Meeting the parents





On April 8th i meet Kaseys Parents. They are from small town in UT. They picked me up from work on that fri afternoon. We stopped at the store to grab something. I was so nervous to meet them. I wanted to make a really good impression on them. Right away i could tell how sweet they were holding hands and sweet to each other. And they were very kind to me. We came back to the apartment and me and kasey made dinner chicken Enchiladas. Which turned out really good. I put combo of a few recipes together and made up my own. I will post the recipe sometime later. Than we played phase ten and i won, i guess you would think i would sugar coat it and let them win but i am competitive. So i smoked them all!
On sat morning they all came out to get me and his dad looked at my car to see what was wrong w it. He couldn't do anything for it. While they did that i finished getting ready. we made a few stops at the store and so on than back to the apartment, changed in the dress clothes. We than we went to the temple to do an endowment session w his parents. Which was really nice and we took pics after. Than we(Kasey. me and his parents) went to early dinner(330) at Tucanos Brazilian Grill, and my mom also met us their. which was really good and we were stuffed when we left, there was no need to eat anything else the rest of the day. My mom liked his parents and i think they liked my mom.
Than the four of us went shopping at DI my first time being in there since i was a teen which was for a YW activity. His mom was looking for pioneer trek clothes and i had a list of things kasey need at his place he didn't have. We split up our seperate ways in the store his parents and us. And than i looked at clothes and found me a cute shirt and Kasey tried to find pants. We tried on clothes and modeled for each other. kasey had no luck as he couldn't find tall and skinny pants, lol.
than we went and rented two movies and went back to his apartment and we watched one and decided we could watch another, i forgot what movies we watched but it was a nice fun day! Than it was late and kasey took me home. His parents left the next morning to head home back to UT. It was a nice fun weekend that went really well. It did go so fast too. I really loved his parents they were so sweet and his mom is so funny her personality just made me laugh. They were really cute together.

Preparing for the parents

Kasey parents were coming and so i came over and helped him get his place together for them. Not that it wasn't clean, cause he is pretty clean but he is still a guy. So i thought we would do it the way a girl would. I helped him reorganize things, w my strong suggestions, but always his choice and he trust me that i know what i am doing. See i am a clean freak and organizing is my speciality. We did the bathroom, his bedroom, kitchen. I don't like clutter, so we de-cluttered. I made sure the whole time i was not over stepping my bounds and he was OK w what i did. I think he liked a just took over. It was so fun for me! But at the end of the day i was so tired that Tues evening. When i came the next time he had the living room all done. So we got to relax and prepped the dinner for the next night. The next day he told me how nice it looked and how much he appreciated my help in doing that. His parents thought it looked really nice too!

faith

I am almost finished w the Book of Morman and i am reading about faith and that is something i have been really striving to work on and i read this so thought i would share.

"The Prophet Joseph . . . explained that 'faith is not only the principle of action, but of power also, in all intelligent beings, whether in heaven or on earth' (Lectures on Faith, 3). Thus, faith in Christ leads to righteous action, which increases our spiritual capacity and power. Understanding that faith is a principle of action and of power inspires us to exercise our moral agency in compliance with gospel truth, invites the redeeming and strengthening powers of the Savior's Atonement into our lives, and enlarges the power within us whereby we are agents unto ourselves (see D&C 58:28)."

Keys

"In 1976 an area general conference was held in Copenhagen, Denmark. Following the closing session, President Spencer W. Kimball desired to visit the Vor Frue Church, where the Thorvaldsen statues of the Christus and of the Twelve Apostles stand. . . .

"In Peter's hand, depicted in marble, is a set of heavy keys. President Kimball pointed to those keys and explained what they symbolized. Then, in an act I shall never forget, he turned to President Benthin [of the Copenhagen stake] and with unaccustomed firmness pointed his finger at him and said, 'I want you to tell everyone in Denmark that I hold the keys! We hold the real keys, and we use them every day.'

"I will never forget that declaration, that testimony from the prophet. The influence was spiritually powerful; the impression was physical in its impact."

Agency

"We were given our agency. We must use it wisely and remain close to the Spirit; otherwise, we foolishly find ourselves yielding to the enticements of the adversary. We know that through the Atonement of Jesus Christ our mistakes can be washed clean, and our mortal body will be restored to its perfect frame.

" 'For behold, the Spirit of Christ is given to every man, that he may know good from evil; wherefore, I show unto you the way to judge; for every thing which inviteth to do good, and to persuade to believe in Christ, is sent forth by the power and gift of Christ; wherefore ye may know with a perfect knowledge it is of God' (Moroni 7:16).

"There is a perfect manner of communication through the Spirit, 'for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God' (1 Corinthians 2:10)."

Boyd K. Packer, "Prayer and Promptings" Ensign, Nov. 2009, 43–44
