Grandpa Bob Visit

My dad came to visit for a week which was really fun. When he got here I was recovering from strep, so I felt bad I didn't go to the airport to pick him up, but luckily Jeff and the girls were there to welcome him. We had a great time relaxing and playing with Grandpa. Dad was so sweet to cut up and bag my 40 lbs of chicken that I got on sale, because I was feeling too sick. Monday we took dad to the gym, went to Moe's and got to do Family Night. The rest of the week we stayed up late watching tv and just relaxing. Friday night we stayed in a hotel, because I had a vb tournament Saturday and Sunday. The girls were so excited to stay in a hotel again. Saturday morning Dad got to come to some of my volleyball tournament and then Jeff took him to the airport to go home. It was a great trip and it had been over a year since I had seen my dad so it was great to see him!

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.
