Quick Thought

I was listening to this talk today (Have We Not Reason to Rejoice? - Elder Uchtdorf) and really enjoyed the conclusion and thought I would share it:

"My dear brothers and sisters, there will be days and nights when you feel overwhelmed, when your hearts are heavy and your heads hang down. Then, please remember, Jesus Christ, the Redeemer, is the Head of this Church. It is His gospel. He wants you to succeed. He gave His life for just this purpose. He is the Son of the living God. He has promised:
“Come unto me, all ye that labour and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest” (
Matthew 11:28).
“For the mountains shall depart and the hills be removed, but my kindness shall not depart from thee” (
3 Nephi 22:10). “I have mercy on thee, saith the Lord thy Redeemer” (3 Nephi 22:8).
My dear friends, the Savior heals the broken heart and binds up your wounds (see
Psalm 147:3). Whatever your challenges may be, wherever you live on this earth, your faithful membership in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and the divine powers of the gospel of Jesus Christ will bless you to endure joyfully to the end.
Of this I bear witness with all my heart and mind in the sacred name of Jesus Christ, amen."


It was a good reminder for me and it is a great talk. I love you all!!

FHE @ Copperton Park

I thought this picture was the best, at least of the ones I had. Maybe Melanie and Jill got better ones but I like this because of the personalities that are shown. (Will and Joel would rather be playing; Seth, Josie, and Nate are just happy to be there and Dan and Rosie don't really know what is going on.) Nate has the 'Jones eyebrows,' awesome. Just thought I would share. I miss the Dunn Family already!
