My chiLdren...What wiLL they think of next. So Jaida has been taLking about a Lemonade stand and I toLd her in the summer she can, but right now it's too coLd. So after church whiLe I'm feeding Jack, which is when these girLs get their crazy ideas, I keep hearing the door opening and cLosing. So I say Jaida get inside. She says I can't and she runs outside with some paper. I finish Jack and go see what is going on and this is what I find. They're seLLing miLk for 10$! First of aLL I teLL her aLL your customers are in church and it's sunday. And I asked her why are you seLLing miLk? And she says "cuz we didn't have any Lemonade."

I'M PROUD TO BE A LATTER DAY SAINT
So with all this prop 8 and eLection stuff happening I've been online researching. There was an ad put out against our church about prop 8 (youtube home invasion). Anyway after youtubing it I was youtube surfing and seeing tons of these anti mormon videos that have been posted. Talking about and showing sacred things, but with a faLse twist to them. I was infuriated with what I was seeing and couldn't beLieve some of the comments peopLe had written about mormons. I know it's the Last Days and this has been taught to us that we wouLd endure percecution, but I didn't think it wouLd effect me this way. So I was on the computer and Jaida asked, "Mommy what are you doing?"
I said,"Oh, just peopLe are saying some bad things"
and she must have seen some pictures of the tempLe cuz she asked,"About church?"
And I Looked at her and said,"Yes."
Then she Looked puzzLed and distraught and asked,"Why?"
I didn't know how to expLain it to her cuz I can hardLy understand myseLf so I said,"I don't know they're just stupid and they don't know."
And in her childLike innocense she says,"That makes me sad. Church is good, and some peopLe don't go to church, but if you don't go to church you don't Learn, and that makes Jesus sad."
I didn't have to expLain anything. She expLained it to me. This is just the beginning. Our precious babes are the ones we have to teach and prepare for these Last Days. My testimony has onLy grown from seeing those videos and I feeL sad for them. We have to stay cLose to the iron rod and teach our chiLdren too.
