My Dad is a Lucky Guy

Today Carly went up to bear her testimony in Sacrament Meeting. She said that she is getting baptized in 4 months and that she was really excited. Then she said, "My Dad is a really lucky guy because he has four beautiful daughters." That was all.

Austin bore his testimony since it was his month to conduct. He bore a strong testimony that he knows that God lives, that God has a plan for us, and that we will see God again.  He told about his cousin, Bobby DePoe, that just passed away.

I also bore my testimony and told about our trip to see Les for New Year's Eve. Les lives 22 miles off the highway near Lewistown, Montana. Austin's parents had gone the day before and got stuck and had to walk the last mile, so we knew the roads were snowy. We had four-wheel drive so we thought we could make it. Nope. We got stuck in the same place. We sent Hanna to run ahead to tell Les we were stuck. A couple miles before we got stuck, we had seen some hunters on four-wheelers. They pulled up next to us within a couple minutes and told us their tractor was on its way to pull us out. They said they had seen us drive by and decided to keep their eye on us to make sure we got through. When they saw we were stuck, they sent one group to tell their Grandpa to bring the tractor. He was there in a couple minutes, pulled us out, and then plowed the road to get through. By then Grandpa had come in Les's tractor to help us.

My analogy was that the Savior is always watching us from the ridge. He keeps us eye on us and sends help as soon as we are stuck. Sometimes he sends the Holy Ghost to guide, comfort, protect and direct us. Sometimes he sends angels that we can't see to help us.  Other times angels that we can see help us and watch over us.
