We Must Make Our Own Happiness

“Mortality is a precious drop in the bucket of eternity. Why not make each minute pleasant and fulfilling? We must make our own happiness. As President Spencer W. Kimball once said, ‘Happiness does not depend upon what happens outside of you, but on what happens inside of you. It is measured by the spirit with which you meet the problems of life.’ ”

James E. Faust, “A Vision of What We Can Be,” Ensign, Mar. 1996, 10

Aloha Festival

My Dad and I spent a Saturday together.  We harvested our carrots and then planted potatoes, corn, peas, beans, and onions.

In the afternoon we went to the Aloha Festival.  We saw Adam and Xan's family. While Dad and I ate lunch we got to watch a group of Tongan dancers.  It was a blast!
