Lately, I been able to empathize with those who doubt the miracle of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Let me be very clear, I am a firm believer that Jesus is real. I believe with my whole soul that He is the Son of God and my Redeemer. I love Him and I want to…

Through Her Example
This last week, we had a lesson with the Sister Missionaries. It was about mothers. The Sisters asked each of us to share what our mother meant to us. As I heard each of my kids’ comments, I chuckled to myself remembering a really not so fun conversation that had happened earlier that day with…

Yesterday after church, we started playing our own version of Are you smarter than a 5th grader with our kids. In a way, it was to help us figure out where our kids homeschool education was lacking and what academic areas we needed to put some more effort into. We had a really fun time…

GPS Adventures
