One of the Greatest Men

President Gordon B. Hinckley emphasizes the value of the Book of Mormon to all Christians.

So I can only imagine the reunion that took place up in Heaven last night! All the high fives by all the previous profits! Can you even imagine him getting to talk face to face with all the old school profits like Nephi and Moroni, as well as Josephe Smith etc? How cool that would be to witness! As for us here though, there is definitely a sense of loss. How great to have the knowledge we do though to know that this is not the end. President Hinkley magnified his calling a thousand times over! The growth in membership and number of temples is truly amazing. How priviledged we are to have been a alive during his time as president! He asked us all to read the Book of Mormon by year end, and I am so excited that I can say that I was one of the members who did this. (That doesn't happen very often!) Looking through the different pictures of him posted on the LDS website I found this one with the heading listed above. I have already given you all my New Year's Resolution and I plan on keeping that one and seeing it through to the end of the year; but I feel like this one has a little bit more importance so I am adding this to my list, to read the BofM before the end of the year. I am sure to many this would be easily done and could probably be done several times in a year, but I know myself so I am keeping it realistic! I am glad that in Primary this is a goal as well so along with my fellow 7 turning 8 year olds I will be reading the BofM every day. I again so grateful President Hinkley and the great Man, Leader and example that he was and is to me.

IS THE CHURCH STILL TRUE?!!!!

Holy Crap! So I was just informed this morning that Matta's has closed down! I'm pretty sure they did not check with church officials on this to make sure it was ok! Pretty much this restaurant has been a Mormon Staple and a standard post marriage eatery! Where will we go? What will we eat now? Pete's Fish and Chips? Denny's?! I am perplexed! Apparently the owners retired and the sons are going to be opening up something somewhere else. Granted the area around the temple has become quite the "Ghetto Fabulous" Hood, but I'm pretty sure Matta's had some kind of Divine Angelic protection guarding it! I also feel that way about calories there! How could a place so Divine have calories? Surely the all the bad fattening ingredients turned into pure muscle! (Ok that might be stretching things a bit!), but I do believe had it been there during Brigham Young's time he would have stopped and ate there and would've totally said "This is the Place!" I feel that way about a lot of restaurants actually, but because this one is such a Mormon Staple I think it's true! I fear I may never marry now! I would have no where to eat afterwards! Well there is my blasphemous posting for the month! May we all take a moment of silence today for the loss of Matta's!

Twilight!!!!

Ladies! Mark your calendars!!! Donelle we will fly you down for this if needs be, but December 12th we have a date with Edward! Or with Jacob for you werewolf fans! I'm still not excited about who they cast as Edward, but he does look the part in this little pic. I think I might have to start a countdown calendar for this! Good times ladies, good times!!!
