The Lord's Hand

We recently have been praying and fasting quite a bit to understand what the Lord wants us to do. We felt like it's finally time for Jim to really start pursuing his dream of LDS film. So, after much prayer and going to the Temple the Lord finally told us that it's time to head back to Utah when our lease runs out here end of July. Some of you might be scratching your head wondering how we can move with two kids and no job there. Well, I'll tell you: faith. We KNOW that this is what the Lord wants us to do and that he will provide for us and take care of us as long as we do his will. I'm not scared or worried because, I know that if I trust in the Lord and do my part that all will be will .
Seeing as we're facing a huge life change now, I would like to share some of the great blessings we've received in the past two years we've been here.

-Amazing friends that we love and will miss dearly
-I've learned how to push myself and have grown into a strong new person
-We now eat healthy and rarely eat junk or binge (Huzzah for organic, whole grains by the way)
-We've also become more eco-friendly (organic eating, cloth diapers, eco-friendly laundry soap, etc.)
-I've recently lost almost 30 pounds and have confidence in myself
-Emilyne came to us and blessed our family
-Than became an amazing big brother and is now a gentlemen that opens doors and tells me thank you for the fun we have together
-Jim got to baptize a friend of ours into the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints



-Our marriage has been strengthened and we really have become one in these four short years
-Our testimonies and our faith have grown to new heights, we trust in the Lord and do not fear
-I have recently become friends with my sister and I am now best friends with my Mom (and I honestly never thought I'd say that)
-I enjoy being a Mom in every way, even the nights I get no sleep or the days where I have to clean everything (even 10 poopy diapers)

In conclusion, I couldn't be happier with my life and family. I praise and thank the Lord for EVERYTHING we have. I want you all to know that I know that Jesus is the Christ and our personal Savior. That because of Him, my family will be together forever and that couldn't bring me more joy and peace. Thank you and we love you all.

  1. We'll miss you, but at least we can come visit when we come back to Utah to visit our families.
