Family Mail Box


Years ago when Scott and I were teaching primary we sent the kids home from class with a "Family Mailbox". They were to take the Mailbox home and write letters of kindness to other family members and place them in the mailbox. Then get together as a family and read them. We kept a mailbox for our own family. Tyler loves to write letters and leave them in the mailbox. Today he wrote a cute letter and drew a picture for Scott and I. If you can't read the letter it said, Dear Mom and Dad, I know that we lived in heaven together. The picture he drew is of our family in heaven and our family on the earth. He is sooo cute. It made our day!

Changes

Doesn't it always seem like when things are going too smoothly and you are comfortable with life something changes? I think it's the Lords way of keeping us on our toes, and giving us more blessings. I got a new calling at church as the Primary President. I am super excited, and the ladies that are in my Presidency are doing such a great job. Thanks to the old Presidency, everything was already in place for us to continue on. (I miss my old Presidency. They truly became my best friends. I miss meeting with them every week.) You wouldn't think that it would be that big of a change since I was a counselor before, but Michelle (the former president) did so much work. Things that I didn't even realize. I am feeling like I am getting the hang of it a little better. It helps to have great primary teachers and the best primary kids.

Tyler's Baptism



Tyler had his special day. It was wonderful to see him get baptized. His testimony has grown and it has been great to see him learn and love the gospel. Tyler had his Grandpa and his Uncle Shane speak and they both did a wonderful job. The spirit was with us. After his baptism we had everyone come over to our house to eat. It was a wonderful to celebrate Tyler's baptism with so many loved ones.
