and comfort her after a bad day. He will make her feel like the most beautiful woman in the room and will enable her to be confident, sexy, seductive, and invincible. No wait... sorry... I'm thinking of Dr Pepper. It’s Dr. Pepper that does all that. Never mind. I thought I was missing a man in my life . . .it's Dr Pepper that I miss. Water only for me.

Children of God

"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God". Elder Orson F. Whitney
Yesterday at church a darling little girl sang a medley of 3 primary songs. She started with I am a Child of God then a verse of Teach Me to Walk in the Light and closed with If the Savior Stood Beside Me. I loved it! If we know that we are truly His children and we try to gain more light and knowledge, it really does become easier to be like Him and do what He would do.

E likes church now

For the past year or so E has struggled with Welcoming Sabbath mornings.  Honestly, I was not looking forward to forcing her to church for the next 15 years.  Today, she loved it!!  She actually asked if we could go back again tomorrow.  I'm thrilled!!  It turns out, the little girls in her class have befriended her and she wants to spend more time with them.

While I miss the members of the branch in Malaysia, I am really glad that we are back in our home ward here.  We need to be nurtured and loved.  There are plenty of friends for all of us here.
