Young Womens Camp

Well the cannon fourth ward is going to entrust the young women in my hands again this year for girls camp. I am so flippen excited that it is finally time to start planning and get ready for girls camp. I know a lot of people think I am high on something that I would ever want to have this calling for the third year in a row but I completly love it. I would probably say to all you and your callings that I am so greatful for the calling I have becuase it is just up my alley. I am very excited for this experience again and I hope I can help the girls in what ever areas they need help in. As everyone knows though I am a very high stresser and I have to take medications for that but I have already had one round of shingles just stressing to much about calling my helpers. I have that task over so now we move on. Well I am open for any ideas that anyone would like to give. I have found some wonderful websites but the more help the better. The bishop bore his testimony very strongly to me about deligation so I will listen to that. The stake theme for camp is "LET YOUR LIGHT SO SHINE" so the theme that I am going to do for our ward to go along with the stake and also the world wide theme 2008 for the youth is "CONSTANT AS A NORTH STAR". This theme comes from the most beautiful song about President Hinkley laying out under the stars at night and noticing that all the stars moved but one the north star. Everyone needs to read the lyrics to this song it is so good. Well everyone wish me luck and I expect everyone to come out and support our young women at our yearly fund raiser to help earn the funds for camp which will be April 19th. We dont know what we are doing for sure yet but please keep posted.
1. When President Hinckley was a boy,he slept outside for fun.He noticed all the stars would move,except for one.
2. Discouraged while in the mission field,he read these words from home:“Forget yourself and go to work.”His heart was stirred to
3. So if you’re discouraged or confused,just think of that bright star.Remember what our prophet saidAnd who you are.
Chorus: Be constant as the North Star that shines for you and me,Anchored in the gospel with pure integrity,Steadfast in your service to God and fellowman.President Hinckley has shown us that we can.

LONG TIME NO SEE

Well I haven't written for so long that i have so much to say and dont know where to start. I was really wanting this blog to be more like a journal/life history and did really well at first but have slacked off.
One of my news years resolutions this year was to read my scriptures every night to keep up with the lessons in Sunday school. I have a very hard time understanding the scriptures therefore in my life I haven't been a very good reader. Well I found the most amazing book to help me. You hear those stories of people reading the book of morman in one day and not being able to put it down and I have never understood that because I have a hard time reading a chapter a night. Not that I dont like to read but like I said that I have a very hard time understanding them. So I got the book Book of Morman made easier and I love it. I totally understand not being able to put it down. I love it. I finally understand what is going on. Aaron would always try to explain things to me when we would read together but it just isn't the same. So to anyone out there with the same problem as me having a hard time understand the book of morman language I would recomend this book.
On Saturday, February 9th we had Jessica's last baby shower. It was held at the office and we had invited a bunch of the patients from the office. Jessica was convinced that no one would come but we had a great turn out and a great time. We see our patients at least monthly so we become very good friends with them. We had a lot come with their grandkids which are the same age of my kids. We always talk to eachother about our kids/grandkids so it was fun to finally see all of the kiddies. After the shower me and Jess went to Babies R Us on a fun shopping spree. This is so much fun for me and as jessica says she can really use the help becuase she doesn't know anything about having babies. She is very appreciative of all my help. She said she would still be in babies r us wondering around not knowing what to get and very overwhelmed. I love helping out with baby stuff it is so fun.
