Perth Bay


















Finally! Guess who found my camera? Oliver! I walked in to the family room and there it was sitting on the couch. I said, "Where did this come from?" Oliver said it was stuck inside the couch and he pulled it out. YAY!!!



So here is a picture of what I see every evening at sunset. On the next really clear day I'll show you how clear and nice we can see Catalina, and on the next really, really nice day, I'll show you a picture of San Clemente Island too.


I really LOVE it here!

Alma 30- Korihor

I have been reading this morning in Alma about Korihor, the anti-christ and love what Elder Henry B. Eyring said about him.
"Korihor was arguing, as men and women have falsely argued from the beginning of time, that to take counsel from the servants of God is to surrender God-given rights of independence. But the argument is false becasue it misrepresents reality. When we reject the counsel which comes from God, we do not choose to be independent of outside influence. We choose another influence. We reject the protection of a perfectly loving, all-powerful, all-knowing Father in Heaven, whose whole purpose,as that of His Beloved Son, is to give us eternal life, to give us all that He has, and to bring us home again in families to the arms of His love."

Just for today, let us choose the influence of our Lord and Savior, not the other son!

Easter

Sorry kids that there are no pictures. I have misplaced my camera in the move and fear it will be sometime before I find it. I want you to know of my love for and my belief in the resurrection on this Easter morning. I have always felt an absence of fear where death is concerned. Maybe it is a gift I recieved with my testimony of the restored gospel, but death to me is peace and progress. I only fear I have not lived up to my knowledge and testimony. That is something I can continue to work on and of course will pursue. But death in itself is something I don't fear and don't believe I will fear when the time comes. I have always had a testimony of the plan of Salvation presented by the Son of God. I LOVE the Plan of Salvation which of course includes the resurrection, judgement, and eternal reward. I want you to know this on this Easter morning and pray you will teach this to your dear children.

HAPPY EASTER,
MOM
