Hope Magnet

Just a fun happy for the ladies I visit teach. December's message I focused on Hope and the the comments by Sister Julie B. Beck (RS Gen Pres). I prepared the following handout.

As Members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, we have 3 great HOPEs

1. Hope in the Atonement of Jesus Christ
2. Hope in the Resurrection
3. Hope of Eternal Life

Proverbs 13:12 “Hope deferred maketh the heart sick: but when the desire cometh, it is a tree of life.”

Romans 15: 13 “Now the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, that ye may abound in hope, through the power of the Holy Ghost.”

I then made a little magnet ( about 3 1/2 " tall) with the 3 things we hope for written out. I used one of the little wooden letters with the magnets embedded in the back. I traced the letter 'H' and cut out some scrapbook paper and then put a decorative brad in the upper corner. I glued the paper to the letter and then went around the edges with one of my small ink pads. Then I wrote the three things with a fine tip marker.

A Sorensen Morning

Yeh! I was the First person to use our SWEET snowblower.

It only took me about 20 minutes of pulling on the crank to realize there was a plug for the POWER start option. So after running a cord and getting it running- I practiced on my driveway and then was having so much FUN I proceeded to plow both of our neighbors driveways.

OKAY, THIS NEEDS AN EXPLANATION

Yeah, so we finally got our first real snow of the season, and the only car we have running is the Jeep, soooo being a TRUE Sorensen, and having that particular trait that drives us to act NOW and not wait (I think they call it impatience?) I decided to roll the car out of the garage and into the drive way so I could park in the garage and out of the now. Things were going great when all of a sudden the steering wheel locked up and I couldn't turn the wheel so the car would coast right into the spot I had prepared for it. Luckily the trashcan, bushes, and fence allowed it to come to a gentle stop. So then I decided to try to jump it - that was a NO GO! So I backed up the car a bit more so I could pull the Jeep into the garage and use the tow strap to maneuver the car.

Making Progress - you can see where the car WAS


I just had to document this and share it with the Sorensens!

Yeah, I did this all by myself.

I have TOTAL SKILLS!!

It's working perfectly.

Using those MIRRORS

It need to go forward a bit more -

Note the wheel position, yeah - I'm straightening it out;)!

With the proper training anything is possible

THANKS DAD!

This was the closest I came to the house.

So I pulled it forward - then pushed it back (inching my way closer to success).

FINALLY! What a Workout! And by the way - I did this all in my pajamas :) What a crazy girl!
Just to clarify where my men were - we are actually down to one car so I have been a taxi driver in my spare time (like I have any) so I had just dropped everyone off - Tom at work, Charlie at school, Meagan at school, and Trey lives on campus. I just was too impatient to wait for them to get home that night because I wasn't sure just how much snow would be packed in my driveway.
