Ralphs Ruckus: Sunday

Sunday

My favorite speakers on Sunday were:

James B. Martino. I am of course a little bit biased because he was my bishop when I was baptized at the age of 8 in Denton, Texas. I grew up with his kids and know where he comes from. It is pretty cool to personally know a general authority. The name of his talk was "All things work together for good." He basically talked about how we should react to trials and adversity.

I loved Donald L. Hallstrom's talk called "Turn to the Lord." He basically said that we should turn to the Lord when we face life's challenges not away from Him.

I can't think of a better way to spend an Easter morning. We got to hear the Mormon Tabernacle Choir sing before the first Sunday session of general conference and it was amazing. We are so lucky to have the Tabernacle Choir as a huge part of our church. They are really one of the best choirs in the world and they sing for free. Can you believe it? AMAZING is all I can say

There was no orchestra there, just the choir this time.

I just love Dieter F. Uchtdorf. I think he is a great story teller. His talk was called "You are my hands." It was a great talk about how God needs to use us to bring people to him.

I am so grateful to hear from the general authorities and I know that they are called by God. I am grateful for general conference and I can't wait unit October to listen to it again. It seems that there is so much for me to learn and every time I go to conference, my cup is filled.

Abigail is a high energy 10 year old. She is Fifth grade for the 2014-2015 school year and she is very much a people person. She loves swimming, shopping, crafts and cooking, but her most favorite thing is dance. She has also really been working hard on her tumbling over the past year or so. Abigail loves playing the piano and singing as well. Abigail has developed an interest in pageants, we will have to see where that interest takes her in the future. She is a bit of a neat freak, really good at doing household chores, and is VERY Squemish. Abigail is the best big sister and is a great example to her three younger siblings

Emily is 7 now and loves to play with her sisters and other kids. She is in first grade for the 2014-2015 school-year. She is confident, outgoing, and likes to be in charge. She is very sweet and loving and fun to talk to. She can be pretty silly at times and when she starts giggling there is no stopping her. She loves to talk and makes our hearts melt when she looks at us with those big hazel eyes. Emily is a people-pleaser and loves compliments. She has really grown to love dance and cheerleading this past year and it is very apparent that Abigail is her role model. Emily is our resident girly girl; she loves everything pink, glittery, and posh! She loves to help out around the house and thrives on praise. She is a good girl and we love her very much.

Elizabeth is 7 as well. She is full of charisma and is very spunky. Sugar and Spice is what makes up Elizabeth's personality. She is a great snuggler and cuddler, but has a mischievous streak and you can tell when she is up to something by the twinkle in her eye. She is sometimes cautious and unsure about herself, but a very deep thinker. She has an analytic brain and is our resident tom boy. She loves jeans, t-shirts, baseball caps, and monster trucks. Her favorite pass time is spent playing soccer or basketball. She has also started gymnastics this year and she is a natural. She is very strong for her size and extremely coordinated. She loves to give hugs and kisses, but if you cross her, you may regret it. Elizabeth never hesitates to express herself when it comes to people she feels comfortable with. Elizabeth loves to laugh and has a great sense of humor. She is pretty darn funny. She can make almost anything turn into a joke.
