monopolizing testimony meeting


Today three Argyle girls bore their testimony at church.
For Reagan, however, it was the first time EVER. She leaned over to me and said, "I feel like I have something to say but I am scared to go up there." McKinley overheard her and told her that she would feel really good once she did it. So she went up. And sat. And then when it was her turn she ran down again. "Mommy, I forget, what do I say at the end? Oh yeah! In the name......" She ran back up. It went something like this:


Last night we talked about fasting. I can't really skip meals because I get low blood sugar so my mom said I could fast something else besides food. It should be something that I love. I thought of fasting from tv. She said that was a great idea! I know the important thing is that we give something up for awhile. In the name of Jesus Christ Amen.


PRICELESS!!!!!

I thought it was cute how she looked at you and said "My mom said that was a great idea!" You could just tell how much your approval of her idea and her efforts to please Heavenly Father meant to her. You've got some cute girls!

That is so sweet. The fact that she got up there and did it will always be with her.

Sunday was a real good one for my heart as well. But I couldn't bear my testimony in sacrament meeting. I did it in RS instead. We had too many baby blessings. My heart is so full right now. I know you can relate with me.

I love our friendship. Thank you!

Builders vs. Wreckers

Image
A little poem I heard from John Bytheway on a BYU fireside (on BYUTV) today. Makes me stop and go "hmmmmm....." I might have another resolution to add to my growing list..... Builders vs. Wreckers I passed one day through a lonely town And saw men tearing a building down. With a ho-heave-ho and a husky yell They swung at a beam and a side wall fell. I asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled- The kind you’d hire if you had to build?” “Oh no!” he chuckled, “No indeed- The common laborer is all I need.” “Why I can destroy in a day or two What builders have taken weeks to do.” I thought to myself as I went on my way “Which of these rolls have I tried to play? Am I the builder who works with care Strengthening lives by rule and square, Shaping my peers to a well made plan- Helping them do the best they can- Or am I a wrecker who walks around Content with the labor of tearing down?” -Author Unknown

Surprise McKinley!

Image
A week ago, McKinley's best friend, Caty, texted me and asked if she could throw McKinley a surprise birthday party on her birthday.  The girls had been challenged by their Young Women leaders to do a 10 hour project for Individual Worth and she thought it would make a great project to plan a fun party for her! She invited 14 fun friends to join in on the surprise. I wish I would have taken the time to take a picture of the cute chocolate fountain and home made cupcakes she made.  She had blown up about 20 balloons and when McKinley walked in to the house they jumped out and showered her with shredded paper. Then they went swimming.  Yes, in November and NO, they had not heated the pool. kiki and  Lexie   with Emily  and Molly  and Mallory  and Kylie H.  and Kaly   the Lloyd twins and Abbey  Megan  Kaylie W.  Michaela  and Kylie P who had celebrated her birthday with a party the night before.
