Lessons on Pohnpei and Lloyd's Graduation Part Two

It's great that as I come across these names and events some of it is still so clear in my mind, like I could still make the walk from our apartment up to Menrose's house.

***June 30, 2004 JOURNAL: Need to Focus
          We met with Solitre today.  We learned that her husband is stopping her from coming to church and from getting baptized.  I kept thinking to myself, these people must be something special because Satan is trying so very hard to keep them away from the truth.
          Found someone new, Menrose.  It was kind of sketchy at the beginning, but when we invited her to read the Book of Mormon and gave her a copy, she got really excited.  We see her again on Saturday.
          Had a really great conversation with Brother Alfones.  It was actually a discussion with questions going back and forth.  So good.

Here are the links to the video we took at Lloyd's graduation.  He did great on his speaking parts and we really liked the songs.

One of the videos won't load.  I'll try and get it up with the next post.

Here's the rest of my letter to President Pulsipher

***June 26,2004 LETTER TO PRESIDENT: Part Finale
President Pulsipher,
          I'm almost half way through my 30 days of studying 2nd Nephi 9.  I can honestly say that in the past two weeks of reading I've gained a deeper appreciation for the atonement and that I've learned something new everyday.  Verse 18 talks about enduring the cross of the world and despising the shame of it.  I thought about that for awhile.  About how many things, in the more recent times, have become "acceptable" in mainstream American culture, that was looked down upon 50 years ago, or even sooner than that.  And about how the world puts more and more pressure on people to tolerate and accept such notions.  Teachings that go against gospel teachings are everywhere.

Quote to Sister Pulsipher:
          Do not be one of those described as one who tries to serve the Lord without offending the devil. -Marion G. Romney

Pictures from Lloyd's graduation from Seagull Pre-Plus Preschool on 28 June 2013.

After graduation we asked Lloyd where he wanted to eat lunch, he said Costco!  Love this kid.
