Bob with a Big Donut

This morning after Bob practiced with his partner we went to Macey's and he picked out this donut. It made me laugh. It is bigger than he is. lol

Lily McShinsky 7lbs 1 oz

Cute baby!

Lily McShinsky born at 6:31

Today started out great. Maddi delivered Lily. She was 7 lbs and 1 oz. We caught her frowning just like Ella. Grandpa is babysitting Ella right now as the new baby and mom take some time together. It was an amazing event!

Ice Skating in Murray

We had a really fun time ice skating. Richard's first time. Enjoy the video of him falling. Maddi, Joe, Ella, and almost born Lily went too. A good afternoon.

Elder McShinsky January second week

A story Mike wrote this week:

I was serving with Elder Kerby and teaching our awesome investigator Anton. He was having a bit of a problem feeling the Holy Ghost. During one of our lessons my companion and I had the feeling to kneel and pray. My companion in the middle of the lesson offers that we should all take turns saying a prayer kneeling in the middle of the room. Elder Kirby was first, then Anton, and then myself. As each of us prayed, the spirit became stronger and stronger. After we had all prayed, he looked up and asked us what the great and warm feeling that he was feeling was? Of course, we helped him to understand that it was the Holy Ghost. Interesting that it was after that moment that he really started to understand what he was reading and had a commitment to read even more.

With lots of love to one and all,
Love
Elder McShinsky

P.S. My visa trip this week is either to the Germany temple or Armenia. :)

Church Museum

Today Dad and Rich and Bob went to the Church Museum. Here they are standing next to angel Moroni. They listened to lots of presentations. Rich loved the boat replica. They played in the kids section. They also saw Joseph Smith in medal holding onto the rod. Christ was presenting the rod. The escalators were really fun they said. Hmmm.

Cleaning the Temple Crew

Tonight Phil and I went up and got to be on the temple cleaning crew. The new Draper temple is breath taking. We got to help clean the chapel next to the temple while the younger guys cleaned the temple. After we were done we got to walk around and look at the temple. It was more that beautiful. I guess this temple is one that you will have to make an appointment for in the future to go to it. It's a small temple, but it seems big to look at it. They have room with painted murals that are breathe taking. Brother Simons said that the one with a cougar in it represents BYU. I rolled my eyes. He is totally a BYU fan. Mom would love that. Everyone who can get a chance, should go on the tour before it is dedicated. Everything is perfect. It was such a great time. We were on the cleaning crew from 10 to 12 at night.
