Latter-day Saints

So, here’s how it went at my house… I heard Meet the Mormons was in theaters and I was so curious about it. My husband heard it was out, and he was like, ‘Eh, we ARE Mormon, why do we need to see it?’ He had a point. Was there really anything in the movie that we wouldn’t know already, being members our whole life? Needless to say, we never saw it in the theater. Although, I hear it did AWESOME (the #1 film in over 100 locations across the country) and the church just donated $1.8 million dollars of the profits to The Red Cross.

Just this last month, the movie became available for streaming on Amazon. We needed an easy idea for a Family Night, so decided we would pile on the couch, and watch Meet the Mormons together. Me, my grumbling husband, and 6 kids.

In preparation for the upcoming General Conference, I’ve been sharing one favorite talk from a past conference each Sunday. Last week, I shared the awesome talk about The Tender Mercies of The Lord. This week, I wanted to share Come What May, and Love It, by Joseph B. Wirthlin.

So, I love this talk because there are always going to be ups and downs in our lives. But, just like Elder Wirthlin’s mom would say to him, ‘Come what may, and love it.’ In the talk, he gives several tips on how to feel happier in life… and they’re awesome!

Some of us have a lot of faith. Some have very little. But, rather than focusing on our lack of faith, we should work with what we have and watch it grow!

Listen to a favorite talk of mine, all about faith, and bring a little sunshine to your Sunday!

Happy Sunday! Last week at church, I took GREAT notes… at least, I thought so. But, I lost them. Lost my whole dang note book. Grrr… So, rather than guessing at my favorite quotes, I’m going to share another great video about making the best of situations in life and a favorite scripture that was shared in it. Sometimes it’s fun to share these things anyway. I hope you enjoy your day!

Sooo… the past two Sunday’s I was on a cruise with my husband (I’ll tell you about it soon!), so I won’t be able to give you my regular church report. BUT, I have been thinking about a little something this week that I wanted to share and found a really special video. So, we’ll call that our Sunday Sunshine for the week and next week, I’ll be back on track. I’m so happy to be back at church tomorrow!

Happy Sunday!

Sunday Sunshine is where I share my favorite thoughts from church the previous Sunday. It’s a fun way for me to add to my personal history by recording thoughts, but also to share with you a little goodness.

Come read my personal insights and all that inspired me! I’m hoping you’ll be inspired too.

Happy Sunday! I recently mentioned in my The Moment I Realized Family History is Awesome post that I’m part of a family history class at church. We spend a lot of time talking about the importance of keeping our own personal history. It got me thinking how a lot of what I write on this blog is part of my personal history that can be passed down. I love that!

With that in mind…

After my family history class, I transition to Relief Society. That’s the class at church for them women. It’s my favorite one. With all the chaos of life, the moment I sit down in Relief Society, I feel exactly that… relief.
