Bazooka

I went to a call recently and noticed a freakin' bazooka! As you can imagine the family was retired military but this is a rare thing to see in someone's house. I asked the homeowner if he had any ammo for it and he laughed and said, "No." He explained it was not functional because there was some kind of broken ring inside. Still......kinda weird.

Amber has been explaining to me how stressed out she is because of our busy lives. On top of that we are in the process of making some potential big decisions. There has been a thought in the back of my mind that keeps popping up. We haven't told many people (especially family) because we don't want anyone to freak out for no reason. If I pray and receive an answer that it is not the right choice, then family will never know and that will be the end of that. The decision is to move to Utah, more specifically, the Provo area..ish.

Just think, would you rather see this..

 

 ....or this

That's not the reason we're (I'm) thinking about moving, but it's a bonus :)

We will explore the options and see if it makes sense to do it, then approach the Lord about it.

“While testimonies can come as dramatic manifestations, they usually do not. Sometimes people think they need to have an experience like Joseph Smith’s vision before they gain testimonies. If we have unrealistic expectations of how, when, or where answers come, we risk missing the answers which come as quiet, reassuring feelings and thoughts that most often come after our prayers, while we are doing something else. These answers can be equally convincing and powerful. “Over time we will receive answers and learn how inspiration comes. This is something each person learns for himself.”
