Great Family Home Evening

Last night Jaremy gave a marvelous lesson in Family Home Evening. He assured the kids no matter where we move we still have Heavenly Father and the Gospel and our family. He read "If You Could Hie to Kolob" to them and taught us about our heavenly home. The Spirit was here while he bore his testimony and shared his desire to be a better husband, father, and person. I was filled with love for this amazing man. I want to be better because and for him too.

After the lesson and songs we took the kids to the Herriman Recreation Center to swim. Holy Cow! I have never seen such an indoor pool. Waterslides, a playground in the wading pool with fountains galore, a lazy river, diving boards, floating pads to run across, money bars over the water, and a lap pool. Jaremy and I couldn't believe it! We were worried we were spoiling our children.

Elder Oaks warned this area about worldliness and entertaining ourselves to death. It is visible everywhere. It's going to be a bit more challenging to raise a family that is in the world but not of the world down in this Salt Lake Valley. But we will just have to guard ourselves against worldliness, meaningless busyness, and selfishness. With the Lord's help we can navigate through the seas of big box stores and McMansions without losing our souls.
