It's about time I posted something here again.  I get so busy keeping the other blog updated, raising the boys, teaching the boys, supporting the Bishop/Student that I forget this blog over here.  In fact, if you just go to the mission blog and click on the Nov. 28 post you will see a new post from me and not just Josh.

I feel a real duty to keep the mission blog current.  It seems like a way to do mission work for this mother that has never served in the field.  There is a resposibility to keep other informed about what's happening. 

Well, that's enough of my jibberish.  The Sabbath has been a delight.  My favorite meeting of the week occurred--Sacrament.  Along with that joyful time, I had a very nice time reading in the conference edition of the Ensign this morning.  Elder Robert D. Hales' talk had shed new light on Faith for me personally.  I had never considered that it took faith for us to follow Father's Plan in the premortal life.  Faith always seemed a thing of earth life.  Now I see that faith is something we will use throughout all Eternity.  Wow!  What a concept.

Have a lovely week.  We will be busy playing in the 6 inches of snowing laying across the lawn.  The little ones have come in from a little jaunt out in the backyard to "enjoy" the cold stuff.  It's time for hot cocoa.

Merry Christmas,
Stacie
