On Sunday afternoon we went over to the Blosils’ house for home church. There were a lot of people there, and everyone was SO nice to the kids. Nic taught a lesson that included the kids acting out Peter walking on the waves to Jesus. Ammon was Peter and took the part so seriously. It was too cute.<\/p>\n

Then in the evening the two younger kids, Abe and I walked all around delivering ward checks to people. Abe and I were discussing my faith journey and negotiating through the pain this causes him.<\/p>\n
When we came home he decided to read the CES letter<\/a> to better understand some of my concerns about the Church. I have so many theological, historical, and moral concerns, and honestly the CES letter just hits the highlights. But at the same time, my\u00a0lived<\/em> experience of the Church has been awesome, so full of blessings, friends, community, and faith. So that’s a tension I am working out in my heart and soul.<\/p>\n Abe was up until past midnight reading, and then he got up at 4:30am to go to the temple. I don’t know how he does it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" On Sunday afternoon we went over to the Blosils’ house for home church.
