Super Why!

I'm not sure if it's Ikaika's favorite show but he does like it and so do I!

Attributes on Ikaika's list of what makes a great kid show

1. it has to be a cartoon

2. it has to be a cartoon

3. it has to be a cartoon

....getting the point? lol

Things that make a great child show on my list

1.It's child friendly, you know regarding language and content

2.it's educational

3.it's entertaining (this usually only applies to Ikaika, kid shows can be agonizing to sit through, ha ha) but hey, I wont complain about about the good benefits that come from shows like Dora, Sesame Street, Diego, Dino Dan and Team Umizoomi!

Called to Serve

Young Women

“There is no more

beautiful sight than a young woman who glows with the light of the Spirit, who is confident and courageous because she is virtuous.”

—Sister Elaine S. Dalton

you are called of God. The Lord knows you. He knows whom He would have serve in every position in His Church. He chose you. He has prepared a way so that He could issue your call.

Henry B. Eyring October General Conference

Recently in my new ward, I have been called to serve in the young womens, my initial response to Justin was "I don't know why anyone would want me to teach." Needless to say, I wasn't very confident in how I would fulfill my calling but nevertheless, I do know that our Heavenly Father does things for a reason and I needed to accept and complete my calling.

The other young women leaders and the young women in the ward are such great examples for me and it encourages me to work a little harder to do a little better. Today I went to my first auxiliary leadership training at the assembly hall. Who knew all the great resources members have to help them fulfill their callings? In a computer savvy world full of apps, it was only a matter of time before before we could use these resources in our weekly lessons, even family home evening. Which by the way, Ikaika knows way more about computers than I think a 4 year old should, it'll be a funny and sad day when he has to teach me about new technology like I taught my mom how to check text messages on her phone! lol

Anyways to get to the point, here's a great scripture....

12And now, my sons, remember, remember that it is upon the rock of our Redeemer, who is Christ, the Son of God, that ye must build your foundation; that when the devil shall send forth his mighty winds, yea, his shafts in the whirlwind, yea, when all his hail and his mighty storm shall beat upon you, it shall have no power over you to drag you down to the gulf of misery and endless wo, because of the rock upon which ye are built, which is a sure foundation, a foundation whereon if men build they cannot fall.

Helaman 5:12

As I continue to fulfill my calling I need to trust in my Savior and put in the work. Then hopefully the girls wont fall asleep during my lessons but come to enjoy young womens like I did and find it a strength in their lives. I know I looked up to my young women leaders and still do to this day.

Festival of Color

Can"t wait for spring? Why not celebrate the coming of spring at the Holi- Festival of Colors? Partly for a school assignment and because it looked like so much fun, my family, my parents and good friend Jessica, went down to Spanish Fork to the Kirshna Temple, so we could celebrate the Festival of Colors.

Holi-Festival of Colors is a traditional Indian holiday and to my understanding the throwing of colors (colorful chalk) is to celebrate the coming of spring. It's an awesome sight and everyone is covered in this brightly colored chalk! and when I say everybody i mean everybody from the babies to the elderly and it's a total riot!

Just check it out!!!
