Andrew and Jessica had fun watching and dancing to the music of Lazytown "Wake Up" I wanted to take a video the first time they did it because Andrew was dancing a lot but unfortunately he didn't want any video. So I tried to sneak in.
On this video, he was crying right when he saw me taking this one.
So this time I hid in one of the rooms and just zoom in my camera. He didn't do as much as the first time because he knows I'm taking a video. Oh well..:)

Together with my companion we went visiting teaching today. We had a great time and I enjoyed the lesson a lot! This month's message is "The Gospel of Jesus Christ Teaches the Eternal Potential of the Children of God". Before giving the lesson my companion shared an episode from the TV show "Everybody Loves Raymund" (I don't watch this show but their episode last night was interesting. Last night episode was "Talk To Your Daughter"- Armed with research and much preparation, Ray is ready to speak with Ally about the facts of life only to find that Ally's interest has changed from where babies come from to the meaning of life. Totally unprepared for this line of questioning, a baffled Ray gets unsolicited advice from his family on how to answer. In one of their conversations the daughter asked "Why we're here? and the father's answer was "Because heaven is crowded!". 
To some it may be funny but I agree with what my companion had said that she was so sorry to hear such an answer. I remember as a missionary, my most favorite lesson to teach to people was the "Plan Of Salvation" It was always a spiritual experience for me when we taught this lesson especially to families. As a member of the true church, I know I'm blessed to have this knowledge, it gives me hope and purpose as I wrestle with the challenges of life.. The plan of salvation is the fullness of the gospel. It includes the Creation, the Fall, the Atonement of Jesus Christ, and all the laws, ordinances, and doctrines of the gospel. Because of this plan, we can be perfected through the Atonement, receive a fullness of joy, and live forever in the presence of God. Our family relationships can last throughout the eternities. At times, I'm still having a hard time coping with the loss of my baby boy but the plan of salvation gives me hope that I can see him and be with him again someday.

We went to the Ogden Temple yesterday as a family and did baptism for the dead. It was Jessica's first time so she was pretty excited about it and she wanted to do it every Friday when Russ and I go to the temple.
Andrew posed outside while waiting. He kept on asking why he can't go inside the temple. I had to explain to him why he can't go inside yet but in the meantime he can he can do everything he can to prepare himself so he can go inside someday.

On Labor Day my friends and I decided to get together @ Ritchie & Tyler's house.We enjoyed some food together. The kids played WII and they had a blast! It's always fun to be with great friends all the time whatever the occasion may be. Monday, September 1, 2008
Rachel Taylor has been called to serve in the Austria Vienna mission. She begins her journey of salvation with high ideals, low language skills and a determination to change the world. Through her challenges with the culture, cuisine and a cantankerous companion, she struggles to find meaning behind the very beliefs she has set forth to share. Sister Taylor discovers that her greatest change will come from within as she finds love for those less lovable and learns the true purpose of her mission.
Russ and I watched The Errand Of Angels. We liked it! Some scenes were particularly moving and well done but there were some scenes that we thought was overplayed. The movie will be especially enjoyed by those who have served a mission.

We had a ward pool party last night at Layton Surf and Swim. The party was supposed to be from 7-10pm but we were forced to end an hour early because of the thunderstorm that was on it's way. We invited 2 of our our non-member friends to come with us and everybody had a lot of fun!
