The Agony in the Garden

by Frans Schwartz

The priest who spoke at Frans Schwartz's funeral said "his art was divinely endowed and seemed worthier than many a sermon."

 

Instead of going to our church, Emmy and Jared went to Darrel ad Trina's ward so Emmy could go to class with Addy.  Before they left for church and then Texas, they read scriptures together:



 

James and I spent the morning preparing for our Primary lesson on the Priesthood.  How do you teach four year olds about the priesthood? 

 

I bore my testimony in fast and testimony meeting and so did Sheri.

We had ten kids in our Primary class, five girls and five boys: Taylor, Ivy, Brielle, Brooklyn, Callie, Liam, Ryder, Malachi, Isaiah, and Shade.  Sheri came in to help us.  At one point James had four little boys in the bathroom all at once. 

It was hard, but we did it!  We were exhausted afterwards and came home and took a two hour nap. 

I guess Stacy hurt her back yesterday or last night and didn't come to church.  Ian and Alex weren't there either. 

 

Evan started reading the illustrated Book of Mormon's and read three today.  Sheri said he had lots of questions.  The 4th book was at Darrel and Trina's so James and I drove over to get it.  As soon as we returned Sheri texted me that Evan needed book 4.  This kid is on fire!

 

James and I broke our fast around 5pm.  I lasted about 22 hours and James 28. 

 

We had some fun news today.  Adam tried out for a community play last week with his friend Kaitlyn Booth and ended up getting the male lead.  The name of the play is Pirates and he has to grow a beard.  Congratulations Adam! 

 

Michael tried to give his friend Alexis a Book of Mormon and a picture of the Gilbert temple today.  He told her, when he handed her the temple picture: "Here, take this, it's where we are going to get married someday."  Way to go Michael!
