He is the light of the world.
He carries me through my toughest days, inspire me to be a better person, helps me make the right choices and keeps me on the strait and narrow path. He lights the way.
Because of Him I have hope and eternal life and joy and love. He is my Savior, my King, my hero. Because of Him I have understanding about this life, why I am here and a glimpse of heaven and the future where all my tears will be wiped away.
I was up at 5am, an hour late, to prepare for the day. Today our Primary lesson is on the gift of the Holy Ghost. I came to the conclusion that I need to do more work earlier in the week.
I packed my Primary bag with: cookies, Playdough, plastic eggs, pictures, my computer for music and a video, plus the lesson outline.
The theme for sacrament meeting today was Young Women's Personal Progress. The youth speakers was Ciarra Armijo who spoke on Individual Worth. "I am of infinite worth with my own divine missin, which I will strive to fulfill."
Cammie Soderquist - Virtue - "I will prepare to enter the temple and remain pure and worth. My thoughtsand actions will be based on high moral standards.
Robyn Rogers - Divine Nature - I have inherited divine qualities, which I will striv to develop. Only through Jesus Christ can we reach our divine potential.
The Sunbeam teacher, Nancy Tolman, was absent today and Sister Casto asked if her three Sunbeams could come with us. Since we only had six of our children here today we thought we could handle it so I said yes.
Before getting into the lesson on The Holy Ghost we talked about spring time and how new things are born in the spring. We showed bird eggs and baby birds and talked about how Heavenly Father blesses our lives. Later, after the lesson, the kids made nests with their Playdough. Shade is not pictured here. He was having a bad day and needed to be with his mom.

James and I always come home from church exhausted. He left immediately with Dave to go home teaching to the Bingham's. I fixed some lunch: leftover bbq beef and a Chinese ginger sesame salad. I worked on my blog, took a short nap and then had interviews with Ben and Max about the Book of Mormon.
James came home, ate, and laid down for a looooong nap. I finally had to get him up after 6pm.
My interviews, so far, with Alex, Ben, and Max regarding the Book of Mormon have gone very well. Last week I interviewed Alex and he shared one of his favorite scriptures: Mosiah 4: 19-26.
Alex
Ben's favorite scripture was
Alma 7:14
Ben
Max's favorite scripture:
2 Nephi 31:20

I am so proud of these boys!

I read to James, per his request, from our book:
