Anticipating Jordan's Christmas Day Phone Call


McKelle thought that she would have to be the first to answer the phone when Jordan called today, so she had the phones attached to her wearing them like guns ready to draw.
We had a great phone call tonight. Elder Ames is doing so well, and he is happy. You can certainly tell that he is dedicated to the work and loves it. He wanted us to pass on to all the gratitude he feels for all that has been given to him. He is so grateful.

The Round Egg Chicken


I have one chicken who has laid two round eggs lately. They are quite large. The first one had a soft spot in the shell and broke easily, but the one today seemed to have a good,harder shell.

Our Beautiful Daughters Still At Home With Us





O God, our Eternal Father, as Thy servant I bow before Thee in prayer in behalf of these young people scattered over the earth who are gathered tonight in assemblies everywhere.

Please smile with favor upon them.
Please listen to them as they lift their voices in prayer unto Thee.
Please lead them gently by the hand in the direction they should follow.
Please help them to walk in paths of truth and righteousness and keep them from the evils of the world.
Bless them that they shall be happy at times and serious at times, that they may enjoy life and drink of its fullness.
Bless them that they may walk acceptably before Thee as Thy cherished sons and daughters.
Each is Thy child with capacity to do great and noble things.
Keep them on the high road that leads to achievement.
Save them from the mistakes that could destroy them.
If they have erred, forgive their trespasses and lead them back to ways of peace and progress.

For these blessings I humbly pray with gratitude for them and invoke Thy blessings upon them with love and affection, in the name of Him who carries the burdens of our sins, even the Lord Jesus Christ, amen.

Gordon B. Hinckley, “A Prophet’s Counsel and Prayer for Youth,” Ensign, Jan 2001,

We Thank Thee O God For A Prophet!

Attitude

Attitude Author unknown


There once was a woman who woke up one morning,
looked in the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today!"
So she did and she had a wonderful day.

The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that she had only two hairs on her head.
"H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle today!"
So she did and she had a grand day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror and noticed that she had only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony tail!"
So she did and she had a fun, fun day.

The next day she woke up,
looked in the mirror and noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head. "YAY! she exclaimed,
"I don't have to fix my hair today!"

Attitude is everything.

The Middletown NY Treehouse

Here's Elder Ames & Elder Zwahlen outside the treehouse they have been building. Too bad he wasn't able to finish it before he got transferred. Yesterday he was sent to Harlem and he is very excited. He is an awesome missionary! I can't wait until he gets home and can help me build our backyard shed (or maybe a chicken mansion)
