By day Garrett, by night Gmon, our superhero.

Gmon, when I think of you, you bring peace to my heart.  A few years ago our family had a gap.  We were missing part of the puzzle that makes us whole.  We had no idea how we were going to move forward with that hole.  Little did we know that gap was filled by a wonderful dad/husband plus two.  You have helped complete our family.  Most men in your role would not want to look to our past, but you are above the rest...you look at the past as something that we can add to, not replace.

When I see this family photo, the first thing I feel is joy and happiness...then I notice what is at the center of the photo, that green bracelet.  Then I feel more than joy and happiness, I can't describe it because I can't seem to fin the right word, something like "Epic" there is more to it.  When I looked up "Epic" at thesaurus.com it says, "Heroic Poem," Gmon, you are writing a Heroic Poem in our family.

Now how can I put this into an act of service?

On Nov 4th, I received an email from The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. Introducing Light the World. 

I knew I wanted to be involved in this program help others to be involved too.  As primary president I was given early access to the advent calendar which gave 3 suggestions of how we can follow the Saviors example.  As I read them, I saw how wonderful they were.  I decided to make a paper chain for every primary child in my ward, all 78 of them.  1,950 strips of paper later, I had a plan.  

I gave each primary child a red and white bracelet to help remind them of their Light the World thing to do that day. 

On the Sunday before Thanksgiving I gave each of the 78 primary kids a packet of 25 strips, coordinating, red, green and white.  I also added a child option for each day.  

It has been my favorite Christmas Season as every night we paused and thought about how we can be more like our Savior.  You can see our chains on our tree.

Thank you Gmon for being our Superhero...love you, Amy
