Did you know that Grandpa Edward Jeffrey Hill and Grandma Tamara Snell Mulford Hill do not agree on lots of things?  This does NOT usually cause a problem, but in the case of whether or not to sell their home and move when they retired, they had to agree. If they decided to move, they also had to agree on whether to buy a house or build a house, and where to live. This was a recipe for some spirited disagreement. Listen to see just what happened.

For tonight’s bedtime story we will be listening to Aunt Hannah Ray Hill Kuhn’s memories of how her Mom, Grandma Juanita Ray Hill, and Dad, Edward Jeffrey Hill, helped their children learn the joy of service.  In other words, "Service Rocks!" 

Being of service is an important purpose of life.  As the Book of Mormon states in Mosiah 2:17, “If you are in the service of your fellow beings, you are only in the service of your God!” When we serve others, it makes THEM happy, AND it makes US happy. When we are of service, we are following the example of Jesus Christ and that’s what life is all about.
