That Was Unexpected

1. Today I scheduled a playdate with some friends at church. I was so pumped and excited to see Eve interact with other children. Usually she's very happy when there are other kids over. She shocked me completely. She cried most of the time because the other children were playing with her stuff. I never seen her that way. I guess it comes with the age. I was embarrassed but glad at the same time because I thought what a great opportunity for her to learn that we share in this house. It got so bad that I had to comfort her and calm her down. That girl can really work her self up. I wonder where she gets that from. Maybe I should start sharing my chocalate with Mark.

2. I didn't think it was really possible but Eve managed to break her crib. I'm not sure if she karate chopped it, kicked it, tried to climb out of it or what but the wooden bar was in half. She managed to do this while she was taking a nap. Crazy!

3. I just finished reading Women Of Destiny I really enjoyed it. Definetly feel more empowered.

Carly said...: No need to be embarrassed--Hopefully every one understands that this is just a phase toddlers go through. But I bet I would feel the same way. Let me know your tricks in teaching her to share. Zach is right behind Eve and will be to that stage before I know it.

I can't believe she broke her crib! Dang--maybe we have a future softball player on our hands --with that kind of strength. Never a dull moment, I am sure!; March 5, 2009 at 1:25 PM

Juanita's Conversion Story

I feel that Heavenly Father has blessed me with the desire to play softball. The fact that the Lord was guiding me to play softball became more evident to me when I was offered a scholarship to play ball at BYU-Hawaii. The thought of attending BYU-Hawaii just seemed right and good at the time so I attended college there. My first year in college I was so excited to learn, play, and party. I discovered real soon that the students who attended the university had fun without drinking. I also discovered that the people were faithful and they had a strong sense of purpose and Identity. This compelled me to go on a spiritual search. I decided to take the lessons from the missionaries from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. As I took the lessons I was taught things that I heard before and things that were new to me. Such as the Book of Mormon and the prophet Joseph Smith. These were things that were a challenge for me to believe. So I took these challenges up to the Lord and I asked him if the Book of Mormon is the word of God and if Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I'm so delighted to share with you that I do know that the Book of Mormon is true and that the Prophet Joseph Smith was a true prophet of God. I know that it's true because of the power of the Holy Spirit, because of these truths and much more I decided to be baptized and serve the Lord. Getting baptized was the best decision I ever made. It's because of this choice that I enjoy the blessing of life today. The church is true and I find myself indebt to the Lord forever.
