Elder David A. Bednar

Oops...I was looking at my January post (any one out there?) and noticed that I didn't put any links on it for the genealogy fan chart as mentioned in Elder Bednar's October 2011 General Conference address.  The link for his talk is here:

As you read through his talk, you will also find the link of a short video with Elder Bednar concerning family history and youth accomplishing this work.  You will also find the link to there to create your own family history fan.  It's fun...do it!

The Power of Music

I have always been grateful for the opportunity I was given to develop a musical talent.  It has brought great joy and happiness into my life.  I appreciate opportunities to share that with others, too.
I really have learned to love the performances of Jenny Oaks Baker and her incredible gift.  She is beautiful both inside and out and I am so impressed with the choice she made to be a stay at home Mom and to give her own four children their own opportunities to develop a musical talent as well.  I have watched and listened to many YouTube videos of Jenny Oaks Baker and this one posted on www.lds.org is but the latest of her and the testimony she has of the power of music in our lives.
Thanks Mom and Dad  this one's for you!
