Today we attended Stake Conference and oh - the spirit was mighty and so refreshing to this soul of mine.

Even amidst getting barfed on numerous times (we're talking spit up here - just seems like it comes out in barf like quantities), telling Lou to stop making Little C giggle (boys totally giggle), handing Ruckus a tampon instead of a color crayon, getting Moo to stop tickling his brothers, saying shhhh and hearing the question how much longer? more than 57 times -

I still felt so engulfed in the love of our Savior. 

That is why I K.N.O.W. the gospel is true -

because I feel it in my heart -

it brings me ultimate joy and happiness -

provides my mind with overwhelming clarity -

hands me confidence -

makes me still feel like I'm good enough and there's hope, even when I occasionally suck as a person -

and calms this gal who often lives in chaos.

I am so, so, thankful for the knowledge that I have -

for these strong, good men who lead us in the gospel -

who truly follow the direction of Jesus Christ. 

It is a gift.

And brings me extreme peace.
