I found these in my drafts.  He has no hair back then.

Personal Progress--Faith

So I completed Faith Value Experience 5 and I wanted to share my testimony on the atonement.  Now I'm not as eloquent as some people.

I'm extremely grateful, impressed, and full of love for my Savior. Heavenly Father and Christ knew what they wanted in the end, they knew what path to use to get there, and they created a plan to make it possible. They thought of everything. They knew that we had to be able to choose and planed for the fall. They knew that because of the fall nobody would make it, so they planed for the Atonement. They know so much.
I know there was transgression from the Law and we fell because of it and are cut off from God. The Lord was merciful and didn't want us to live forever in our sins, so he made it possible for us to die. Therefore, we needed resurrection and atonement: to be saved from death and sin. And the Savior did that.
The Savior suffered our pain. We can be saved if we repent, are baptized, and have faith in Christ.
I am so grateful for the atonement that I am able to repent of my sins and not spiritually perish if I follow the Lord. I am grateful that Christ went through with the plan even though it caused Him great suffering. He went through it for us that he may know how to help us in our time of need if we will let him. When I remember that he took upon Him our pains (pains we feel because of life and because of our sins/transgressions) and he suffered for us, it make me want to be better, to try my hardest not to sin.

Labor Day Weekend

Saturday:
We went to Trafalga in Lehi with Erin and David.

 We played some Mini-golf

We played 3 rounds of Laser Tag.

 And we found out that Erin is a much better rock climber than Michael.

 

Sunday:

We had dinner with James & Charity and Clark & Sara.

Monday:

Played some games with Zach. and had Family Home Evening with the West at Aunt Martha's home.  It was a great time.  Hopefully we'll be able to go next month.

How we spend our time.

So Michael spends his time working, I spend my time looking for work. I had an interview today and 2 rejections last week.

We're also have 2 church that we do together.  Our Ward is in the same stake as the State Hospital Branch.  So we got called to work in that branch; this was probably at the beginning of June.  We teach family home evening there on Monday to a unit there.  We have had as many as 12 people and as few as 6, but we generally get around 8 people.  We also go to their sacrament on Sunday and then the last 2 hours of our own ward.
Our second calling we got 2 Sundays ago.  We got called to be primary teachers for upper primary.
However, we may not be able to keep both callings, so well see what will happen with that.

Birthday

 So Isaac had a Birthday and turned 2.  He had some fun blowing out those candles over and over.  Afterward we went down and watch Sherlock.

I've come a bit obsessed with it of late and I've only seen 2 of the 3 episode.  I found out that John has a blog and that Sherlock's web site The Science of Deduction does exist.  And the next 3 should come out sometime next year.
