[While planning her 16th, night-games-at-the-park birthday party.]
Alana (16): Can't we just have it at that park right over there?
Mom: Yea.
Alana: It's perfect. Because it's beautiful. It's close by. And it's right across the street from the temple so everyone will remain worthy!

Good for her for being so mindful of the influence of the temple. And can I just say that I am so jealous that you live so close to a temple. Maybe one day.
Super cute! What a good girl!
She followed it up by saying, “I mean with Moroni trumpeting over us and everything, no one will even be tempted to do anything bad.” 🙂
This kid turned 16 on June 12th and just had her third date yesterday afternoon. And she has a fourth date lined up — with the male portion of the OTHER couple from yesterday’s double date. And, yes, her fifth and sixth dates (repeats of dates two and one, respectively) are already secure.
I’ll just make sure they all have their dates under Moroni.
Yikes! I am so glad that I don’t have to deal with that for at least another ten years!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
