So my parents took us all to the BYU Basketball game.
Michael has been feeling sick this whole week and he's been busy with school, but he said he wanted to go to the game. When I went to find him when it was time to go, I found him asleep on the floor. So I left him at home.
Here are some pictures of the games
It was all fun until about the end of the game. Isaac got really tired. He had been awake since 3am. So James took the three of them into hallway area (I don't know the name of that thing). I then got a text from James saying "Can you come help?" (Luckily it came 4 minuets to 10. My phone stops receiving text at 10.) So I went down to find them and this is what I saw.
Despite all of the commotion going around him, he fell asleep on James' foot.
Violet was still having the time of her life.

The Fruit
So I was reading the Book of Mormon 1 Nephi Chapter 8 about Lehi's dream of the Tree of Life. So Lehi saw this fruit on a tree. Not really knowing what it would taste like, Lehi took a bite. It turned it tasted amazing. So good in fact that he wanted his family to see how good it tasted. So he continue to eat this wonderful fruit, partaking of the Love of God, looking for his family. As he looked for his family he saw a river, an iron rod, and a path leading to the Tree of Life that had this amazing fruit. He found his family and called to them to come try this wonderful fruit. Then I read this part:
24 And it came to pass that I beheld others pressing forward, and they came forth and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron; and they did press forward through the mist of darkness, clinging to the rod of iron, even until they did come forth and partake of the fruit of the tree.
Now what I find funny is that Lehi is so caught up in the fruit "was most sweet, above all that I ever before tasted" and "filled [his] soul with exceedingly great joy" that he didn't notice this a great and spacious building. He notice a river and a rod which is surely not as noticeable as a Large Building. He just standing there enjoying his life now that he has this fruit, not noticing the people across the river are mocking him.
24 And it came to pass that I beheld others pressing forward, and they came forth and caught hold of the end of the rod of iron; and they did press forward through the mist of darkness, clinging to the rod of iron, even until they did come forth and partake of the fruit of the tree.
25 And after they had partaken of the fruit of the tree they did cast their eyes about as if they were ashamed.
26 And I also cast my eyes round about, and beheld, on the other side of the river of water, a great and spacious building; and it stood as it were in the air, high above the earth.
I can just image Lehi nudging the person next to him saying, "Isn't this fruit great."
And the other person saying, "I know, right."
Then Lehi looking over seeing someone who is not enjoying this fruit that he knows is amazing. He wonders why they are not enjoying this taste of the Love of God. He notice that they are looking at something. Lehi looks to where they are casting their eyes and for the first time Lehi sees this large building. And in this large building are people that are mocking him.
Now what I find funny is that Lehi is so caught up in the fruit "was most sweet, above all that I ever before tasted" and "filled [his] soul with exceedingly great joy" that he didn't notice this a great and spacious building. He notice a river and a rod which is surely not as noticeable as a Large Building. He just standing there enjoying his life now that he has this fruit, not noticing the people across the river are mocking him.
