What a day!
I didn’t have the kind of prayer this morning that I had the previous two days because we were camping. It rained most of the night so we were up at 4AM to move everything into the van and the roads were so muddy when we tried to come home that the van slid into…

Camping again
Emma, Noah, and I went camping tonight. Ezra had been pushing for it for months but then he had a friend throw a party tonight so he’s looking forward to the next time instead. (The goal is to go every other week over the summer.)

A flood of inspiration
As well might man stretch forth his puny arm to stop the Missouri river in its decreed course, or to turn it up stream, as to hinder the Almighty from pouring down knowledge from heaven upon the {head of David Miller}. Doctrine & Covenants 121:33 This is apparently true today and lately. I practiced the…

Grow into revelation
The Lord is teaching me through His prophet. Pray in the name of Jesus Christ about your concerns, your fears, your weaknesses—yes, the very longings of your heart. And then listen!

Day of service
We had a ward day of service this morning which Brother Call had individually invited Enoch to participate in for a family they minister to. I was happy when Ezra and Emma both asked me to wake them for the activity. All three of them came and helped with yardwork in the Sadler’s yard and…

“Meek”
I was talking to Savannah this afternoon and she mentioned that even though Aaron hasn’t known me very long he told her that he would describe me as “meek.” I took that as a great compliment to think that meekness was the trait that stood out to him. We had a nice graduation party with…

An alternate approach
I had presidency meeting when I would normally be walking today so I made a point to walk around the horseshoe almost every hour to get my steps in without taking a full hour block. After multiple walks around the horseshoe I was walking by the Preece’s house when their dog startled Sister Preece as…
