One more picture from yesterday's trip to the Black River.
How true!
Zach and Julie Turvey spoke in sacrament meeting today. They are probably in their late 20's and he has an awesome English accent. They spoke about testimony and continuing revelation. Both are returned missionaries and they both have deep and abiding testimonies based on the Book of Mormon. Zach read the Book of Mormon 18 times while he was on his mission and each time when he was finished he would kneel down and pray to know if it was true. He said he received a confirmation every time. It is refreshing to see young people with such powerful testimonies of the gospel. They are Ben's Sunday School teachers. Lucky Ben.
We only had four children attend our Primary class today: Ryder, Brooklyn, Taylor and Callie. Shade was there but he was in one of his "moods" and refused to come to class.
This is Taylor she told us all about her pet owl. When I asked her dad about it he said: "You can't really believe everything she says."
She has quite an imagination.
After church we came home and had beans for lunch and then took a nap.
Evan came down to play with Joshua but he had to read his scriptures first. While Joshua was reading from the Book of Mormon, Evan read from The Friend.
At 5:30 we attended the Chandler Stake seminary graduation. We sat by Kim, Brian and Joe. We are proud of Joe for filling all the requirements to graduate from seminary. It was a very nice program and their were 44 youth that graduated, including E.J. Castillo. Mitch Jones came down and spoke to us which made James feel really good. They went to college together and were on the same wrestling team at MCC for a year.
The highlight of the program was a musical number entitled" Until He Comes." It was a duet and the girl, Moira Leon, had an absolutely beautiful voice. Joe says she is in choir and he is friends with her.
Afterwards we drove to the Galveston stake center and attended our stakes seminary graduation. We had five youth graduate from our ward, which was nice, but we were really there for Seth.
Erik, Aaron, Seth, Kit, and Kit with his best buddy, Alex.
Our stake is quite a bit smaller than the Chandler stake. We only had 22 graduates. I am proud of Michael, Ben, and Joe and Alex. They all read the D&C this year which was the assigned text for the year.
Addy posted this picture of Lola on Instagram and I thought it was so cute I had to post it here.
