Pictures from our swim party yesterday.
With all the hard times in the world today and the trials people are facing. I thought I would share this Ensign article with you. I read it this morning and it really helped me. I have thought a lot about pray and how and when it is answered. I have study pray in the scriptures. I have been praying for a certain blessing and desire a of my heart for a very long time.
For many years. I know that the Lord hears my prayers and I even know that in his own way he is answering my pray. Not in a way I want but in his way. In the June Ensign President Uchtdorf share a article "Prayer and the Blue Horizon" You should read it. But here is a part the confirms what I already have learned. That is why we need Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.
Are prayers answered? I testify that they are.
Can we receive divine help, wisdom and support from heavenly realms? Again, I testify with certainty that such is the case.
Obedience assures us an answer to our prayers. We read in the New testament that "whatsoever we ask, we receive of him, because we keep his commandments, and do those things that are pleasing in his sight" (1 John 3:22)
The answers to our prayers come in the
Lord's due time. Sometimes we may become frustrated that the Lord has delayed answering our prayers. In such time we need to understand that
He knows whats best for His child, and being a perfect God,
He will answer our prayers perfectly and in the perfect time.
Love this article. I am grateful for pray and the many things I have learned through trials and many many many hours on my knees. Pray always and be believing.
Carlie got her drivers license yesterday. Yay for Carlie! I am a mean mom and had her do her personal progress (except virtue) before she could get her license. She is my third child and a great driver. I would say look out but I have full confidence in her.
Playing with the Mayan kids.
Rylie worked very hard. Repairing the roof
YUCK!
This was an amazing experiance for Rylie and I. In this village there is no running water, no electricity, so you have to use an outhouse to go to the bathroom. The people seems to be a very happy people. It was hard work. It was amazing to be with a group of young people who want to serve Heveanly Father's children. I have alot more pictures so more to come.
Ben and Tyler are such cute good boys. Friends of Carlie's. While waiting for Carlie to get ready they pulled my weeds. I love these boys.
Courtany is away with Hyrum for summer sales. We miss her. But we party anyway.
