Talks and the cemetary

Once more I am posting in the morning instead of at night.  We had another busy/late night last night.  But at least I am making a record right?

Yesterday Aurora gave a talk in Primary.  Primary is the children's class in our church.  Her talk was on the Word of Wisdom.  The Word of Wisdom, is a commandment that we find in our scriptures in the Doctrine and Covenants.  Joseph Smith received revaluation giving what was at that time a guideline not a commandment.  A later prophet was given the revelation that it be a commandment  and so now we follow it as such.

The Word of Wisdom, gives us council on what kinds of things to put into our body.  It tells us to abstain from coffee, tea, tobacco, and drugs.  It also tells us to eat healthy food, like fruits and vegetables, grains, and to eat meat sparingly.  For more information on it you can look here.


Anyhow Aurora gave a talk on the Word of Wisdom, and talked about how we should eat fruits and vegetables.  She had toy produce that she held up as a visual aid for each food item that she talked about.



Later in the day we went to the cemetery where my Grandfather is buried.  He passed away 11 years ago yesterday.  When it is Memorial Day weekend, we like to take the opportunity to visit his grave and think about him.
