Last week, Kurtis and I were sick, so we did not go to church. We made our kids go, though. Kaleb had to be in the Primary program (For my not LDS friends, Primary is what we call Sunday School for the kids 3 through 11. While they are in Primary, they learn songs about Jesus and gospel principles. Near the end of the year sometime, the Primary presidency puts together a program with the songs they learned, scriptures, and personal testimonies and we call that the Primary Program).
Riley was relieved that he turned 12 before the program, so he didn't have to do it. I was bummed that I didn't get to see this program. But I did get to listen to it while I did other things during the rehearsal they had the Friday before. I just wish that I had paid better attention. Had I known I was going to be sick enough to stay home, I would have.
Any way, so I has started a picture for my Sacrament Meeting Art series on the 9th, but didn't finish.
Sunday was our Stake Conference (Seriously, the LDS church has it's own language. The LDS church divides it's members into Wards, Stakes, Regions, and so on. The congregation who meets together each Sunday is called a Ward. The bishop is the head of the Ward. Then there is the Stake which is comprised of I don't know how many wards. It probably depends on where you live. Utah would have a lot of wards in each Stake. We call the person in charge of the stake our Stake President Then there are a lot of Stakes in each Region and so on. It's like a phone tree system, I guess you could say. Any way, we have Stake Conference twice a year, and we meet as a Stake and it's two hours of listening to speakers teach about the gospel.) It was a really nice meeting, but it felt long. I would say it's probably because we only had one rest hymn. They should have done two (in my opinion). Or a congregational hymn and a hymn performed by the choir. The girl in front of me got up and said, "That was the longest two hours of my life!" I think she was ten or eleven.
I managed to finish the picture I started on the 9th, and then two other works of art (with about fifteen minutes to spare). I hope you enjoy them.
Sacrament Meeting Art #47: November 23, 2014.
My friend posted a picture of a magnificent sunrise, and so I told her I had to do it for my art series. I don't see many sunrises these days. Sunsets are more my style. She said it would be awesome if I did that. Here's her picture:
Awe inspiring.
Sacrament Meeting Art #48: November 23, 2014
My cousin took a breath taking picture of an Arizona sunset he experienced recently and posted on Instagram. I didn't ask for his permission, so I will ask for his forgiveness instead. I just hope he likes it. Here's the original post:
I know, right?
Sacrament Meeting Art #49: November 23, 2014.
During the last play I was in, I got to see the change of the leaves on the mountains. I took this picture on my phone after arriving at rehearsal one evening and I decided to try it out in crayon. I just took out the houses because I didn't want civilization in the picture.
Here's the photo:
Not bad, eh?
