Elder Evan's Epistles

What we do in temples is make more covenants, or promises, like at baptism, with Heavenly Father. One of them is getting sealed to our families, for time and all eternity. This week, who visits the Americas in the Book of Mormon? Mom I made my first batch of cookies Monday, and the oven burned them pretty good on the bottom so that was super sad. But the tops are delicious! Also we were out walking around a neighborhood and a member gave us a call and asked, do you want some cake? And we were like sure, what's it for?

Also the Christmas initiative is coming up, and we are starting to show the video at dinners, have you guys back home seen it? It should be a very fun Christmas.

Bad things happen to good people because life isn't supposed to be easy, Elder Pingree said in his talk "Our trials help us discover and prepare for the work Heavenly Father has for us. Alma explained, “After much tribulation, the Lord … made me an instrument in his hands” (Mosiah 23:10).

As for last Monday, someone found a hidden gem on LDS media library, we watched Johhny Lingo, and I was so excited! http://mediasrv.lds.org/mediaservices/ML/size/1030847785001/640/480/1538283 Evan's view of the blimp Tuesday was super sweet because we got a call from New York, a set of Elders there gave us a ca...
