Awesome Video

Sometimes I think we take our testimonies and our temples so for granted. This is a cool UTube to remind us of how awesome this is in the lives of these members. I will be more grateful.

A Good Story on being a Good Missionary

I recieved this from a friend:

Subject: Mormon Missionary

Several years ago, a newly called Mormon Missionary accepted a
call to serve in Houston , Texas . Some weeks after he arrived, he and
his companion had occasion to ride the bus from their apartment to the
downtown area. When he sat down, he discovered that the driver had accidentally
given him a quarter too much change.. As he considered what to do, he thought to
himself, 'You'd better give the quarter back. It would be wrong to keep it.'

Then he thought, 'Oh, forget it, it's only a quarter. Who would worry about
this little amount? Anyway, the bus company gets too much fare; they will
never miss it. Accept it as a 'gift from God' and keep quiet.'

When his stop came, he paused momentarily at the door, and
then he handed the quarter to the driver and said, 'Here, you gave me too much
change ..' The driver, with a smile, replied, 'Aren't you the new
missionaries at the Mormon Church in town?' 'Yes' he replied.

'Well, I have been thinking a lot lately about going somewhere
to worship. I just wanted to see what you would do if I gave you too much
change. I'll see you at church on Sunday.' When the missionary
stepped off of the bus, he literally grabbed the nearest light pole, held
on, and said, 'Oh Heavenly Father, I almost sold your Son for a quarter.'

Our lives are the only scripture some people will ever read.
This is a really scary example of how much people watch us as Mormons,

and will put us to the test! Always be on guard -- and remember -- You carry the name
of Christ on your shoulders when you are baptized and take the Sacrament.

Watch your thoughts ; they become words.

Watch your words; they become actions.

Watch your actions; they become habits.

Watch your habits; they become character.

Watch your character; it becomes your destiny.

Happy Valentine's Day to You!

Hope you have a wonderful day and know you are loved by many, especailly us.

Love, Sister Romans and Sister Hoffmann xoxo

Cake Pops!

We had a wonderful time learning how to make
yummy cake pops w/ the Beehives.


Leslie, Cate & Summer making a chocolate cake!

Alex & Katie had no problem crumbling and mixing the cake
with gooey frosting to form our cake balls.

Carla, Merrick, Nyabora, & Kiara.
We love the Beehives!

Leslie did a wonderful job melting the chocolate until it was creamy smooth,
while Merrick dipped in the cake pop sticks.

Katie, Alex, Leslie & Summer making their pretty packages for the cake pops!
