HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO COLE!

Cole turned 19 yesterday. WOW! It seems like yesterday he was a blonde haired little boy.

Cole received his mission call to the Wisconsin Milwaukee Mission and will leave on January 12th. His farewell will be Dec. 26 @1:00.

BYU has been invited to the New Mexico Bowl on Dec. 18th. Cole is so excited! He will get to travel and dress for the game but no redshirts will play. So look for #65 on the sidelines!

Cole received his endowments at the Bountiful Temple. It was an awesome experience for us - a big pay day for sure!

I mean this answers the eternal question: "What shall I do with all of this (unwanted) candy acquired by the Trick or Treating of Halloween?"

Groundbreaking for LDS temple in Rome

When I watched this video, I just couldn't help but post this. For those of us who have loved Helen and Jerry Parker...well, pay close attention.

President Monson Breaks Ground for Rome Italy Mormon Temple

This morning as I was continuing my study and preparation for my Sunday school lesson today, I watched the groundbreaking video of the Rome, Italy temple. I am in admiration and awe of those tremendously faithful members in Italy and surrounding countries who have waited for years to have this blessing in their life. What a incredible time we live in to watch as the church continues to spread its influence across the world.



We also have so many wonderful resources to strengthen our own testimonies through a variety of different media. Wow...we live during a great time!
I hope that you, too, will find inspiration as you watch this video. Enjoy!

Apparently, Hand Dancing is catching on all over! Where? Well, I guess with these two Irish Dancers. Certainly they are very clever and have incredible timing and concentration. Just makes you want to get up and dance (that is with your hands!).
