All I have to do is move an hour south and my Sainthood will be assured.

For Family Home Evening last night, Joel read a scripture out of Acts (I think....anyway Paul was talking to people somewhere). When he said that Paul was speaking to the Saints, he asked the girls what Saints were.



Chloe: The Latter-day Saints!



Bria: The people of St. George?

    I guess I need to move south, if that is what it takes.

    in planning a 3 mile hike for our young women I indicated that I didn't think it was particularly necessary to head out of town to find anything too rugged, that many of the simple trails locally would suffice. The YW President followed my comment with her testimony of how important it is for the YW to complete this hike (mind you its a one time deal) because ...and I quote..."At some point they will be required to walk to Missouri to gather with the saints, this is really important." Apparently there won't be any vehicles in the future, and all 12 million of us are going to gather in Missouri...the revelation that we should build zion in our own homes across the world apparently has been reversed. Who knew? So when you head to St. George, don't take your car with you, and make sure the kids know its only temporary and you'll be walking your way to Missouri as soon as you get the call from your home teacher.

    Of course, you know where you end up if you pass straight through Sainthood and keep heading south...

    ...that's right. Las Vegas.

    I didn't know that. I wasn't offended and was just teasing in my above comment. I hope no one else was offended. Sorry. Oh, and I actually think it might be fun to meet in St. George sometime.

    Kids say the funniest things. Isn't it great that we at least have blogs so that we can share these little gems with the world?
