Cynthia & Garrett Family: Happy Birthday Sister Steph!

Happy Birthday Sister Steph!

My sister Steph lives far away.
She lives "down under" as they say.
Preaching the gospel - sharing The Light
Being an example of how to live right.

She's our missionary - Our Sister Z
The youngest Z from our family.
It's hard to imagine 22 years ago
She was a baby - just starting to grow!

Now she's all grown up and here's something to note
She's going to miss this big election year vote
But she's doing something more important by far
She the Zollinger Family's Little Sister Star!

We love her and pray for her every day.
We want her to know she's remembered today
If mom and dad had to end this great clan
They picked the perfect cabose in the land!

Quotable Quotes

Gabe's Sunbeam class combined with mine Sunday so I got to teach him how to pray. Monday, for Family Home Evening, he taught what he learned to his brothers. He told them that when you pray, you fold your arms, close your eyes, and "bend over." Then, he demonstrated by doing a bow that resembled the ones from The King and I....cute.
Our neighbor came over and was teaching Jonathan how to play basketball. "If you shoot from here, you get two points. If you shoot from here, you get three points. If you run with the ball, you're traveling." A little while later, I watched as Gabe and Jonathan walked around arm in arm, while the neighbor shot baskets. Jonathan explained, "He shoots the baskets, and we're the travelers."
I've been teaching the kids to follow last month's Friend article on studying the scriptures, so we start our scripture study with a prayer to help us "understand" the scriptures - which is a hard word for little boys. Today, Jonathan said, "Please help us 'stand' the scriptures!"
