Branson Jack Call

I just returned from the funeral of little Branson Jack Call. I just wanted to post Robert and Natalie's website they created to his memory.

Okay, so Birthday week has passed. We are all a year older. (Except Rod) We have all eaten lots of whole wheat chocolate cake (Jespersen family recipe) and homemade ice cream. We had 2 parties and opened lots of presents. Of course we have the fairness police in our home, so everyone was on alert to see if someone got more presents than anyone else. Preston is still at that wonderful age where he just doesn't care about how many and what he got, just happy to get anything. He tends to be pretty easy going about most things- food being the exception.
I will be going up to Richfield, UT this next week. My nephew and his wife lost their baby the day before it was to be delivered. They live in Kentucky but are coming back to Utah to bury their baby. Rod and I had a really hard time with this one. I think it brought back all the too close times of almost loosing our babies. We struggled with the "why". We listened to a talk by Elder Maxwell that really helped us put it into perspective. As we listened, I was overwhelmed by the spirit. I had a wonderful feeling that the Lord is in charge and he knows what he is doing- He will give us the comfort we need to get through our trials if we allow Him to. Its the whole faith thing. We need to trust that the plan He has for us is better than the one we have for ourselves. I have forgotten that lately. I've been trying to work out my own plan and trying to avoid the one He has for me. (I'm not a big fan of trials!) As I listened, I was overcome with the feelings that I need to trust in the one He has for me because the one I have for myself is lonely! I love the gospel and most of all I love my Savior!
