Be worthy to be visited by angels my sons. PRAY!

One thing that I always do is try and have a conversation with the Lord daily even min by min if the day is tough. And you know I am always talking to the angels that the Lord sends all over this universe to do the extra work that he needs assistance with. Think about that, his church it is a very organized church with a system of people doing a chain of commands in proper lines of authority. Some wards work better then others at doing the delegating to the one that is below them. The same kind of organization has got to be happening in the Heavens and those who have passed on. So the other day at the bottom of a note about priesthood it says
"Live Worthy Enough To Be Visited By Angels".

I guess that means we need to be talking to them and listening to the Holy Ghost and all the messengers that he has in his chain of command. Prayer is the only way to get those messages over there for him to hear or any angles that he has assigned to collect the prayer and work on our needs and desires. Can you see in your minds eye what your assigned angel would be doing if you do not take the time to talk to Heavenly Father daily even min by min. He or she is just stetting there waisting away his eternities waiting to do the job that he was assigned in trying to assist you to accomplish, grow, strain, understand, receive, and become a God or Goddess by learning all that our bodies were sent here on this earth to learn.

So that said take the time to keep an angle working and PRAY!!!

Family News

News today Morgan White passed away on Sunday I forgot to tell you. Also I saw the neatest testimony about a man with no limbs and how he just keeps on going and giving all his trust to God. Wouldn't it be wonderful if you could teach him the truth but his example is teaching truth also.

Nick Vujicic (click on this link and watch something amazing) is amazing you will have to see his video when you come back. He says that in the end when you are standing in front of God he will ask you, Do You Know Me and who have you brought with you that is all that matters in the end.

We are so blessed by you serving a mission thank you again son for the choice you made to go.

Caleb is so happy Uncle Golden is taking him down with Riley to unload hay and so now he says he will get to have a bit of money. I guess he will learn how quickly it can run through your hands. He almost has it already spent.

Dallas is at Snow having a blast and took some drama classes. He will have to say hey to Wills little sister because I guess she is there now.

I hope you were not hoping for a package because I am lame about getting them sent with timing, plus all the Missionary Moms are saying that all the packages they have sent since that strike you talked about happened has slowed the receiving down. All their sons are saying they haven't gotten their mail or packages for a bit.

I am saving all the emails, lots I put on our family blog so all the family can read them as its hard to put pic with a letter and resend on an email.

From Tyrell

That is very sad to hear about Brother Morgan. I saw him on a video just the other day and it was kind of exciting to see. Give their family my best. I always liked that man alot. Well once again it has been a very fast paced week and the weeks only go by faster and faster. I tell you there is just to little time to waste time. And yes i do realize that in 5 days it will be that time. It is already hard enough to forget when i am living with an Elder that came out with me. I don't have my planner with me so i might not be able to remember the whole week, but as you asked the question, how is Cifford doing,.....He's not. We found him in some not so good conditions the other day and i wasn't so happy. We decided to drop by their house Saturday night and see what we could do to help them get to church. Well we knocked on the door and Elijah answered the door and the first thing i noticed was the earrings he had in and then the burning cigarette butt in his hand. He very embarrassingly threw it away and then invited us in. I was upset, but i didn't really show it, because i realize it is very addicting. But it just got worse. as we walked in the house we sat down to find Clifford trying to hide a bottle of liquor and his friends all sitting around a pack of cards. I didn't say anything about it and i pretended not to see at first. Then we sat down and it was kind of awkward. Elder Makosa said how is everyone and i didn't really have anything to say. Elijah repeated my thoughts by saying " I don't know what to say" after what seemed like hours of sitting there trying to think of what to say i just said how i felt and the words were " To tell you the truth, I'm very disappointed." there was a pause and then i said " You know, Elder Makosa and i love you very much, but we can only help you if you are willing to help yourself." I kind of lost track of things after that because I didn't see how they could still be doing what they were doing, and we eventually just left, after Bongoni told us some jokes he had heard. I'm very frustrated with the situation, but I'm sure we will continue to see them because Bongoni is the Nephi of the family and he is still on track. Keep praying for them and I will too, but I'm not sure if we will be focusing to much of our time on them anymore. Man it's hard to have to do those kinds of things, because you know how much better their life could be.

Maybe to answer the question about the ties, you don't need to donate any and please don't ask the members to do that. it's not necessary. But i myself would like some ties. I haven't given one to everyone I've baptized just those who can't afford their own.

1.So are you trying to make the good impression with the Branch pres. because of the late incident?

1.I can't remember the incident at this moment, but mostly I'm just trying to make my branch president look good. there is a lot of catching up to do record wise.

2.That sounds so sad that there are so many children without parents.

2.there are but it's not as bad as you would think. They have people who take them in.

3. Do they just sleep in the streets or are they living with some kind of family?

3. Answered

4. Has there been any better progress with Clifford and his struggle?

4. answered.

sorry the e-mail shop is closing, got to go

Love Elder Jones

Geneology and FAMILY

Family isn't it the most important gift we can have on this earth? In my religion we believe that we can be forever families. I guess if that's how it's going to be then we for sure need to work on making those people be the ones we like to be with the best. I am so lucky to have great in laws on all sides of me. I would really claim them more as my sisters then sister in laws. So also of my brother in laws they are the very best at rescuing me when my hubby isn't there to save me from a dumb car break down or giving me great directions by allowing me to follow him even if he changes lanes a dozen times to see if I will follow his every move ( hahaha ya Chad talking about you). How about when my children had to live with so many of you for so many months and sometimes still drop in when needing a spot to hang out for a min. I know that I can count on everyone of them to help me when my time of need is the greatest. That's what FAMILY is for and this whole world should remember that our ties really aren't that far from each other if we just stop and take a look at the genealogy of our families.
JR Holbrook Family reunions random photos shoot.





This grand Lady is the Queen of this family. I am honored to have her as my Nana.

Truly THANKFUL

No feeding tube just the oxygen left Sept 2007.Jan. 2007 to Junes Cowboy still watching his sats with the Monitor even while in the car.


Faith and Gratitude We are where they said we would never be.
So maybe I am going back in time a few years but today as I put Jer. on the bus and we had no tubing attached to his little neck, I had a moment of WOW. My memory shot back in time to 3&half years ago sitting in a New Born Intensive Care Unit around this time of year pinning to just go home and be a complete family and be free from the struggle we were facing and remembering that they told me that he would never go to school with out a ventilator and the trach. It was an incredible WOW. So FAITH and GRATITUDE just over took me as he waved goodbye and I went home to write this. I am so blessed by the Lord and realize that. These scripture are so true 3 Ne. 17: 8 , D&C 42: 48, D&C 29: 6 , Heb. 11: 1. I received the most profound promise in a blessing before he was born but I still had to go the whole challenge to see it come to a realization. My Dad had stated in that blessing that everything would be all right after the challenges were over. They are not all over but we don’t have to drag that machine to school that’s for sure. So check out some of the photo progress that we made through the last three years. Notice how we gain kinds of tubing and then slowly lose those kinds of tubing. It took us from Aug 2006 to June 2007 to get rid of all those different kinds of tubing’s and we still to this day at night have the nasal tubing when he sleeps


The size he grew while we lived in the hospital was much bigger then a 10 dollar bill! But he went from having to have a tracheotomy, ventilator, and feeding tubes to freedom.
June 2006, 1lbs 14oz Breathing on his own! He was as big as a 10 dollar bill. Jer.'s starting Story was that he didn't need any help breathing for 24 hours and then assistance with blow by air for a month. Then what they call the NICU rollercoster ride hit and we just hung on tight!
