It's a busy day for us! We do some cleaning in the house and in the backyard. In the afternoon, we all went outside to clean the backyard ( Russ is sick so he just stayed inside). JR was mowing the grass, Andrew was sweeping off the dirt in the patio and Johnathan was cooking. We had grilled pork chop, mushroom & onions, mashed potato and gravy. After eating dinner, we did our family home evening and since tomorrow Jessica is leaving for the girl's camp and their theme is "BOOT (Building Our Own Testimony) CAMP" we based our lesson on their theme to give her a head start on it and familiarize the scripture that goes with their theme.

(D & C 9:7-9)
7 Behold, you have not understood; you have supposed that I would give it unto you, when you took no thought save it was to ask me.

8 But, behold, I say unto you, that you must study it out in your mind; then you must ask me if it be right, and if it is right I will cause that your bosom shall burn within you; therefore, you shall feel that it is right.

9 But if it be not right you shall have no such feelings, but you shall have a stupor of thought that shall cause you to forget the thing which is wrong; therefore, you cannot write that which is sacred save it be given you from me. ).

We had a great lesson and discussion!They had ice cream for treats and that made them happy especially Andrew :)
