Summer Time

Two short journals today.  I still remember sitting in that sacrament meeting where we were greeted as true Christians.

***July 11, 2014 JOURNAL: True Christians
          Sacrament meeting was good.  One of the girls gave a talk and started it, "Good Morning, true Christians." So, I was wondering what it meant to be a true Christian.  According to the bible dictionary, a Christian, is a follower a Christ.  To be a true follower of Christ means to live the gospel.  To truly believe something you have to be living it.  Pres. Hinckley said, the way we act is based on our beliefs.

***July 12, 2014 JOURNAL: How have I felt the love of the Lord through prayer?
          Personal prayer time has become a time of great importance to me.  It is the time when I personally get to talk to the Lord.  I get to tell Him about my day, the good and the hard.  I get to tell Him what struggles are going on and what accomplishments I feel I am making.  I enjoy prayer time because I know my heavenly Father hears me.  I know his is listening to me because I can feel His spirit of comfort and peace when I pray.  But even more than knowing that He hears me, I know that Heavenly Father answers my prayers.  I've seen it happen.  When I'm feeling down I know that I can go to the Lord in payer and that He will help me.

Summer has come and gone for us.  Lloyd only had 2 weeks off from school after ending Kindergarten and beginning first grade.  It is amazing to watch him grow and develop in school.

Pwopwo grows in beauty everyday.  She has a great capacity to love.

Tactac is like a real boy now, so different from being just a baby.

We got to meet Brian and Amanda's Crystal in June.  The babies were so glad to meet their cousin.
