Find The Lambs, Feed The Sheep

Welp, he has definitely grown a foot or two

This boy is now a Missionary

Trent has been called to serve a two year mission 

for The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints

in the Belém Brazil Mission

When Taylor and I were getting ready to pull out of the driveway

 Trent was strutting his stuff in his church shoes and shorts

this is my favorite picture right now, 

I am going to get it printed big and put it up on our wall while he is gone

I am going to miss seeing him around and hearing from him directly

but I am so excited to hear about all his experiences

he has a wonderful sense of humor that I am sure will come out

ohhhh I love Trenty

I know he is in good hands

“If it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!

And now, if your joy will be great with one soul that you have brought unto me into the kingdom of my Father, how great will be your joy if you should bring many souls unto me!” (D&C 18:15–16).

“And any man that shall go and preach this gospel of the kingdom, and fail not to continue faithful in all things, shall not be weary in mind, … neither in body, limb, nor joint; and a hair of his head shall not fall to the ground unnoticed. And they shall not go hungry, neither athirst” (D&C 84:80).

“Whoso receiveth you, there I will be also, for I will go before your face. I will be on your right hand and on your left, and my Spirit shall be in your hearts, and mine angels round about you, to bear you up” (D&C 84:88).

 “After all that has been said, the greatest and most important duty is to preach the Gospel”

 (Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith, sel. Joseph Fielding Smith [1976], 113).

5 funnies and facts

1   I was carrying a box in the other night and felt so great

 until a giant moth, possibly a bat, flew SMACK into my cheek 

and set me in my place

2   While Taylor was dusting, I was moving weights.

I picked up one of the biggest ones and turned to move it

WHACK

goes the bar on the rack 

making contact with my cheek bone/eye socket area

loooovely, we have family coming into town 

and our second wedding reception this weekend

luckily, I don't have a black eye just a small bump

3   Driving to Taylor's softball game I was in such a good mood

I was singing and dancing in the truck 

when a good song came on 

obviously, I wanted to turn the volume up

so trying to be so cute and fun 

I danced my way to the volume

started to say, "Yeaaa-"

but the seatbelt decided it didn't want the volume louder

completely rejected

I was laughing so hard at myself after I was crying

4  We have been going through old pictures for 

the wedding reception this weekend

and our conclusion is that 

our children have no hope for good teeth

both of us had pretty decent gaps 

between our two front teeth

5   We rode out to Lind for the Combine Demolition Derby on Saturday

best people watching in a while

and a good time watching the various races

(we forgot our camera, SO bummed)

I googled it to give you a good idea of what it looked like

I love riding on the back of my husband's motorcycle

even if after three 45+ minute rides in one afternoon I don't want to anymore

Lesson of the week: Something always keeps us humble.
