Sabbath Day!

Today is Sunday and I woke up with a stomach ache and having to go to the bathroom, not the best way to start my Sabbath Day. So I told David and was still planning on going to church until he told me it wasn't such a good idea. We all stayed home because I am the only one who could drive. It turned out to be a very relaxing and spiritual day. To start with we decided that we would have a testimony meeting with our family because it's testimony meeting at church. We sang "Keep the Commandments" and then had a prayer. I read a little about how we need to be Valiant in the cause of Christ. It was in the May 2009 New Era. After that all the children bore their testimony. It is so amazing to see the growth in my children. I love to hear them testify of Christ. We closed with singing "I'm trying to be like Jesus" and saying a closing prayer.

After our little impromptu meeting, I had the kids work on their church programs (Personal Progress, Duty to God, and Faith in God). The children, all except for Jared and Jessica, had fasted for my sister and we closed with a prayer and let them eat. It is so fun to see that they can learn the concepts of the gospel from such an early age.

We had a really fun afternoon playing games together as a family (Thank you Michelle). Banana Grams and Guesstures are very fun. Some of the kids like Banana Grams but all of them like to play Guesstures. It was funny watching them try to act out words. We laughed and had a really great time.

I am planning on making Chicken Enchilada's for Dinner. I am just basking in the glow of peace and comfort that came with this wonderful Sabbath Day.
