Old Testament
Deuteronomy 32-33
32 Israel will sing the song of Moses and acclaim: God speaks to heaven and earth; the children of Israel were known in the premortal life; God chose them in this life; they forgot the Rock of their salvation; He sent terror, a sword, and vengeance upon them; there is no God beside Him - Moses will be gathered to his people.
Old Testament Favorite Scriptures
Deuteronomy 4:29-31
29 But if from thence thou shalt seek the Lord thy God, thou shalt find him, if thou seek him with all thy heart and with all thy soul.
30 When thou art in tribulation, and all these things are come upon thee, even in the latter days, if thou turn to the Lord thy God, and shalt be obedient unto his voice;
31 (For the Lord thy God is a merciful God;) He will not forsake thee, neither destroy thee, nor forget the covenant of thy fathers which He sware unto them.

Precious Gifts from God

" Life can be filled with faith, joy, happiness, hope, and love when we exercise the smallest amount of real faith in Christ."
Happy Easter
The Easter bunny came for Darrel and Trina's kids this morning. They all got swim suits, towels, and either sandals or flipflops, and lots of candy.
Yesterday I learned that Addy does not like flamingos. Luckily the flamingo bathing suit belongs to Lola and the flamingo towel belongs to Ruby. Addy got a towel with pineapples on it. She loves pineapples. I couldn't resist showing her this picture:
On Instagram their heads were moving.
They do have weird heads and beaks.
Before conference started Darrel fixed us a big breakfast: French toast, fresh strawberries, biscuits, and eggs. It was a great way to start the day!
A birds eye view.
Conference began at 9:00 a.m. Here are a few photos I took and a brief summary of the speakers:

During the first session the kids played with Legos. Darrel made them put them away before the second session. Also, as part of their Easter gifts they got a web swing which Darrel hung between sessions. I loved what Rowan made with the Legos. It helped me to know that he was thinking about the Savior.
Such a sweet boy!
Addy is trying to re-construct Hogwarts.
James dressed in his Sunday clothes,
taking notes.
It looks like he lost his concentration.
Checking the new swing out.
Peppa pig and her family. Dad needs a shave.
Lola with her new swimsuit and goggles.
One of Addy's April Fool's pranks.
Smiley faces with mustaches on all the faces in

But not before saying goodbye to these cuties.
