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).
-Elder David A. BednarOf the Quorum of the Twelve Apostles

Home Again and Vacation day 1

Hey we are finally back it was a long vacation but it was tons of fun and I took tons of pictures. I'm trying to figure out how to blog about it all without it becoming over whelming. I think I will report on our trip a day at a time so here it goes.
We left on Tuesday around 5 p.m. and drove to the Nevada/California State Line and Stayed at Whiskey Pete's, what a name for a hotel. Oh well, we were only there to rest our heads for a few hours then we got up and were on the road again.


The kids outside of the hotel Wednesday Morning.

Wednesday Morning we drove the rest of the way into Oceanside, Where we had an awesome place to stay. We went with my sister Jill and her husband Cameron. They own a time share and turned in their stay for two awesome suites. These rooms were larger then out last apartment. They had a master bedroom, a Kitchen and dinning room area, a living room, and a patio.


This is the view from our Patio. We were so close to the beach that when I forgot my camera. I just walked back to the room and got it. There was an ally way, a row of houses, a road and then we were on the beach. That's my kind of living.



Our family loved the beach and we had so much fun. It made us want to live in So. California just so we could go to the beach. The beach wasn't busy and the weather was great so everyone could just run and play and have their freedom.
