gratitude #13

An answered prayer before I'd really known what I was asking:

"The Holy Ghost satisfies and fills up every longing of the human heart, and fills up every vacuum.  When I am filled with that Spirit, . . . my soul is satisfied."     

(Eliza R. Snow as quoted by Sister Thompson in October conference)

Sarah and Allie are amazing at preparing and giving talks.  I've been amazed at how calmly they do it and then how good they are considering they have little if any help. Kit stresses more about it, but she's finally brave enough to give them and did such a good job this summer (I wrote it, but she had it mostly memorized and figured out that she loves giving talks) that they asked her to give hers in the program and she was excited to do it. Charity on the other hand is terrified to do anything, but she did her part in the program (with her eyes closed like her teacher suggested), so there's hope.

It sure make life easy for me!

I love Will's reason for serving a mission--"giving thanks" for his blessings!

Our church is amazing!  There are the most amazing videos out there right now.  Amazing people.  Amazing technology.  Amazing ways to share that the gospel has been restored!

I love a digital piano!  It can be turned down so it's fun to listen to little girls practice instead of torture!  And when really needed they can plug in the ear buds and practice without us hearing a thing.  =)

Marci was only going to come for a few days and just keeps staying.  We've loved having her and her kids!  It's fun to have someone to talk to and Charity and Abby have had fun playing together.  I especially like how she does dishes and sweeps the floor.  =)  And Hyrum's smiles are amazing!
