Our Work

You are doing God’s work. You are doing it wonderfully well. He is blessing you and He will bless you, even—no, especially—when your days and your nights may be the most challenging.
(Elder Holland, 1997, "Because She is A Mother")

I am so grateful today for the mothers I have the opportunity to know. The neighbor mothers that watch out for my kids, the wives of my home teachers who love my boys, our incredible Primary President that is truly happy to see my kids every time, my amazing sister who can do anything with little people everywhere, my visiting teacher mothers that make me laugh, my friend mothers that I can talk to and bounce ideas off of, the mothers I got to know when I married into Jared's family, and, of course, my own mother for the things that she taught me so I can be a mother myself
