"If you are still in the process of raisingchildren, be aware that thetiny fingerprintsthat show up on almost every newly cleaned surface, thetoys scattered about the house, the piles and piles of laundryto be tackled will disappearall too soonand that you will - to your surprise -miss them profoundly." ~President Thomas S. Monson
On Easter Sunday, my Grandpa Baird gathered together his posterity "like King Benjamin of Old" to testify. After a year of health issues and under special circumstances, Grandpa felt very inspired to read The Book of Mormon once again before he would die and to gather his posterity to read the final chapter together and to share his testimony of its truthfulness. I was inspired once again by the goodness of this great man and of his sweet wife. I marvel at their service and strength. I am edified and enriched by their testimonies! This evening was one of power and one of special significance. I am so grateful to have been there and to be born of "goodly parents"... who were born of goodly parents. I, too, know The Book of Mormon is true! There is power there. It testifies of Christ and leads us to Him!Thank you Grandpa.
