One of my favorite stories in the Book of Mormon occurs just previous to the birth of Jesus Christ. Across the ocean on the American continent lived a people descendant from a prophet who followed the Lord and left Jerusalem with his family 600 years earlier. At the time of the birth of the Savior,…
“Its seriously the smallest church building you’ve ever seen,” I say to Jess as she wrangles Cara’s dress over her head last Sunday morning. “No way. Really? Are they even going to have a primary for the kids?” she asks. “No idea,” I respond. “But I guess we’ll go find out.” We arrive at the…
Every once in a while, some life event sneaks up on me and suddenly brings me to terms with my age. In September, my oldest daughter Rachel turned 8. I was suddenly reminded that yes, I was old enough and had been married long enough to have an 8 year old child. Turning 8 is…
I’ve always had mixed feelings about Thanksgiving. Growing up, for me, it was a holiday to get together with all of my extended family, play games all day, eat around 3pm, play more games and then eat dessert when we finally thought we could fit it in before heading home late that night. Sam, on…
Note: This is a post I wrote back in August when we first picked up our Airstream from Illinois. At the time I didn’t feel like I wanted to share it, but now I feel like its an appropriate addition to our Sunday posts… We are in Louisville, Kentucky. It’s hot. And humid. And ridiculously…
Hi, Just came across your site and I have enjoyed reading your stories. I have a wife and 4 kids and we full time in a fifth wheel. Although we don’t travel as much as I would like(cause I don’t have time to stop and smell the roses) we do seem to get around. So far my work this year has sent from ND to UT to SC to OK and next month TX then finally stay the winter in Laramie, WY. Burrrrr why can’t they send me south in winter and north in summer?
Anyway, Its nice to read about other mormon families doing the same thing we are. You have a good way of writing about the gospel and I enjoyed it. Its funny how we become missionaries when traveling and we don’t even realize it. My wife and kids have gotten out of there comfort zones on several occasions to share the gospel with people they meet.
Thanks for sharing your life.
Thanks for reading and for your compliments. We love meeting other LDS families, so if we are ever nearby let’s do dinner!
