jeff & jam fam

Today was Jeff's first time at conducting Sacrament Meeting. He did a great job! He was very nervous, but it all turned out fine. He was reading the names of people who have recently moved into our ward. He said, "Those who are present please stand...and I suppose if you're not present you may remain seated." Everyone laughed. During his testimony he shared a story about when he backed over a new Hyundai car in a school bus (the car was driven by a newly licensed 16 year old gal who pulled her car extremely close to the tail end of the bus--it was so close it couldn't be seen in the rearview mirror). His boss said to him in his very expensive training meeting, "Gee Jeff, life is hard, but it's a lot worse when you do stupid things." In the course of Jeff's testimony he explained that Christ atoned for all of our sins and he atoned for the little empty spots and times when we do stupid things. We are commanded to "Be Happy." Guess what, when we turn over our sad feelings and stupid deeds to Christ, He will help us to "Be Happy" and He will make things right!! I felt the Spirit strongly testify of the truth of Jeff's words.

I am daily and forever thankful that the Lord lead me to Jeff and/or lead Jeff to me, and that of all the people in the world Jeff decided to share eternity with ME!!!
