OUr dear Mott Family



These are pictures of our Office Couple's family. They baptized one of their children in the gulf. Nothing new for Will's family:) but it sure would be fun if this could happen with one of ours.

Some of what I am missing.

This is a picture taken at the Lakeland ZDM. It was their last meeting before the transfer. Our dear Elder Bytendorp shared this picture since my camera is batteryless.


Pictures from our temple trip. We take the missionaries going home to the temple on their last day. The temple is in Orlando so I thought you might enjoy the unique light posts there. This is a tradition that we may have to eliminate.

A picture and some thoughts


I was pondering my life before earth and was thinking that perhaps we had a 'going to earth prep class' taught by our Heavenly Father. What would the lesson content be? Probably we would be taught that we had a loving Heavenly Father who had a plan for us. We would have been taught about the creation and Adam and Eve and agency and the purpose of life, repentance, Atonement the commandments etc. Then I was thinking we could write a book, "Everything I know, I learned in Nursery" What do our little ones learn there? They have a loving Heavenly Father, He created the earth, He had a plan for them etc. His plan is so beautiful. We are taught on our present level from our pre earth life, nursery, primary, mutual, as missionaries and parents etc. Every level the same things: we have a loving Heavenly Father, He has a plan for us, etc, If we could become as little children and remember the lessons we learn in nursery and then at our parents feet and then as parents we teach the same lessons again. I truly 'stand all amazed!'
In the picture: Sister Mott, (our right hand and our left), me, Sister McDonald (a Spanish sister, Sister Platt, (a CES missionary), Sister Lopez (another Spanish sister in her first transfer), and Sister Chambers, (also our right hand and our left). I do kind of look like a canary. But a happy one at that.
