some thoughts...

Lately I feel like I've had so much going on. We've had the missionaries over at least twice a week, I've had to help my dad with restaurant stuff and in between I've had to take care of the baby and taking care of house stuff and bills.

Overall, the experiences and lessons with the missionaries have all been positive, I love that we're going to church and that Dana and my relationship is so much better. I always said that if we got into it that I wouldn't have a problem with going to church, but now I'm having a tough time with transitioning from my church that I grew up in and the LDS church. I guess a lot that they have taught me has really been a refresher, I love that many of the teachings are what I already know. So the missionaries asked me if I would be willing to be baptized this next weekend, I had said yes because I felt a little pressured, but I thought about it and prayed about it and I don't think I am ready solely because I still believe in my own church and it's hard for me to let go of that & believe in a new religion that was founded by Joseph Smith. But at the same time I really want my family to work and we all know it doesn't work if we go to two different churches, and I'm totally willing to do anything for our little family....
Anyway just pray that I make the decision in due time!

For now here are some pictures of Kailani of course, she totally smiles all the time now and her personality is really coming out!

All I can say is pray about it. When you know you are ready, you'll know. It took me a long time to make the decision to be baptized but I have to say it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I know the church is true and I know it will be a huge blessing in yours and your families life. Just pray about it and read your scriptures. Don't let anyone pressure you. Kailani has gotten so big. *tear* I want to see her again!
