Elder Forsyth shares many awesome stories in his letters home, but this was one we didn't hear about, so I thought I'd post it here. I believe it was written in a report by one of the AP's:<br /><br />"Last night Elder Vang and Elder Forsyth were planning to find out where to tract a couple of hours the next day. In response to Zone Conference training, they prayed and picked out 5 streets or so a piece, comparing their choices and discerning through the spirit where they should go. Elder Birkel, an assistant to the president was with them, helping them find in the area: We had the distinct impression to tract at a street called Margaret the next day. The area proved to be too broad, so we prayed to focus on a smaller area and knocked on the first door that we knew was Hmong, explaining who we were, and that we were there to teach the gospel. The woman who answered responded, 'I'm a Christian. My ex-husband's friend was a Mormon and taught him about a boy ordained to be a prophet. You want to come inside? There were three of us, so we went inside, prayed and taught her the plan of salvation. 'Do you know where we came from before this life?' We asked her. 'Yes, I know we were with God through the scriptures --- 'before I formed thee in the belly; I knew thee,'' she responded quoting several scriptures. Hmong people are not familiar with this concept; we were surprised and excited. She also mentioned that Friday, Saturday and Sunday nights she usually goes to a bible study class, but she felt she needed to stay home that night. We responded that we, too, had been praying about where to contact and felt directed to her home."<br /><br />"'Yes,' she said, 'I think God made this appointment for us!' She had a question about where those go who do not know about Christ; she had been taught by her pastor that you could only accept the gospel here on the earth. We explained how our Heavenly Father had a prepared a way for all to hear the gospel of Jesus Christ, even after this life, and referred her to 1 Peter 3:18-20. She responded, 'I have read this scripture over and over and you have answered my question!' She set an appointment for next week to teach her, after identifying the spirit during our meeting by herself!! She's amazing and the Lord blesses us as we follow the counsel of our leaders!!"Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068521705610021136.post-84085577249211100802010-07-30T23:32:00.001-07:002010-07-30T23:58:27.274-07:00Brandon is going on a mission<div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">Elder Brandon Forsyth has been called to labor in the</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#000000;"><span style="font-size:180%;color:#cc0000;">Singapore Mission speaking Mandarin Chinese</span>.</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong><span style="color:#000000;">He reports to the MTC in Provo on October 13, 2010.</span></strong></div><div align="center"><strong>We are all very excited... especially Brandon.</strong></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiKIVHxyGvfCzKp264I6aXyg3rIEvoURjPrjsIFVtRNk7w3l7FsIlAGLW85L8fH_mcS2TTPwvFEKhVEI5K75RflfPW7Wm-pfWUpSOrjXQCz5-NqHhRJvbxT-b3fJsk2M3ZjxbXxkICuzW8/s1600/P7110360.JPG"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center;

In December, Emily & Dallen starred as Jo and Laurie in "A Little Women Christmas" along with the girls from Emily's book club. Tina wrote the script and directed the show. We performed for our family and friends and also at the "Beehive Homes", a senior retirement community, as a service project. It was a lot of fun and Beehive residents really enjoyed it.<br /><br />Here is Dallen in his role of Sammy in <strong><span style="font-family:lucida grande;font-size:130%;color:#990000;">"Revolt of Mother".</span></strong> He performed in March at the St. George Opera House. The show ran for two weeks. Dallen had been extremely ill in the weeks up to the performance, but got better just in time.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpb8WqIXUzr2npYc6Wk0jMU6Zznh5InHsBBCUVDhx87xyhQzRegWsqZioN5-CGUlKMSI-d_-AWo4GsmsBZekL5bK451ZLOqHlbZ4csYar-8C1KCYfQybu9uzIO7sgwqsvCFRXKET5mkQ/s1600/Musical+1.jpg"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 98px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 130px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485080586243987954" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgxpb8WqIXUzr2npYc6Wk0jMU6Zznh5InHsBBCUVDhx87xyhQzRegWsqZioN5-CGUlKMSI-d_-AWo4GsmsBZekL5bK451ZLOqHlbZ4csYar-8C1KCYfQybu9uzIO7sgwqsvCFRXKET5mkQ/s400/Musical+1.jpg" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP_Alr-Nw55qN3zxs8bG3Hdrm9oc9FiUVoaRv9NFxd0jP-tLDqgCJ7Hji_bLnM79-Gi8suY80tH1-RBzrepc0_qKptB231D348ZQMswKZ_S4DjkDQchN6VcHW1INdyeNFhmip-vjrXZ3M/s1600/Musical+2.bmp"><img style="TEXT-ALIGN: center; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 130px; DISPLAY: block; HEIGHT: 98px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5485080139941027618" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjP_Alr-Nw55qN3zxs8bG3Hdrm9oc9FiUVoaRv9NFxd0jP-tLDqgCJ7Hji_bLnM79-Gi8suY80tH1-RBzrepc0_qKptB231D348ZQMswKZ_S4DjkDQchN6VcHW1INdyeNFhmip-vjrXZ3M/s400/Musical+2.bmp" /></a>This is Aubrey and Noah performing in <strong><span style="font-size:130%;color:#990000;">"Under the Broadway Lights",</span></strong> an original musical revue written and directed by Tina.

