Partake of Fruit

1 Nephi 8:12 "And as I partook of the fruit thereof it filled my soul with exceedingly great joy; wherefore, I began to be desirous that my family should partake of it also; for I knew that it was desirable above all other fruit". This is one of my favorite scriptures in holy writ! The first time I read this I got so emotional. Only God could place words to express EXACTLY how I felt that day. For those of you who don't know this weekend Oct. 2nd & 3rd there will be a conference broad cast on television for your convenience at which the Prophet and Apostles will speak. They will speak the mind and will of the Lord. Be prepared with your notebook & pen. If you have been desiring to draw closer to God, follow their counsel and I guarantee you WILL be closer to Him.

This is how Eve picks fruit

Esther on the other hand was a little afraid of the dogs next door. She clings on to me for protection. Little does she know, that mommy is afraid of dogs as well. But they were behind the fence so I had a bit more confidence. After a while she joined in and picked some Pears. This girl LOVES Pears. Especially the soft ones on the ground:)

Checking to make sure the dogs won't get her. Man, I love this girl!

What an exciting weekend coming up. General Conference, Nancy arrives & hopefully my little princess will arrive as well. Another General conference baby! Live, smile, laugh & laugh some more. Have a blessed weekend and you're more then welcome to pray for our family.

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.
