We were sitting in the Living Room about to start FHE tonight, when we heard a child's cry. This is not an uncommon occurance in our home, but everyone was in the room with us. Zack even did a quick head count to make sure. So, we dismissed it, but then heard it again. Alex went to the door to find the Jorgensen's all coming to our door with cookies, a card, and a super sweet song for us. I was so impressed that Faith gathered her sisters and brother and lead them ALL the way through Families Can Be Together Forever. Of course, we love this family so much and all were so touched and excited to see them. It was a wonderful surprise.
So, later, I asked Alex to bear his testimony at the end of our FHE. He was a little, or a lot, uncomfortable, but he said that he thought the Jorgensen kids had it right. Family can be together for ever through Heavenly Fathers plan. And he always wants to be with his family. Well, I lost it. I have been pretty much a rock up to this point. I am thankful that he has a testimony and was willing to share even a little portion of that with us. Thanks, Alex.
Lily has been all over Alex for the last week. Randomly hugging him and telling him that she will miss him and that she loves him. I have several pics of them like this, and I LOVE everyone. Super-Sweet.
Incidentally, I think we are going to make that a weekly event in our home. One person called on to bear their testimony. Good for us all to do and hear.
Thanks for the inspiration, Jorgensen's........and the great cookies!!

That sounds like it was a lovely FHE. It's so sweet to have harmony and love in the home. I love the picture of Alex and Lilly. Alex is a wonderful big brother. He sets a great example. You have done a fabulous job raising him.
I miss the Jorgensens! Tell them "hi" from us! (BTW, I had no idea they had 4 kids now! Faith had just been born when when we lived there!)
Lindsay, # 5 will be here soon. Her blogspot is bretandwendyplusfive.blogspot.com
Hope she does not mind me giving it out.
That is so sweet that Lily is so into Alex. She and Alex are the same age apart and me and my older brother. I remember thinking he was the coolest, most fun..still do. Even if he did use to pick me up by my head. :-)
