Happy New Year! We all need to be repenting.

Pratt and me want to be wishing everybody reading, a happy new year! Thanks for stopping by, and thanks for all the letters your writing. Specially Cat Whisperer, Melissa, Sweet Potato, Chatelaine, Keeping Sweet, WC, Anonymous MD, Anon E. Mouse, and all my followers (sorry if I forgot anybody)

We'll probally be having a quiet day today and just be thinking about all the stuff the bretheren were saying at the dance. They were talking about repenting for the new year and getting the spirit more. One of the things is that the women need to be loving polygamy more. Its no good just saying its OK for your husband to be having more wives - the women need to be happy about it to! Then god might be accepting them. The guysve got to stop wanting to be owning stuff for themselves, specially the United Order houses - cus they belong to the preisthood (and that means god) We all need to be ready to run out into the desert sometime if god wants us to. One of our prophets said a whiles back that we need to do that sometime, and leave everything behind, and not come back till whatevers going to happen, happens, THEN we can come back home, but not before. The other stuff we need to be doing is paying our tithing properly and paying our offerings to, cus theres not so much money this year. The bretherenre saying the prophet Joseph and the book of mormonre under attack from the devil to, and we shouldnt be worrying about bad stuff folk might be saying! We need to have faith and stay strong and we'll get to the CK!!!

It was nice having the dancing. We like "Red River Valley" cus the guys get to dance with 2 gals at once, so it means we can be getting more dancing and not just standing around waiting. The words go -

You pass right on round the Valley

And you circle to the left and to the right,

Then you swing your girl in the valley

And you swing your red river girl.

Thats my favrite dance.  Theres the last waltz at the end but thats always tricky for the guy to choose which wife. Pratt trys to split it up with all the sisterwives, but you dont get much time!

Anyways have a great year!
Blessings!

Getting more spiritaul.

Im real late writing today. Pratt called an early morning prayer meeting for the family. He wanted to be talking about repenting cus he said we all need to be doing it before the end of the year (and some galsre needing it more than others!!) Pratt said we need to be fasting today and tomorrow to) I think thats a real good idea (its good for your health and keeeping your figure to, as well as getting the spirit) Ill probally just drink juice and eat some plain bread to keep going.

Pratts WAY spiritaul. He knew without me even saying much, about Harmonee and LiaHona doing Christmas. (thats why we we're praying this morning and doing the fast to.) Some of the stuff I put in his little red book was things like him saying "All you gals need to be in harmony with me if you want to be getting to the celestial kingdom" and "All you gals need to be in harmony with me if we're wanting to be chosen to go to the new jerusalem". Pratt said to, "follow the prophet", "dont be questioning the teachings of the bretheren - that makes folk go apostate"and "always keep a sweet spirit whatever your doing". Thats SO importent! Somebody was saying about not backbiting about wives. There SO right! Im WAY glad thats not happening in OUR family. Thats what makes us special!

I was thinking about somebody else saying about not just doing polygamy to get to the CK. I guess they werent reading ALL my writing. Polygamys no good just on its own- we're writing a bunch about it cus folk think its real interesting, but theres heaps of other stuff to. I was writing about authoritey, and right groups, and baptising, and faith. So its not just polygamy. I probally need to be writing about united order to, cus Brigham said that polygamy and united order was the "fullness of the gospel" so if we're wanting the best places in the CK we need to be doing that to. Maybe Ill start on it tomorrow.
Got to go.
Blessings!
