Hunter doing a cannonball at the Narrows in Gisela


We can't wait for the warmer weather, as we'll head to my family's place in Gisela and go cliff jumping at the Narrows. This picture was right after a heavy rain, so the water was muddy. I told Hunter where the rocks were and exactly where to jump. He trusted me and made a safe jump. I swam here all summer for many years as a kid, and I've seen the "landing area" in clear water. The faith Hunter exhibited was remarkable. He trusted me because he knows I love him and my perception of the swimming hole is not veiled or clouded by the mud. Ya see where I'm going with this?

The Lord Speaks to this Man




Today, Summer, the kids and I participated in the Solemn Assembly (from our home), thereby sustaining the new prophet, Thomas S. Monson, and other church leaders. It was a neat experience. This remarkable event has occurred only 15 times in the latter-day Church's 178-year history. At tonight's Priesthood Session, President Monson spoke with a very unique voice and spirit I had not before heard in him. The mantle has rested upon him; he is a prophet of God. The windows of heaven were re-opened in 1820. The Lord lives and speaks to His prophet. Learn more at http://www.jesuschrist.lds.org/.
