Fast Sunday!

The missionaries in our ward came to dinner at our house last Sunday and challenged us to fast about who we should share our beliefs with and told us that they would follow-up with us today. I was so thrilled that Christian and Meliah both came up with names of friends of theirs that they would like to share with. We had to give Elizabeth a few suggestions but she seems so willing and ready to share. I am so blessed to have children that are obedient and have the desire to choose the right. I feel humbled, honored and many times inadequate to be their mom. They teach me so much by their examples. They have so much faith in Aaron and I. We are trying to change the attitude about fasting in our home. Having a definate purpose as a family was a strengthening experience and we didn't hear as many complaints.

Our three cuties before church today

Tonight, Elizabeth got out our Friend magazine and found "The Proclamation to the World" and said, "Here is the paper that the lady told us about." I was in primary today and knew that the leader in charge of sharing time had asked the children to read that page with their families. Instead of reading the scriptures tonight, we read, "The Proclamation to the World". It is an incredible teaching tool! So many questions were brought up by the kids about Chastity, being together forever and what genders are. Today, I am grateful for the amazing plan of the gospel and for the time that so many put into magnifying their callings. No one really knows how important the little things they do rub off on others and touch their lives and families. I want to become more aware of the little things that my children say that bring the spirit into our home and help us become better.
