The A Gang: 1st ride on New Mountain Bike

1st ride on New Mountain Bike

Addison has been saving for several weeks now to have enough money to pay for his new Mountain Bike. It was more of a challenge than he would have liked. We have him divide every dollar he makes into half and put it into his Missionary Fund and then also pay his tithing. So he ends up with only 40% of every dollar to use. Uncle Jason/Camp Hunt always sells their bikes at the end of the season of camp and Addison was eager to purchase one and go on rides with his dad and his buddies. Well, needless to say after scrimping and saving, he now has his bike and was able to take it up into the hills above Sherwood tonight with his dad, Uncle Nate and a few more of Ammon's buddies.
They had a great ride and I am glad that Ammon and Addison can spend this time together.

Stephen and I will always remember riding over to Afton, Wyoming via the the Crow Creek Road to watch Ryan play a little league baseball game.; October 09, 2008

"To you women of today, who are old or young, may I suggest to you that you write, that you keep journals, that you express your thoughts on paper. Writing is a great discipline. It is a tremendous education effort. It will assist you in various ways, and you will bless the lives of many--now and in the years to come, as you put on paper some of your experiences and some of your musings."
--President Gordon B. Hinckley

"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh you memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experience.
--Gordon B. Hinckley, 2006

"When our children were very small, I started to write down a few things about what happened every day..." The prompting came to me, "I'm not giving you these experiences for yourself. Write them down." "I recorded those things so that my children could have the memory someday when they would need it." "Have I seen the hand of God reaching out to touch us or our children or our family today?" "I urge you to find ways to recognize God's kindness."
--Elder Eyring 2007
