A Blessed Saturday

Attending Mya's Baptism was the best way to start a Saturday.  I loved feeling the Spirit and it was felt first thing.  It was fun being with our family and Natalie's family.  My kids have married in to awesome families.

Sadie was great all day and was showing off her cute smile before she went to bed.  Her little face makes me smile.  She is so expressive and cute.  I have really enjoyed having Sadie for the week.  I loved all the snuggling we got and waking up to her cute face.  Sadie is a good baby...such a blessing.

Larry and I went to dinner with Alan and Sue.  I didn't bring my phone or camera and so I found their picture on Sue's Face Book.  I love Alan and Sue.  They are such good, down to earth people.  They do so much for others.  They are always serving their friends from the Islands.  They work hard and play hard and tonight when we went to pick them up a few of their married kids were there with their families.  One family was ice skating on the rink out back that Alan and Sue put up.  The others were in the house with the babies playing with them.  I love the Winter family and always enjoy seeing any of them.

We went to Sizzler and enjoyed a good meal and had some really great conversation.  We always have great conversations with the Winters.  We can talk to them about anything and usually do.  It's fun sharing our thoughts and lives with people on the "same page".  We just understand each other really well.  We talked about vacationing together in November.  We each had something in mind and I think Larry and I might change our plans of going to Disneyland and go to Hawaii with with Winters in November instead.  I think we were planning on going to Hawaii in February and so maybe we will just flip our trips.  I love going on vacation with Alan and Sue.

It was a great day!  Filled with the Spirit, Family and Friends!  It was complete!

Mya's Baptism

Everyone's prayers for Mya to be better for her baptism were answered.  She has been so excited to get baptized and didn't want to post pone if for being sick.  I was so glad that everything went as planned.  I love baptisms!  I always feel the spirit and it started right off for me today.  We got there about 20 minutes early and as people were coming in and filling up that Relief Society room I could feel the spirit so strong and my eyes leaked a little from it.

When the program started I struggled to hold back my tears.  I was thinking how grateful I was to be giving the closing prayer because I was a mess.  It didn't matter that I was the closing prayer.  I still cried and had a hard time getting my words out.

Mya is a spiritual giant!  She already has such a strong testimony of prayer and priesthood blessings.  She knows right from wrong and  doesn't like seeing immodest clothing on anyone.  She is just so pure and sweet!  Oh how I love Mya.....Oh how everyone loves Mya!  The primary president joked about having Parkers baptism at the Aquatic Center so there would be room for everyone.

I know that Mya understands her choice and decision to be Baptized!  She is a sweetheart and really does try to follow Jesus.  Mya is such a great example to us all!
