Family

One of my dear cousins, got me on the Celebration of the Proclamation to the World. She participated by making a handout and I got on board. I am so glad that she did, because now the Bug Hero and I are working on our own Family Motto and Statement.

For Family Night, we talked about our Family name, and who is in our family. The Friendly Hero thought that all his friends who live next door were part of his family, and when we told him no, he moved on to his other favorite friends. (These live a whole 100 yards away.) Talking about who was in his family was a very important step. We did come up with a cheer that night, which the Friendly Hero loves to yell out: "We are the Oozes!* And We are AWESOME!"

Anyways, I would like to invite all to participate or read some of their posts by clicking on my button that is now on my blog. Also I came across a guest post on one of them, and I'm now taking up her challenge to read the scriptures to find the women in it. This also was amazing. The Bug Hero is helping me learn Japanese, and I learned yesterday how to say, "I am a daughter of God." "Ten no Otoosama no musume des." These little things are all adding up and I'm excited to study the scriptures and deepen my understanding of what it means to be a "Ten no Otosama no musume des." It's going to be a crazy, awesome experience.**



*This is the pronunciation he uses on our last name. It's pretty awesome.

**She challenges people to do it in a year--the four standard works, I'm going to try, but I'm going to study, so if it takes me longer, I'm not going to stress. I probably will have lots to say about little known women in the scriptures. She says there's a total of 588 different women in the scriptures. I'm excited to see if I get that number.
