Church Ah Ha Moment

First off... I have to share with everyone how happy I was with Landon being such an Amazing little boy during Sacrament Meeting this week! Usually I have to get up at least once with him because he is so dog-gum noisy. But this week he sat on my lap almost the entire meeting long and the noisiest he was was when he made some piggy noises because we asked him what a piggy sound was. :) I think it had to do with not sitting by Brielle (Andrea's daughter). When they sit together they fight over books, snacks, seats, and even mommies. So maybe we'll be drifting away from sitting with the Smithees, even though they are great and I love them so much!

So Congrats Landon. You were amazing... and I hope there are many more Sundays like this to come.

I am so glad that I am in the Young Woman Program. This Sunday we watched the 'Joy to the World' DVD that our ward is giving out to friends of the youth and members. It's a great missionary tool and really brings the meaning of Christmas home. So the DVD is great and I would recommend it to anyone and everyone. :)

I had an ah-ha moment in Sunday School. I have to confess that sometimes I use Sunday School to get some last minute preparation for my lesson done. I have been know to "skip" it because of this or chatting to a friend in a free room. But this Sunday I am so glad that I didn't. Brother Neilsen taught from Mormon 1-9 or something in there. It was just amazing how strongly I felt the Holy Ghost during church, and especially during this lesson. When I walked in (late!) Brother Neilsen was asking the class if we knew a 10 year old boy that would be able to take on the responsibilities of keeping the sacred records of the church. I thought of all the kids I know - even some of the teenagers and couldn't think of one that I would really pick out to give something that huge to. I know that Mormon had some time to grow and learn before he actually got the plates, but to be told, when you were ten, that you would be given the records that have been kept from generation to generation... I don't know. It just struck me as amazing. God does work in mysterious ways. He knows what He is doing... and looking at this I am just stunned. Of course this may just be me a little slower than the rest of you, but it was my ah-ha moment all the same. :P

Ok... I just read through that and I hardly understood what I meant, but I hope you could glean a little of what I was going for in that.
