Places of many Great memoreis

You are right mom...this is "HOW" to take a picture! You are one beautiful mama...

So this is where my mom grew up and where we got to learn the ins and outs of farming.

I love this picture. This is still where my mom grew up. Grandpa's corral system and "the red" barn. Some great hiding places in there.

Then this is the church house I grew up attending. Just to give you an idea of how different the land is there. It took us about 30 to 45 minutes or long to get to church each Sunday. Of course winter was longer. We had a hour drive to go to our Stake Conferences and to drive from one side of our stake to the other was a 10 hour drive. A little different here that's for sure! This is also where we went to Seminary. I had to be up @ 5:30 am. I know not too bad now...but for a teenager...I am sorry but HELL is all that comes to mind! I came to conclusion that I am just not a morning person, because I figured that after doing Seminary for 4 years and NEVER once adjusting to that time in the morning. Mornings just weren't made for me!!!!! uh, still that way!

Mothers

"Yours is the work of salvation, and therefore you will be magnified, compensated, made more than you are and better than you have ever been as you try to make honest effort, however feeble you may sometimes feel that to be. Do the best you can through these year, but whatever else you do, cherish that role that is so uniquely yours and for which heaven itself sends angels to watch over you and your little ones.... The very fact that you have been given such responsibility is everlasting evidence of the trust your Father in Heaven has in you... If you strive to love God, if you try your best to be the best parent you can bem you will have done all that a human being can do and all that God expects you to do....Remember, remember all the days of your motherhood: 'Ye have not come thus far save it were by the word of Christ with unshaken faith in him, relying wholly upon the merits of him who is mights to save.' Rely on Him. Rely on Him heavily. Rely on Him forever. And 'press forward with a steadfastness in Christ, having a perfect brightness of hop.' You are doing God's work."
