Dear Blog Readers,
This week for Family Home Evening we discussed this talk.
Our family wants to help every person young and
old feel the Saviors love-as we do.
I decide to utilize my blog to reach to you- wherever you are; in your homes, or at work, maybe you are checking this blog on your phone at the DMV. Perhaps you live overseas, maybe you are on the computer, or in-between loads of wash and babies napping, (like me), or maybe you are at school- wherever you are, my Little Nies, Mr. Nielson, and I want to share with you what we know.
We hope that this knowledge will help you today- or tomorrow or- when you are discouraged and sad, frightened or lonely.
We hope that after reading this you will feel the
Savior a little more in your hearts and lives.
I sat down with each child at the kitchen table last night.
I typed, they spoke.
Before we began, I asked them to imagine a boy or girl about their same age who lives in Iceland, Germany, Mexico, or back in New Jersey and hope that this message will reach you.
Word-for-word (capitalization too) here is what my children know
and what they want to share with you.

I will start with Claire.
{In the next few days I will share the others}
