him breakfast. He is not home until 8 or 9 pm. I am so glad he is willing to love and serve others. We could spend our Sunday's sleeping in and shopping or playing around but we believe that for us following the law of the Sabbath is a blessing. I don't even miss him on the days he is doing service. I do miss him when he hunts or is working. I think God helps me. I have different meeting depending on the week for YW. This last Sunday I taught the lesson on Chasity. It was at first a little uncomfortable. I had done much reading on the topic from old manuals and conference reports. I am glad I got the chance to revisit a topic that has not changed in Gods eyes. It keeps people happy and safe. I thought of the laws God gives us and how they are all there to guide and protect not to restrict or punish. It is like he has an Ariel view and we can't see the pitfalls so he is directing our path. We can choose to follow or not. He will never force himself on us or his view. There were great discussions and it ended up being a neat experience. The teenagers said it was blunt. I shared with them that I felt it was direct as to leave no doubt about what is right or wrong. If you can't see that there is a sin involved how can you truly repent or get help? there is complete forgiveness but first we have to see the mistake. Usually we are so defensive and sad it is hard for the spirit to touch our hearts and heal us. We have to choose to let it in. I'm hoping my next lesson will be a little lighter in nature:) There are many things in this life so I am humble that my partner in life wants to follow the laws of God. We are far far from perfect but we do have a desire to be better and we keep doing our best. Scott is good to remind me we don't have to be perfect, we just have to put God first and do our best and when we fall short he still loves us and we get up and try again.

Sunday
Our Sundays are long. They start with preparations made Sat night. Scott leaves the house at 6:50 am on Sundays so I get up early to make

I'm glad you were blunt with your lesson. There are so many things that the youth today don't understand, and sometimes they actually listen to their friends lousy advice or come up with things on their own.
It was about two years ago I heard a story that made my skin crawl. There was a group of Jr High/High School girls that thought it was fun to french kiss boys. Their idea of french kissing was way off, and in actuality were all performing a much more serious transgression.
As teachers, leaders, and parents, we can't just let kids figure things like this out on their own. We have to talk about this kind of stuff, even if it's awkward.
It was the President Kinmball lesson for the Relief Society sisters but the YW came in too.
