Men have come to speak of revelation as long ago given and done, as if God were dead. It is the office of a true teacher to show us that God is, not was, that he speaketh, not spake...

The need was never greater of new revelation than now.

-Ralph Waldo Emerson, 1838

belle.

In December of 2007, two of my best friends (Monkey and Mamie) got married.

Then the next November they had this:

This is Belle. Belle is one of my best friends up here. Despite my own nieces (of course), she is the cutest little girl ever. I have been begging her parents that when the time was finally right and they felt comfortable, to let me babysit while they go out and do something without having to pack her up. FINALLY! FINALLY THEY AGREED! This recent Saturday morning they went to the Temple and lunch and I got to watch Belle. She is the best little girl ever. She didn't cry from missing mommy or daddy. She didn't mind me feeding her. And she didn't poop!! Thank goodness. We went on lots of adventures together (but Shhh...don't tell her parents):

First we went to visit Tom Hanks on that lonely island. Belle thought he needed some friends.

Then we hit up Jurassic Park...despite the scariness of the situation, Belle thought it was fun!

Then we tried the Black Pearl and the Pirates weren't too amused by our visit.

So we ended up with Nemo and friends, and Belle felt right at home!
