Joy in our Journey

Kims:

What Book of Mormon heros can we compare our girls to?





Emily (February 8) - KING BENJAMIN....We think Emily is like King Benjamin because she has a very generous heart. For example, this Christmas she got a big marshmallow treat in her stocking. She went about on Christmas sharing this treat with everyone. At the end of the day when we asked her what her favorite gift was, she said the marshmallow treat was one of her favorites. We were so touched by her generosity in selflessly sharing her favorite gift with everyone she could. This is one example of many -she is so wonderful at sharing with others and giving generously. For this reason, we think of King Benjamin for Emily.

Angela (May 16) - LEHI - Angela has the gift of obedience. Her desire to be obedient to her parents, leaders, teachers and Heavenly Father is so evident in her life. Just as Lehi left Jerusalem and all that he had to be obedient - we see that same obedience in Angela! She is such an example to us of being obedient even when it might be difficult or something we don't feel like doing - just as Lehi did.

Carolyn (May 24) - Alma and Amulek - When we think of Alma and Amulek, we think of amazing missionaries. Carolyn definitely has a gift of being a missionary. In first grade, Carolyn's teacher told me that Carolyn was the most spiritual child she had ever taught (and she had taught for about 30 years) - she said Carolyn incorporated God into so many things the class would talk about. Carolyn is amazing at sharing her testimony to others and inviting others to learn of Him.
