We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet

I was so sad to hear of the passing of the dear prophet. As I talked with Craig I told him I wish I could somehow have a glimpse of the homecoming he is having. . What a great Man and a wonderful person. " We Thank Thee O God for a Prophet, to guide us in this latter days. We Thank Thee for every blessing"

27 January 2008 “I hope that all of you will remember that on this Sabbath day you heard me bear my witness that this is God’s holy work. The vision given the Prophet Joseph in the grove of Palmyra was not an imaginary thing. It was real. It occurred in the broad light of day. Both the Father and the Son spoke to the boy. He saw Them standing in the air above him. He heard Their voices. He gave heed to Their instruction.
“It was the resurrected Lord who was introduced by His Father, the great God of the universe. For the first time in recorded history, both the Father and the Son appeared together to part the curtains and open this, the last and final dispensation, the dispensation of the fullness of times.
“The Book of Mormon is all that it purports to be—a work recorded by prophets who lived anciently and whose words have come forth “to the convincing of the Jew and Gentile that Jesus is the Christ, the Eternal God, manifesting himself unto all nations” (Book of Mormon title page).
“The priesthood has been restored under the hands of John the Baptist and Peter, James, and John. All the keys and authority pertaining to eternal life are exercised in this Church.
“Joseph Smith was and is a prophet, the great Prophet of this dispensation. This Church, which carries the name of the Redeemer, is true.
“I leave you my testimony, my witness, and my love for each of you, in the name of Jesus Christ, amen.”
President Gordon B. Hinckley April 1, 2006, Sunday morning session of the 176th Annual World General Conference

Ethan took his first steps

Well Ethan took five steps to his PoPo on Tuesday and he is taking steps between me and Craig. It will not be long until he is on his way. He grew up so fast I cant believe that it was almost a year ago that I brought him home a newborn, now he is almost my one year old boy. No more babies. I will miss that.
