We should not underestimate or overlook the power of the Lord’s tender mercies. The simpleness, the sweetness, and the constancy of the tender mercies of the Lord will do much to fortify and protect us in the troubled times in which we do now and will yet live. When words cannot provide the solace we need or express the joy we feel, when it is simply futile to attempt to explain that which is unexplainable, when logic and reason cannot yield adequate understanding about the injustices and inequities of life, when mortal experience and evaluation are insufficient to produce a desired outcome, and when it seems that perhaps we are so totally alone, truly we are blessed by the tender mercies of the Lord and made mighty even unto the power of deliverance (see 1 Ne. 1:20).

First Grade

It is finally here!!!!!
ShiAnne has been anxiously awaiting this day, the first day of school.


A classic sequence of events!
A little boy trying to be controlled by his older sisters,


the escape,


and the total look of discuss with his sisters, after it is all over.


This picture was taken outside of the school after it was over.
Do you think she LIKED or should I say LOVED it?!!
