Meet Amy

I have struggled with the answer when asked, "What do you do?" and it isn't work-related. Ultimately, we settled on that I find things and untangle things. But I also read (a lot), pretend to wake surf, and watch Hallmark films.

Who is thy Neighbor?

Who is thy Neighbor?

Gospel Doctrine Lesson 14 – April 10, 2011

The disciples ask Jesus an interesting question. They ask him “Who is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
