I Hope They Call Me on a Mission!

Ever since I was old enough to talk, I have wanted to be a missionary! When I heard David O McKay's slogan "every member a missionary" I was ecstatic! Although I have never served a full-time mission, I have had the privileged of having several friends hear the goodness of the Gospel in my home. Those experiences are priceless and will forever be dear to me! The Missionaries that came and taught...the Spirit that protected our home... the love and laughter that we shared, they will forever be part of who I am!

I do have to say that there is a small part of me that still wishes I would've had the opportunity to serve a full-time mission. These kids make it look sooooooooo awesome!!! I guess I will have to live vicariously through them for now!  ;)

P-Day = Preparation Day IV

It is so much fun to get pictures in your Monday/P-Day email or letter! I don't think there is anything that makes a Missionary Momma happier, except maybe that Mother's Day or Christmas Skype/call! It does a Momma's heart good to see her Missionary doing great things in the world and enjoying his or her mission!

Oh, there's sunshine, blessed sunshine

When the peaceful happy moments roll.

When Jesus shows his smiling face,

There is sunshine in the soul.

Then wake up and do something more

Than dream of your mansion above.

Doing good is a pleasure, a joy beyond measure,

A blessing of duty and love.

READ THIS BOOK!

“Is there not something deep in our hearts that longs to draw nearer to God? … If so, then the Book of Mormon will help us do so more than any other book."

Teachings of Presidents of the Church: Ezra Taft Benson, (2014), 125–35

A dear friend of mine called me a couple weeks ago and asked me if I would teach her Relief Society lesson for her. So, I got right to studying the lesson. Saturday, to my complete horror, I realized I had prepared THE WRONG LESSON!!!

As my mind raced around in circles, I remembered a video that one of our sweet Missionary Mommas had recently put together for HER RS lesson... and I realized that it was the same lesson that I was SUPPOSED to be teaching!!! So, I copied her idea and put this together!

The Gospel is true. Reading The Book of Mormon is one of the best ways to receive answers to your prayers! Take time today to...

GOOFY IV

Last year we had a fun photo competition for Mother's Day, this year we have taken a compilation of "goofy pics" and put them together for your viewing pleasure! As Missionary Mommas, we can be goofy... running around snapping pictures of Sisters and Elders that we encounter on our grocery runs, carpool drives and library trips. We cry at the drop of a hat (or song), we network better than the FBI, and we are on a first-name basis with the folks at the Post Office! BUT WE DON'T PHOTOGRAPH OURSELVES DOING THESE THINGS!!!!  HAHA!

Enjoy your soggy cereal in bed, your Skype or your call, your petunia (or other gift from your ward) ... and have a laugh or two on us! HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!

Anna's Testimony

I had asked my dear friend Anna Carbone to share her story and testimony with me so I could share it at the MM Workshop. I was sick when I discovered that I didn't have the right cords to be able to make that happen! Soooo, I want to share this with you now! 

Thank you Anna for your sharing enthusiasm, your humor and your sweet spirit on Missionary Mommas! WE LOVE YOU!

Future MM Workshops will be announced soon!!!!

First EVER MM Workshop!

Last weekend a few of us MMs gathered together in Orem at the LDS Missionary Expo for the first ever Missionary Momma Workshop! There were some fantastic speakers that came to deliver some wonderful messages to the Mommas!

We want to share them with all of you!!!
