Book of Mormon, Alma 1:26-28

"26 And when the priests left their labor to impart the word of God unto the people, the people also left their labors to hear the word of God. And when the priest had imparted unto them the word of God they all returned again diligently unto their labors; and the priest, not esteeming himself above his hearers, for the preacher was no better than the hearer, neither was the teacher any better than the learner; and thus they were all equal, and they did all labor, every man according to his strength.

27 And they did impart of their substance, every man according to that which he had, to the poor, and the needy, and the sick, and the afflicted; and they did not wear costly apparel, yet they were neat and comely.

28 And thus they did establish the affairs of the church; and thus they began to have continual peace again, notwithstanding all their persecutions."

Even in trials the righteous remember that they are equal, that there is not one person better than another. They serve they love, they feed and care for their own.

WE ARE EXPECTING BABY #5

Elizabeth

My darling Elizabeth is so wonderful. At Church I had the pleasure of talking to different people about the great girl she is. I was in the mother's room, feeding Michael, and talked to two other moms. We were discussing the joys and difficulties of raising children. I talked about how I couldn't do it without my Elizabeth. How she is my right hand. She is so good and stepping in and making breakfast or lunch. She loves to make pancakes with chocolate chips. She is great with Michael. I know that I can give him to her and he will be well taken care of. As soon as we pull into the garage she exclaims, "I'll get Michael!" then leaps out of the car and takes him out. I don't know what I would do without her. When Michael was first born and I was constantly feeding, sleeping, and trying to hold the house together she did so much. She was such a huge help. She is going to be a great mother some day. She is so good at talking to children and
