Sunday Sept. 18

It was a nice Sunday today.

Cass and Elsie went up and sang for the ward choir.

No I didn't go up.

Baby steps......

Elsie was so cute up there...being such a big girl!

Next week is our primary program and she says she can get up there and say her part, no problem.

Cass was cute up there too.

She holds the music for her and Sierra, it's such a sweet sight.

But eve cuter is when we get to church and Elsie runs up to Sierra and they talk and smile until it is time for church to start.

They are just the sweetest friends :)

Cass taught our Beehives lesson and she did a great job.

It was about keeping the Sabbath day Holy.

After church our Home Teachers came over and taught us about the first great commandment....to LOVE!

It was a great message to hear.

Then all of us girls went to choir practice while the boys stayed home and made dinner.

Port read to dad while he prepared the chicken cordon bleu :)

After dinner we cleaned up and called Gramps.

We had a freak rain storm pass over us that took about 20 seconds.

It was so cool, and so pretty!

Then we played some badminton and volleyball.

This Sunday we listened to the talk Choices, by President Monson.

It is a short and sweet talk....but full of amazing stuff.

Our Prophet is so amazing :)

He talked about how our choices determine our destiny.

And that we know what our goal is...our goal is to attain Celestial Glory.

So all our choices we make should reflect that!

But how wonderful it is that we have Repentance so that we can course correct when we need to.

And we will need to!

He says if we are choosing Christ, we will have made the correct choice.

Another favorite quote was when he said for us to have the courage to defy the consensus!

Courage!

Brent was talking about a program he watched honoring war heroes.

How important it was that they had Courage in the battles they were fighting.

The same with us.....we must have courage through these battles we face.

Some of them seem even more brutal then being on a battlefield!

Have courage!

We will make it home!
