Sundays are the Best!

So today is a great and glorious day even though Chris is at work. Brenden and I stayed home from Church today and we're watching Sunday movies. We watched one this morning that was really inspirational. It was a short movie, but very to the point and very good. It was set in the 1800's with a family, focusing on 2 children, a boy and a girl. The girl looks to be about 12, and the little boy is only about 3-years-old. The family is a hard working family and one afternoon they all get to take the afternoon off and go out picking gum root to make gum. Everyone in the family is so excited to go, especially this little 12-year-old girl. She's day dreaming of the fun they'll have and is rushing to get ready. Her Father then comes to tell her that she can't go and that she has to stay home with her little brother. She's so upset, she has this idea that she should take her little brother and meet the family there. They have to cross this gully they call the sink that has a a lake of ice cold water at the bottom. They have been told never to go there, but its a short cut. They're about halfway across when they realize their path is being blocked by a rock slide. The little girl decides they should go anyways and that her Father would be so excited to see them that he wouldn't be too mad. They start to cross carefully, but then the rocks start to slip from beneath their feet. They slide down with the rocks about to fall into the ice water, the little girl starts praying, saying that she will never ever disobey her father again if they can be saved; when all of a sudden they find themselves back on the path, on the side heading towards home. This little girl decided that they should go back home, and that she will never disobey her father again. Years later while this little girl is on a mission for the church her little brother gets deathly ill. He tells the Father about what had happened at the sink when they were little and how angels had saved them. When his fever had broken he couldn't remember any of it. The girl comes home from her mission and the Father tells her about it, and she doesn't even remember seeing angels. The Father says that the little boy was so innocent in everything and Heavenly Father wanted to save him and sent down angels to rescue both of them. That's pretty much where it ends but its a great little movie. If you're interested its only about 15 minutes long and it called, In the Arms of Angels.

I think later on this afternoon Brenden and I are going to watch The Living Scriptures and the story of Nephi. I'm really excited for Brenden to start watching these. While we were in Manti a few days ago at the pageant, they had this booth that was selling subscriptions to the living scriptures and it was for such a good price that we couldn't pass it up. So we started off our subscription with Nephi and The Prodigal Son. So we got those 2 movies and an activity book, The Book of Mormon on CD, some CD's of music from the DVD's, and the 10 commandment movies. I'm super excited, if you can't tell.

So Nephi, here we come!
