The Spirit of Christ

"We all can make the choice to give thanks

in prayer and to ask God for direction to

serve others for Him-especially during

this time of year when we celebrate

the Savior's birth."

-Henry B. Eyring

A Gift For You

Yes, I have neglected my blog for over a month.

Here we are in mid December already!

Wow. I really cannot believe it.

The Christmas shopping is done,

Dan is studying for the NBDE,

and we get to see family very soon!

I have been particularly homesick this year.

I really cannot wait to be with family.

Here are a few photos from our Holiday festivities.

A special thanks to Instagram for the fun photos.

I love Christmas!

My favorite part of Christmas is celebrating

the birth and life of Jesus Christ.

I received a very special gift this year.

This gift shares the beautiful message of

the Savior's birth, His life, and ministry.

I would love to share it with you.

Find it here.

Phone Pictures

We dressed up for our church's Halloween party.

I love Danny's face.

Fall is beautiful here.

I love the crisp air and colorful trees.

This is one of the many lovely trees that

have turned here in Little Italy.

We got to go to the Columbus Temple on Saturday.

Why do Mormons build temples?

Watch this short video here.

Did you know...

There are 135 operating temples around the world,

(3 are under renovation), 15 under construction,

and 16 recently announced to be built!

The Help

About a month ago, I finished reading The Help.

It is definitely in my top ten favorite books.

Then I went and saw the movie...

and I want to watch it again and again!

If you have not yet read it, or are resisting to be

apart of the craze... give up.

Read it.

Go see the movie.

It is worth it.
