Not Even Kidding

What's New:

So Mark just signed a contract with the Army! So he is officially in the Army Reserves! Crazy! He starts basic training/officer candidate school after he graduates with his masters this coming spring. We will be a p a r t for 6 months:( So I'm staying in Hawaii with the girls:) We will be in Hawaii for my cousin Malia's wedding, Thanksgiving, Christmas & New Years:) But Mark will be in training:( I know it will be rough not seeing him for so long that's why I'm going to NEED my family! What can I say I'm in love with the guy and VERY proud of him! Our goals are slowly but surely coming true! We just need to wear the mantle of patience with grace.

This past weekend we had a ward Elders Quorum Christmas party. It was fun!

The girls were really excited to see so many families at our home. They had a good time.

This year we will be spending Christmas in Kentucky and we are SUPER EXCITED (thanx to granny and Grandpa)! We will try our best to embrace every moment especially knowing that next year we won't be spending the holidays together.

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.
