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!
