Quin's blessing day


Quin was blessed Sunday and then Jessica bore her testimony. She said what a spiritual experience giving birth was and how it dawned on her that Quin has chosen to come to earth--that he wanted the experience and that inside that "little life form" there was a large spirit son of God! She also said giving birth made her appreciate the atonement more, how the Savior made it possible to repent and return to Heavenly Father. She expressed appreciation for being in a family. 
 
Jessica came into singing time in Primary and showed Quin to the kids and told them how she sang "I Will Follow God's Plan" when he first came (and also when he was in her tummy) and how he put his head back and looked her in the eyes while she sang. Michael blessed Quin that he would be happy in this life and also in the next. Now see how those thoughts are expressed in the song we are learning in Primary:
My life is a gift, my life has a plan.
My life has a purpose, in heaven it began.
My choice was to come to this lovely home on earth
And seek for God's light to direct me from birth.
I will follow God's plan for me
Holding fast to the his word and his love.
I will work and I will pray.
I will always walk in his way.
Then I will be happy on earth and in my home above.

Awesome experience! And a cute little boy.
Also read your post on the missionaries from your family. Such thoughtful and mature comments from them all.

It was such a wonderful day! It was amazing to have Michael bless my little boy through the power of the priesthood.
