Sweet Samantha/Government

Sweet Samantha Thank you mom for doing the laundry. Thank you mom for the comfort you give us. Thank you mom for doing the dishes. Thank you mom for cooking dinner  The other day I was getting stuff done and Samantha was playing with some of my magnets.  I asked her to stop and she immediately said, "Okay."  Then I walked over to the dishwasher and saw that she had written a little note telling me thank you for doing the dishes.  I was so surprised and felt so special.  I turned to her and said, "Oh, is this what you are doing?  Then go ahead and finish."  She did and I was delighted to find these little signs all over the kitchen.  She is a sweet girl and good at thinking of others.  She has been a huge help this last two weeks with my foot.  Stepping in when I need her.  Not needing to be asked, just doing.  It has been a delight and a blessing to have her helping me. Book of Mormon, Helaman 3:32

Book of Mormon, Mosiah 12:15 "15  And behold, we are strong, we shall not come into bondage, or be taken captive by our enemies; yea, and thou hast prospered in the land, and thou shalt also prosper." I feel like this is the pride that is growing here in America. I hope that there are enough good people to keep us from being destroy

Babysat/Testimoy

We went to New Beginnings, a meeting where the girls that will be turning 12 in the coming year are introduced into the Young Women program.  Kind of an official step into young womanhood.  Elizabeth was being introduced as she will be turning 12 in April.  She is such a beautiful young woman.  I am so proud of her and the decisions she is making.  What a joy she is. Since Derek, Elizabeth, and I all had to attend and Samantha also had an activity at church we got a babysitter for John Derek, Maddie, and Michael.  When I returned home I found out that Michael had not gone to sleep as he should have.  He had cried and fussed.  The babysitter had texted me but I didn't get it.  Then she told me how good John Derek had been.  How he had rubbed Michael's back trying to get him to go to sleep.  How he really helped out.  After she left and I was putting Michael down John Derek came in and told me where to rub on his back to help him sleep.  How he had prayed that Michael would g
