"The desire to create is one of the deepest yearnings of the human soul. No matter our talents, education, backgrounds or abilities, we each have an inherent wish to create something that did not exist before. Everyone can create. You don’t need money, position, or influence in order to create something of substance or beauty. You might say, I am not the creative type. If that is how you feel, think again. Creation is your opportunity in this life….. Start small. Creativity does not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano. Don’t let the voice of critics paralyze you. You will make the World a better place. Improve, beautify, extend, smile, cultivate, develop, create."
~President Dieter F. Uchtdorf

Book of Mormon

I was reading the Book of Mormon to the kids during breakfast. We just started and are still in 1 Nephi. We were talking about how Nephi is writing this, etc and Nathan says, "So, Nephi wrote this? Well, how did we get it?" I felt my face light up. Golden Teaching Moment!!! So, I explained about burying them in a hole and Heavenly Father  protected it until an angel came to...who? I started giving hints. "He was the very first prophet... He saw Heavenly Father and Jesus... His name was J...J...Jo...ss...e...ph Sssss...mmm... And then Nora (not who I was expecting) yells, "Joseth Smif!" (How cute is that pronunciation??) And Nathan said, "Yeah, Joseph Smith." I told them yes, and that Joseph Smith translated them into English so we could read it.

It was just a really cute and precious moment I wanted to record to remember. Cuties.
