"If you are still in the process of raising children, be aware that the tiny fingerprints that show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, the toys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundry to be tackled will disappear all too soon and that you will -- to your surprise -- miss them profoundly."

--Thomas S. Monson, 2009

Isabelle The Missionary....part 2

Last week, out of the blue, Izzy told Ben and I that she wanted to give one of her friends a Book of Mormon, and asked if she could ask the missionaries for one to give. We said sure, and so she got one on Sunday to give to her friend. She was so excited to give it, she wrapped it up in pink computer paper, and wrote a nice note on the front. Before she left for the bus this morning, she said our family prayer. She prayed that her friend would like the Book of Mormom. When I picked her up from the bus after school, she was so excited to tell me about giving the B of M to her friend, and that her friend said it was the best gift ever. She said 2 of her other friends want one too, and asked if she could get more for them.

This month's Friend has a little certificate you can sign your name on, saying that you will prepare now to serve a mission. Isabelle was so excited to sign it and do the things it asks. She says she wants to go on a mission one day.
