The Best Part of Summer?

The best part of the summer? That's easy. We had the honor of having my wonderful in-laws at our home this summer. Eduardo and Manela What amazing people. I can't say enough about how much they have enriched our lives and I just think the world of them. I'm so grateful we got to spend the summer with them and I'm truly grateful for the amazing moments that presented themselves. The Lord truly does bless our lives in wonderful ways.

Summer Summary

What an amazing summer we've had this year! We kicked off our summer fun with a Mariners baseball game. Our first game as a family since we moved up here 3 years ago. We spent the evening with our friends from the ward as it was LDS night. We all got the giggles as the poor beer salesman climbed to the top of the nose bleed section to no avail. The Mariners lost, but Daniel has been showing an interest in playing next year.

David Camara Manoel Earns Star Rank

David, our 12 year old has just earned his star rank in our local scout unit. We are all very proud of the work he is doing to advance in scouting. This is something he has grown to enjoy quite a lot. David loves camping and the outdoors and demonstrates a great deal of desire to serve others, which is a core value of scouting. Kudos for a program that does so much to develop strong young men, and to his leaders as well, who are tireless in helping the boys meet their goals.

O David, nosso filho mais velho (12 anos), recebeu recentemente o ranque de "Star" na nossa unidade escutista local. Estamos todos muito orgulhosos e gratos pelo trabalho que o David está a desenvolver no escutismo, um programa que ele parece apreciar bastante. O David gosta muito de acampar e da natureza, e demonstra um grande desejo de ajudar ao proximo, o que constitui um dos valores centrais do programa do escutismo. Estamos gratos por um programa que tanto faz para desenvolver os rapazes, assim como pelos seus líderes que são incansáveis no seu apoio aos jovens.

The Easter Message

Very little can be said that will add to the majesty of the atonement of Christ. The following testimony recounts the final and darkest moments in His mortal life, as well as the most glorious event in the history of mankind- His resurrection. This is well worth watching and pondering regardless of one's faith.

Pouco ou nada poderá ser dito que adicione algo à majestade da Expiação de Jesus Cristo. O testemunho aqui incluído, relata os escuros momentos finais da sua vida terrena, assim como o mais glorioso evento na história da humanidade; a sua ressurreição. Vale bem a pena ver e ponderar seja qual for a nossa fé.
