Anderson's Holler Holler

Hey guys! So we did OK with our goals,we had a nice start but being at mom and dad's this weekend we didn't keep the TV and going to bed at 11 goals.... and we didn't get to read as much as we needed to stay on track with the BOM challenge, but it was a really fun weekend and it was so great to see everyone! Amy we missed you and your family :( but Alexis beat Morgan and I in the singing game, just for you (but I think we let her because it was her B-day...right Morgan? lol) We went to Williamsburg's stake conference on Sunday and though it was very loud with children lol, I was able to pull away a few important things that really stuck out in my mind! One speaker spoke on keeping the sabbath day holy, and though we always make sure to uphold the "don'ts" (don't work, don't spend money, don't play sports....), do we make sure to do the "do's"? (Extra studying and pondering of the scriptures, writing missionaries or family letters, visiting the elderly or those who are in need..ect) it really was a slap in my face because by doing nothing productive and uplifting on Sunday means I'm not keeping the sabbath day holy...it was something that really made me think! The Stake pres also said something that stuck out to Cody and I about not letting our physical body control our spirit. By nature our physical body is lazy...so we need our spirit to control our body and not the other way around.... Anyway, I just wanted to share those thoughts with you! We are going to try our goals again, TV off by 10 and in bed by 11pm, and catch up on the BOM challenge!!!!!! We can do this don't give up no matter how far behind or not you are! :) Reading the scriptures gives us power! The power we need to be obedient followers of Christ! have a great week! I love you all tons!! Holler! :)
