Mon. Nov. 9th - Sun. Nov. 15th

Monday - Mark took his 3rd mini of the semester this morning. After the kids got out of school we went to Swirls to use our gift certificates we received from the mud run we did on Halloween for being the "most inspirational". We love Swirls' fro yo! We love Daddy even more!!!!


Lemon grass for Daddy's lemon grass tea. 



In the evening we had 3 elders come for dinner. We had homemade pizza and our yummy Blendtec "ice cream".


Thursday I went out to breakfast at Corner Cafe with a group to surprise a gal who is getting married here next Sunday. It was so fun. She was truly surprised.


Friday morning I went with a large group to find a trail not far from campus. It was a beautiful morning. I love being out enjoying God's beautiful creations. 








Saturday evening was RSO's banquet that we have near the end of each semester to say good bye to those who will be leaving the island. We went to Cocoa Mangos and enjoyed yummy food and good company. It was a nice kid-free evening! 

Not quite everyone was there for the picture. We took another later but I like this one better :)


Bible study group 

 LDS ladies. 2 just got here this month and 3 are leaving next month.



Sunday -  Today church was great. I always feel our meetings are inviting of The Spirit. Follow the prophet and beware of pride were the main take home thoughts that I got out of my meetings. 

The church recently came out clarifying it's policies on children of homosexual couples needing to wait until 18 years old for baptism. This upset many and some have left the church because of it. It makes me sad. The world, or the "large and spacious building" from Lehi's vision, is calling out to us and so many are listening and falling away from the iron rod which is the word of God. The prophet is God's mouthpiece on earth. The Lord will not lead us astray. The things of God are not the things of man. This world is becoming ripe in it's wickedness. It makes me nervous to send my kids out into the world where there is so much evil and confusion. I hope that I am being a good enough mother to teach them to love God and know good from evil.
