Sunday School

Trevor and I got called to be ward missionaries. So far it's been great - a lot of work though.

This week was my first week teaching the Gospel Essentials class. I was beyond nervous, but Trevor helped me think through things and was really supportive.

The topic was "The Creation". I found a talk by Elder Nelson that had a piece in it that really touched me:

"While visiting the British Museum in London one day, I read a most unusual book. It is not scripture. It is an English translation of an ancient Egyptian manuscript. From it, I quote a dialogue between the Father and the Son. Referring to His Father, Jehovah—the premortal Lord—says:

“He took the clay from the hand of the angel, and made Adam according to Our image and likeness, and He left him lying for forty days and forty nights without putting breath into him. And He heaved sighs over him daily, saying, ‘If I put breath into this [man], he must suffer many pains.’ And I said unto My Father, ‘Put breath into him; I will be an advocate for him.’ And My Father said unto Me, ‘If I put breath into him, My beloved Son, Thou wilt be obliged to go down into the world, and to suffer many pains for him before Thou shalt have redeemed him, and made him to come back to his primal state.’ And I said unto My Father, ‘Put breath into him; I will be his advocate, and I will go down into the world, and will fulfil Thy command.’”

I love everything about this. I love how it shows Heavenly Father as such a loving Father. Ah. My new favorite quote. I could go on and on.

Happy Sunday from the Schauerhamers!!!

Sunday Stroll

We had stake conference and it ended at 12, and it was a BEAUTIFUL DAY. Starting to feel more like fall. Not too hot, but very sunny.

So we decided after church to go on a Sunday stroll in the mountains. Last year I took Lacey up to Donut Falls in Big Cottonwood Canyon, and it's beautiful and an easy hike so we decided to go there.

It's about 9 miles up the canyon - which made for a long and beautiful drive with the windows down (we were stuck behind the SLOWEST car, so it was a really long drive for only 9 miles).

We parked and had a snack, then walked up to the falls. We played around on the rocks and both got our shoes soaking wet, but it's fun to let your inner child out sometimes.

I can't help but kiss this guy!

I feel so blessed to live in such a beautiful place. Where hikes like this are so close and accessible. 

It was the perfect way to spend a Sunday afternoon, walking hand in hand through the mountains, next to a stream. It smelled SO GOOD it's unbelievable. One of my favorite things about being in the mountains - how good it smells.

Temple Square - Stake Conference

Stake Conference was held at the Assembly Hall, so afterwards we walked around temple square and then went to the roof of the Conference Center.

Sunday was sunny and beautiful!

I love how pleased with himself he looks here as he takes this picture. I can see what he's thinking: "Yeeeeeaaaah I'm getting kissed by a sexy laaddaay!! SCORE!!!"
