London/Paris

Hi Everyone!

I am sorry it has taken me so long to post....but here are a few of the pictures as promised from ages ago. I took over...well, so many many pictures that I couldn't decide what to post...so I became lazy in doing it. 

Eiffel Tower - this was so, so beautiful at night.

Jewel Tower=no jewels 

Big Ben is not the clock! You can see the London Eye in the back

My daughter being funny!

Yum-a-licious yogurt! Maybe this is weird but we bought more and kept the containers. (Which I now have rice in and keep my make-up brushes standing in them)

This was the first car I had ever seen that was Bedazzled! 

And an Ombre car!

There is a story behind this...***

We bought a lock and locked in on the bridge, however, now the Mayor is getting rid of all the lock bridges. At least I can say we did it!

Seeing the Mona Lisa was crazy! (The line up was huge and unorganized with people pushing and taking a thousand selfies....)

***The story behind the Father Son Picture....

It was Easter weekend when we went to La Louvre. We had gone to Notre Dame Cathedral that morning.(It was free admission, I'm not sure if it always is..) I was sad to see the Sabbath not observed with the buying and selling of candles, pictures, & pressed coins inside the church. It reminded me of when the Savior was frustrated with merchants at the Temple. We did have our passes for the Louvre, so we too were not perfect on that day. The building was indeed beautiful, quite remarkable. We sat down and gratefully prayed to Heavenly Father for the gift of His Son. I did not feel the Holy Ghost in that building. I am sorry to say. We toured around and then made our way to La Louvre. 

It was soon much larger inside that I figured. The line up was long... Inside we saw so many many beautiful sculptures, pictures - wow! My husband gave me the sign that we had to go and I very quickly made my way through the sculptures. I was walking really fast, actually, but felt the Spirit prompt me to turn around and look at this one in particular, which I immediately did. Tears welled up in my eyes and I felt such a strong witness of the Holy Ghost. (Which job it is to witness of truth )

I have to admit I was a little clueless as to why I felt so moved. My husband was wondering what was up that's for sure. It wasn't until later when I prayerfully considered what this message was that I realized (as I'm sure all my friends out there have already figured out) that Heavenly Father was testifying through His Spirit that He did indeed give His Son. I felt a small portion of how much He loves Jesus Christ (and all of us). It was such a personal wonderful moment to share in that, that I just had to share it with all of you. How often do we truly wonder of the deep and tender love of our Father in Heaven? Just look at how tenderly he is holding his child, the loving look into his son's eyes? 

He spoke to me in a way I would understand. 

My hope is that you are trying hard to be happy in your Journey
