What A Lovely Day


 I just love Sundays. Today was a particularly wonderful. After a long week it is always nice to go to church and be uplifted. Today did just that. It was great to meet and interact with the people in the ward and to chat the bishop. The people are so friendly and all have such strong testimonies. 

Kirstin, Emily, Kirsten and I taught the Sunday school class for the 12 turning 13 year olds. The lesson was titled Agency: The Power to Choose. I love teaching lessons like this to remind me of the basics, like agency.

Then in Relief Society we had a fantastic lesson based off of the prophet George Albert Smith. There was one quote in particular that stuck out to me to stew upon. It said, “You’re happiness will be in proportion to your charity and kindness and its your love of those with whom you associate on Earth.” I know that I am sure the happiest when I serve those around me.

After church we went to visit Phyllis’ “adopted” son. He was unfortunately not there, but we mingled with his wife and played with his two children: Hood (2 years old) and Miriam (1 Year old). These kids were absolutely darling. Hood is probably one of the smartest 2 year olds I know. He can maneuver his way around an iPhone no problem and type things into YouTube. He also knows his way around a car without any hesitation. He unlocked the door, opened the door, put the key in the ignition and almost started it. It was comical to watch his face turn completely stunned when the button to lock and unlock the car worked every time. It was like a surprise.

Nevertheless, it was a great day.

Because It’s Sunday Here is another favorite Mormon Message. Enjoy!
