Emma, my 11 going on 16 year old. You are sweet, responsible, kind, caring, thoughtful of everyone around you. You are always looking for ways to help. On Sunday (fast Sunday) none of us had eaten since the night before. Ben was at the church from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. He had to stay later than expected because of a last minute meeting. He called home to tell us to go ahead with dinner, not to wait for him. Emma knew it was no fun to eat dinner alone, and that Dad had been fasting the whole time too..so she waited to eat until Dad came home. I know she was really hungry, but was able to think of her dad's feelings before her own. Ben felt loved.
We've been catching glimpses of the woman she will become. She will be strong, obedient, and loving. She will accomplish much and help many people. Tonight for family night, we watched the new video clips "We Believe" put out by the church to introduce the Mutual theme for 2011. Emma will be joining the Young Women next month...she is very excited and ready. After we watched, Emma testified to us that she knew that the values and principles talked about in the DVD were true. She knows that she will be happy if she continues to make choices that will lead her to Jesus Christ. I love you Emma!
