I am proud to say that all who were at the cabin attended sacrament meeting today in the Vernon ward. I love my family! Because it is a holiday weekend the ward was filled to capacity. We were in the overflow area. The topic for the meeting was conversion and obedience. One of the speakers had just returned from serving in the army and his testimony of obedience was powerful. I am glad Joe, Alex, Ben and Max were there to here it. Evan and Josh were there too but I am not sure they heard or understood anything. After sacrament meeting there was a mad dash to the car by the rest of the family while James and I stayed for Sunday School, Relief Society and Priesthood. After Relief Society I went up and introduced myself to the Relief Society presidency and gave them my phone number. I am anxious to get involved in the ward. It is hard to go from a ward you have been in forever where you know everyone to a ward where you know so very few.
This evening we had a family home evening here at the cabin. First the kids roasted marshmallows and made smores. Next Joshua led us in singing his favorite Primary song, "Jesus Wants Me for a Sunbeam." I told the story from Sister Ardeth Kapp's book about the two neighbors Mr. Brown and Mr. Jones and we talked about doing kind things for others, especially those who might not be kind to us. Next James talked about conversion and personal revelation and shared some personal examples from his life. It was really good. During the lesson Alex mentioned the speaker today in sacrament meeting and what a good talk he gave. I love the gospel!
