San Diego Day 5 we went to the San Diego Zoo. It was so much fun! Mom's favorite part were the giant tortoises. They were amazing! We also loved "flying" above the zoo.
Day 6 we went to Belmont Park. It was a blast! It was a like a small state fair with all the trimmings even funnel cake. The kids had a blast going on rides and I loved the wooden roller coaster. We even got to go on a zipline. We all loved that. It was delightful!
Over all we had a great time in San Diego. It was so sweet of my parents to take us all. We are so grateful for family and for our wonderful grandma and grandpa. We will miss them as they embark on their new adventure in Sulimaniyah, Kurdistan, Iraq as Missionaries for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
My nephew Tyler is on a mission in California. He recently sent a letter and talked about The Enabling Power of the Atonement. Here is part of his letter:
Before I got the blessing from President Taggart, we talked for a
little bit and I told him how I've been kind of feeling overwhelmed
and stressed lately and then with Daisy, it made things worse. I told
President that Elder Henkel and I constantly comment how you are able
to do everything you do. As an Assistant to the President, I get to
catch a small glimpse on how much work that he does for the mission.
It amazes me. President Taggart then told me that it is the enabling
power of the Atonement. He said that the more he has studied and read
the miracle of the five loafs of bread and two fishes, he's come to
realize that it is an example of the enabling power of the Atonement.
Sometimes we are asked to do things that require truck loads of fishes
and bread but we might only have five loafs and two fishes to give. If
we do our part, the Lord promises to do the rest. I know that is true!
I know that if we cheerfully do everything in our power, the Lord will
make up for the rest. I know that my Savior lives. I know that the
Atonement is real.
I really liked how his mission president took the story of the five loafs and two fishes and associated it with the Enabling Power of the Atonement. I am learning more and more every day that I need that power. I am limited in so much but through the Atonement I can accomplish all I need to for good. I
