We are so proud of you, Nikki! You have grown so much over the past 20 months, physically and spiritually. You definitively know who the Savior is, and that he loves you. We love how excited you are to learn about Jesus. You LOVE primary right now. You get excited about paying your tithing, participating in the Sacrament, and you try your very best to do what is right. Our family would not be the same without you, Maria Daniela.

You with mommy’s sisters, Tia Jaimee and Tia Lindsey:

Hiking/Camping Safety, by the J. DeMarco Family

Our annual Memorial Zionfest is quickly approaching so we were presented with a lesson this week on safety procedures for the kiddos. We also received Child Safety Kits to have on hand in the unlikely (or very likely) case of a missing/lost child while we are there. Loved our group FHE this month. Thanks DeMarco Family!

Nightly Funnies:
Jena to Dave, “everyone knows you’re picky…that’s what got us put in charge of the camping potluck!”

Jaime Lynne, “Alright, we’ll be in charge of the t-shirts, but you have 48 hours to respond people and that’s it. ”

Juan……..well pretty much everything he said tonight was funny! :)

President Monson, by Nikki
Since we just had Spring General Conference, Nikki decided to present a bio about President Monson. We cut up strips of paper with fun facts about the prophet written on them. Nikki let each family member come up and choose a fact to present. She also presented a picture of the prophet.

Song:
Follow the Prophet

Scripture:
3 Nephi 10:12
And it was the more righteous part of the people who were saved, and it was they who received the prophets…

Treat:
Strawberry Shortcake…..YUMMY

Nightly Funny:
Dad, “How long did President Monson serve in the U.S. Navy?”
Daniel, “Umm, 400 years. Oh wait, I mean four!”
