Update on sister minton

it is so weird to say that. sister minton!! i cant believe my little sister is a sister missionary!
She is the only one everyone would actually go on a mission. I am so proud of her tho!
she is she such a great job and is loving every minute of it...
this is her most resent letter:

Hello everyone!!

so this week has been kind of crazy. We did Sister exchanges for the first time and i had the opportunity to stay in Provo and teach with Sister Johnson who Came up from Payson. She was really cool and she helped me to build my confidence as a teacher. next week i get to go to Lindon and Teach With Sister Batrum. I hear she is really tough but I'm looking forward to the challenge. two of our Investigators are getting Baptized on Saturday and I'm really excited for them but sad that I wont get to teach them anymore. it was amazing watching them grow and come to love the gospel. Yesterday a retun missionary spoke in church about family home evening. he served on the Island of Tu (i think that is how it is spelt ^_^ ) he said he had the oppertunity to expiriance a FHE with one of the families there and i though that i would share with you how they did it. he said that the started with a prayer and then everyone shared their testimonies. Then they talked about everyone plans for the week and settled and disputes between family members. they then had a lesson and a closing prayer. another ting i thought was really interesting was that the Tu word for family if translated literally means Mother-Siblings-Complete. he said that they belive that the family unit was the most important group in their culture and that it is very rare for them to use the word for Complete on anything. i belive that the family is the most important group that anyone can be a part of. i challenge each of you to ponder how your family had blessed and shaped who you are. i know mine has made me the person that i am today and i wouldn't want anyone different then who heavenly father had blessed me with. i love you all and i am extremely grateful for everything that everyone has done for me. I pray for you every night and i hope you are doing the same for me. I miss you all and i love you!

Your Missionary,
Sister Hannah Minton

if you would like her address or email address let me know i will give it to you!!

i need advice about sealing....

I talk to my dad the other day and he told me that my step mom Athena has been unsealed to her ex-husband. So now my dad and step mom want to get sealed in the temple. i am not sure how i feel about this but mostly i dont think i really understand what will happen.
does this mean will be sealed to two moms , will i even be seal to her and her kids or is it just my dad and her that will be seal together? if i am sealed to her does that include her kids as while? and what does this mean for my mom? will she be seal to them as while?
why does the church do that? i dont understand! does anyone know any of the answers to these cuz my dad couldnt answer them....
i wouldnt mind being sealed to athena and her family but i dont understand....i love my step mom and new family but i thought they would only be my family here on earth and not forever and forever....
ok maybe i dont know how i feel about this.....i have to many mixed feeling and i think they come from not knowing how my mom feels about it....
if athena and her ex-husband got unsealed does that mean the kids arent sealed to them anymore?


wow all of this is really confusing....i need to go back to church or have the missionarys over and give the sealing and temple discussion again! lol!!

all of this is really making me miss my mom!  i really wish she was here to help me and give me advice. she always knew what to say and always made me feel better.  i know she is happier up in heaven with rhavyn and amanda and her mom and i know she is not in any pain which is the best feeling ever! i just really want her with me! i love my mommy!!

Our Sweet Little Family

Here is a little about us!!

Me and Richie got married on dec 23,2008! its a been a wonderful 2 years and cant wait to see what the rest of the years bring!!

we have 2 wonderful babies!!

Emma Nicole LaRue Moss, she is 2.she was born january 14,2009 she was 5lbs and 15oz and 21 inches long. she was smiling as soon as she came out!  she was such a amazing little girl. she is funny and full of life! she is definatly my little mini me! She will do anything to make you smile but she has such a attidue, yes she got it from me! Her favorite things are mickey mouse and trains!

Tevor(Tj) James Moss(who is 1) was born january 6,2010. yep, they are close!! Tj was 7lbs 8oz and 10inches long! Tj is the spitting image of his daddy! he is always happy and loves to play with sister!! he loves to cuddle and smile! he loves to do everything on his own he is so independent!!i dont think you will ever see tj with out a smile unless he is tired or hungary!

We are so excited to be adding other baby to our family! We are due October 20th ( which for is the day my mom died 5 years ago). i really want the baby to be born on that day so we can have a happy thing on a sad day....that sounds a little selffish but i think it might help me move on and see it was a happy day and not such a sad day!! if this baby is anything like its brother and sister it will come 2 weeks early! so i am not getting my heart set on it!!

So well we were looking at the baby the dr discovored that i have a fibroid (which is from what i am told a non cancerous tumor). The dr thinks that it is what caused the pre-trem labor with Trevor and he thinks it will cause the same thing with this baby. I am so not looking forward to all the pain again.....but its nice to know what is causing all this pain! i know i am not just making it up anymore!!

At the same time as being really excited for a new baby, i am really scared because i am going to be alone with just the kids. Richie is deploying again in August and i am not moving back home. There is no point in moving all our stuff to AZ and then 10 months later pack it all up again and move me and 3 kids back to TX. it would make more since to stay here and just go home and visit! Having no family here and not many friends it scares me to know that i might be alone with the babies and after a c-section its going to be really hard.

anyways We are super excited to be pergnant again!! YAY!!

well this is our sweet little family that is growing bigger and happier!! life is pretty great right now and i cant wait to see how the rest turns out!!!