The cast was made up of my Shakespeare students with the addition of their younger siblings as fairies and mischievous wood elves (the boys didn't like being called fairies... and who can blame them?) I can't adequately express how amazed I am at the talents of such young people, except to say that they are all such incredible scholars, dedicated to knowledge, learning, truth, and developing their minds and talents. They are all homeschooled children (ages 12 - 15) who meet together once a week (and have parties every other day, it seems) for scholar projects. Shakespeare is only one of the projects... and I can say that my cast (students) was so well versed in their Shakespeare because of spending so much time in the Fall reading, listening to, and watching Shakespeare. Half of my students experienced at least 17 of Shakespeare's works during a 3 month period, which is amazing. All of my students experienced at least 7 of his works, and a few did upwards of 30! Anyway - here's some pics taken at a dress rehearsal. Unfortunately, the flash kills the lighting, but allows us to see the actors more clearly. The pictures don't do the staging justice.

I can't express what a joy it was to witness my child make such sacred covenants with his Heavenly Father. To try to put it into words would somehow diminish the experience, but those of you who have had the great blessing of seeing your children walk in such faith and righteousness in such a sacred place know what I mean.<br /><br />Adam is as well-prepared for his mission as he could possibly be. He is a true student of the gospel and a devoted disciple of Jesus Christ. He has not only read through the Book of Mormon with our family a few times, but he has personally read it 8 or 9 times, in addition to the New Testament, most of the Old Testament, and the Doctrine and Covenants (several times). He has been earnestly studying "Preach My Gospel" and is starting to read "Jesus the Christ". He's read most of the works by Skousen that relate to religious and world history, and loves to read and watch past Conference addresses by the prophet and apostles.

We definitely want to go through the Manti, Salt Lake, Draper, Bountiful, Mt. Timpanogos, and Jordan River temples. He'll be able to attend the Provo temple often while he's in the Missionary Training Center.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068521705610021136.post-16197286853904906642009-04-05T19:53:00.000-07:002009-04-05T19:59:58.438-07:00Happiness is reading together<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXdG8cUiYJ-z2mrDG1r8vd1igQ6HXW_eazopCuySv-vyYC4z2vANL-PjE9SE7oeBfcsDLK4bOIyXvEhWfsz_Ct9BBNWkLsIL5-x4t7BIuYiV1g-_GlhFchpJPDxUsK1ZiXcaUlwtqOOXQ/s1600-h/Early+Spring+2009+031.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5321407184389390466" style="WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 300px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgXdG8cUiYJ-z2mrDG1r8vd1igQ6HXW_eazopCuySv-vyYC4z2vANL-PjE9SE7oeBfcsDLK4bOIyXvEhWfsz_Ct9BBNWkLsIL5-x4t7BIuYiV1g-_GlhFchpJPDxUsK1ZiXcaUlwtqOOXQ/s400/Early+Spring+2009+031.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Ah HAH~ Caught you both being good.

