Emmie's Home!

-
The last 18 months, Emmie has been in Jackson Mississippi serving a mission for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints! She has been amazing and i am so proud of her! Being in the south was probably so fun and so different from where i served in Vancouver, Canada! On Wednesday she flew in at 9:00 pm after a long day of delayed and missed flights! We are so happy she is home! While she was gone, Jared and I got married, Tanner and Kenzie had Tommy (15 months) and Lissy got accepted to USU! Lots of big changes for our family! It is so good to be all together again! Here are some pictures! We got a cute video of my Mom waiting at the bottom of the escalator. There were hundreds of people there that night! So many missionary moms just anxiously waiting! Watching the missionaries run to their moms is the sweetest thing! The LDS church has such an amazing missionary program and I am so glad i got the chance to serve a mission as well. It has changed my life so much and brought me so much joy! #sharegoodness

Where is the light at the end of the tunnel?

-
The past week or so, I have been feeling really down. Not like emotional down, but spiritually down. I can feel satan working on me by using my hard feelings toward others to stir inside me and create hatred and anger and ultimately the distance of Gods presence. He is working hard. I feel evil around me and i'm getting mad easily and short with Jared and Luna especially. She is at the most difficult age so far. 22 months. She is testing my patience and i'm giving into the adversary hard core. On top of that, Jared has been struggling with things and that isn't making matters better. I had a massage with Tony and i was telling him how i was feeling and he told me that sometimes that happens to him and every time it has, it has meant that satan in working hard on him because something amazing or spiritual was about to happen. It always came to pass that there was a beautiful light at the end of the tunnel. I sure hope this is the case for me. I have been feeling awful lat...

Blessings from 10 day social media fast..

DAY 1- This morning I woke up and played with Luna instead of letting her play alone and get on both my IG accounts and FB. We got up, made oatmeal together and listened to the the La La Land soundtrack and danced! I usually look at my phone on and off during breakfast. After breakfast we played some more, got dressed and cleaned up the house and folded laundry while I listened to a podcast instead of turning the TV on to watch a show. Later this evening I went to the gym and grabbed some food for Jared and I at In n Out. The lines both in and out are always long so i would normally check my phone while i waited in line but i just stood there in thought. while i was waiting i had a thought to get an extra cheeseburger. I didnt know why i had this thought because Luna wouldn't eat that. I didnt get the burger because i have a hard time deciding whether or not in the spirit or just my own thoughts. ( been working on this my whole life.) I wouldn't normally get fries because I...

Come Follow Me Challenge

Staring in January 2019, the prophet announced a new program called, Come, Follow Me. This program is made for individuals and families as a way to strengthen our faith. This weeks challenge was to write down/ share your testimony of Christ and the truth we learn about him from the apostle, John. As we studied in John in the New Testament, there were so many great things to remember about Christ. Here are a few that i picked up as i read: 1. Christ is full of grace & truth 2. He is the source of truth and light 3. He is the creator  4. He was from the beginning  5. He gives power to his believers  6. His is the reason each of us can live eternally, through his atonement we are saved from death.  ( These can be found in John 1: 1-18) These are only a few of the things that describe Christ. As we read and study the NT I know my testimony of christ and knowledge of his life and mission will only increase and strengthen my faith in him.  I ...
