The Bennums: Fort Bennum

Fort Bennum

Berkeley got the movie Beauty and the Beast for Christmas and I really have been wanting the girls to watch it, but movies are really hard for them to sit through so I had to get them pumped. I let them stay up WAY past their bedtime to watch it, which was a good enough incentive right there. I also read them the book first, with the same Disney pictures so they would recognize the stuff in the movie and stay engaged. I built this fort on to the TV and popped some popcorn. Berkeley made it about 3/4 of the way through and then came to me wimpering so she may have been a little scared, but she didn't want to watch it after that. Cheyenne made it the whole way through but never wants to watch it again because she doesn't like the beast or the "guy in the red shirt" (Gaston). It was fun though and we left the fort up for about a week...

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.
