The new Head Basketball Coach at Elbert County High School!

I am so proud of Jeff for accomplishing this! The previous Head Coach was awesome and did a really good job with the team, but he wasn't able to get certified so they had to let him go. He was a friend of ours and we will miss him. Jeff has worked so hard teaching and coaching and has been doing such a great job, he didn't even have to apply, they offered him the job and he accepted. He has a lot of work ahead of him and I am going to be home alone a lot, but I am so proud of Jeff and he totally deserves this opportunity. I know he will do such a good job and be a great example and leader of their team. I feel so blessed that Jeff's hard work is paying off and he is being promoted in an economy where it is hard to even keep a job. Jeff you rock, I love you and I am so excited and happy for you!

Our Testimony

Jeff and I are both members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints and we wanted to share how grateful we are for that blessing. We believe the Book of Mormon and the Bible are the word of God and we learn so much as we read from them. We know that families can be together forever, even after death, if we choose to make that covenant with God in his holy temple. We believe that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God and was led by God to restore the truth on the earth. He went through so much persecution and dedicated his life so that we could have the Gospel of Christ today. We also believe President Monson to be our prophet today, we believe he communicates with God and leads us to live good lives so we can return to live with our father in heaven once again. The more we pray, read the scriptures, and learn about the gospel, the more we feel the holy spirit in our lives. As we do these things we can see our lives and our marriage being blessed and our happiness increased. We know we have made so many mistakes in each of our lives respectively and we are so amazed that our savior Jesus Christ can help us to be forgiven for those things. We love the joy and happiness that the gospel of christ brings us everyday. Jeff even dedicated two years of his life to sharing that truth because he believes in it so much and wanted to bring other people that happiness. I am so thankful that he made that sacrifice because I can see the blessings that came from it. We are not posting this to try to force our views on anyone, we just wanted to let everyone know how thankful we are for the Lord's blessings and for his guidance in our lives. We have also been so blessed with amazing family and friends to give us support and love along our way. Thank you being there for us and thank you for letting us share our love of Christ and our testimony of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints.