They were all planted at the same time, but the broccoli in the pots are far outgrowing the ones in the bed. They are even bigger now and growing their broccoli heads. This is our early season crop planting bed. It is 8' x 4' and is 12 inches deep.<br /><br />What we've been doing in the garden...<br /><br />We have plans to put in at least 5 more raised beds to accomodate all of the plants we have started in the greenhouse. We have about 7 varieties of heirloom tomatoes (including purple and yellow tomatoes), as well as "Stars and Moons" watermelon (has really cool yellow splotches on the green rind that look like stars and moons). I'm also growing quinoa this year. You can add the leaves to a salad or meatloaf or whatnot for Vitamin C, or allow the seed heads to dry, and it becomes a grain that you can eat like oatmeal. SO EXCITED! I'm SO weird, I know. We've planted multi-colored carrots, 2 kinds of peas, spinach, radishes, 3 kinds of onion, various types of lettuce, and a lot of broccoli. These are all in our early season box, which I'm including pictures of. In our greenhouse, waiting for the other garden boxes to be built, we have MANY varieties of tomatoes, cucumbers, canteloupe, zucchini, crookneck, and of course... PUMPKIN! We've grown several dozen varieties of flowers from seed, as well.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />We have put in grapes, black raspberries (from Grandma Fortune in CA), and blueberries (something new), and have started a new herb garden (echinacea, sage, basil, peppermint, so far). In addition, we have several semi-dwarf fruit trees in pots, and plan to add a few new ones. I still need to get my compost bin built and functioning. Adam now works for Wal-Mart in the gardening section, and he brought me home 8 tomato plants that they were going to throw out as they have a tiny bit of frostbite. These are their really expensive tomatoes, so I was giddy! No dozen roses for me... you can bring me vegetable plants ANY DAY! Okay - enough talk. These are pictures I took almost 2 weeks ago, so the garden is even bigger and better now, but its dark outside, so I'll post more pics later.Unknownnoreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1068521705610021136.post-12589123737021117672009-03-11T23:50:00.001-07:002009-03-12T23:56:33.519-07:00Adam's Mission Call<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiXYD8OI0y1BFi5Y-XH-Ke0A7ULk7h1e_m81jKp1Gj8AdxwnxDAXISlP_HdU3mk4jZ9kT7QM6FlgIdpjhqhPx24vmAkFKuNqHwXfx_ecDN908a0eZJS1ky0eObxS_JTEvUVIaHhRGE6Ec/s1600-h/Adam+mission+call+1.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312561058295218738" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjiXYD8OI0y1BFi5Y-XH-Ke0A7ULk7h1e_m81jKp1Gj8AdxwnxDAXISlP_HdU3mk4jZ9kT7QM6FlgIdpjhqhPx24vmAkFKuNqHwXfx_ecDN908a0eZJS1ky0eObxS_JTEvUVIaHhRGE6Ec/s320/Adam+mission+call+1.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Adam has been called to preach the gospel in the <br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Minneapolis, Minnesota mission,</span><br /><span style="font-size:180%;">Hmong speaking.<br /><br /></span><span style="font-size:180%;"></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgd3Zsiu7BawqXz2rLALa-2ylA4u7H9DLDBzdytrjX4HMRepmoPFpme7CM1LGORo07YC7Z81yLTHkKP42EfIdRAR1ptoZU7XCHUjPHckmQU7Gw_b7e2xJuZPoRZAOyJKRxBnAd3QytVbg/s1600-h/Ada,+012.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312197603687196914" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgd3Zsiu7BawqXz2rLALa-2ylA4u7H9DLDBzdytrjX4HMRepmoPFpme7CM1LGORo07YC7Z81yLTHkKP42EfIdRAR1ptoZU7XCHUjPHckmQU7Gw_b7e2xJuZPoRZAOyJKRxBnAd3QytVbg/s320/Ada,+012.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Adam was thrilled to be called to teach the Hmong people.

We had about 125 people there (or more) and it was a TON of fun. Each family provided an activity/booth for everyone to enjoy. We had blind dagger fights, archery, pastry shops, jousting, face painting, people put into stocks for drinking soda (LOL), etc. and my students did 4 Shakespeare scenes. Here are three of my students portraying the three witches in Macbeth.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA0NxSRr4ghzjpCtfv98cDGG9A0eP_NlK6mu7qFyh1_f_NmL-sB4llL5V4OpqsdwIpO1N58Wc43JSF2jJ6kEoMknBTAxBaBtqPWDnvVIgnVH-PtLsRG3aMZX3EP6bsFm645cuaXYVedvE/s1600-h/February+March+2009+156.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312183313957290354" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiA0NxSRr4ghzjpCtfv98cDGG9A0eP_NlK6mu7qFyh1_f_NmL-sB4llL5V4OpqsdwIpO1N58Wc43JSF2jJ6kEoMknBTAxBaBtqPWDnvVIgnVH-PtLsRG3aMZX3EP6bsFm645cuaXYVedvE/s320/February+March+2009+156.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Aubrey in "A Midsummer Night's Dream".

Each kid chose an important principle or doctrine of Christ's church (scriptures, baptism, prophets, missionary work, etc) and we built our tower like the organized church. When the apostasy came, the church fell (and so did all the kids with lots of giggles), then each went and sat down in their own place to show how each religion that came along chose which principles of the true church they would adhere to. No one religion had ALL the truth. Then we built the tower back up and learned about the Restoration. Brandon's friend (in yellow) came over that night for FHE and he said our Family Home Evenings were a blast compared to his. (You can see little Nathan in the background, looking like he'd love to climb to the top of that mountain!) He's a climber<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Px-UiKW-cqnKhnEkW_lcBUO9pZPngLLB53r5bb9p5dlOJYwT3RNUskJnoBTglznF9OThPUikzKacmczX6fBDuuNMtgLB9x0qCqLFSMBzzNtz-3JDi9yJcby6fzBiBWu_1SyrJdC7iAI/s1600-h/California+trip+009.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5312175200117588706" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_Px-UiKW-cqnKhnEkW_lcBUO9pZPngLLB53r5bb9p5dlOJYwT3RNUskJnoBTglznF9OThPUikzKacmczX6fBDuuNMtgLB9x0qCqLFSMBzzNtz-3JDi9yJcby6fzBiBWu_1SyrJdC7iAI/s320/California+trip+009.JPG" border="0" /></a><br />I had to add this picture of Steve, because I have hundreds just like this, and this is to teach him a lesson about making so many faces when I try to take his picture.
