be in danger of the judgement."

O, let it shine

Let it shine, let it shine

Hide it under a bushel, no

I'm gonna let it shine

Hide it under a bushel, no

I'm gonna let it shine,

let it shine, let it shine

Let it shine.

We don't work Sundays

more than necessary.

Um, I might go out to the garden

if I need an onion

that I didn't bring in Saturday,

and I decided I'll make

some soup and I need an onion.

Things like that, except, but, er...

We try to use the day totally for...

um...

spiritually renewing and, just

to spend time with our children.

Sunday before noon,

the children don't play outdoors.

And in the afternoon, it's a time

with us to play games with them.

Miriam and David have been married

for nearly 11 years.

How did you get together, then?

Why, you know,

in the traditional way,

you just, er... muster up

enough boldness and courage

to ask a girl if you can court her.

So that's what I did

at the age of 18.

So we had a year and a half of

courtship then we were married.

And that was a blessed

year and a half.

And I did not doubt

that relationship.

I clearly felt it was God

leading us together.

Miriam had a conviction

for a hands-off courtship,

so we had a hands-off courtship.

I mean... No touching at all,

or, what's the line?

A hands-off...

We didn't embrace each other.

We didn't hug each other,

we didn't kiss each other.

But we would sit together.

We sat beside each other

and enjoyed each other's warmth.

A squeeze of the hand sometimes.

This is my wedding dress...

that I had with a white...

We wear white cape aprons.

I feel it's very important

to make the dress in such a way

that it adorns our inner spirit

and not bring out our...

our bodily figure.

No, it-it should be,

men are attracted to the heart,

not to the figure.

As a woman, we can do a lot

to not bring a man to lust.

I feel us women don't quite realise

men's battle with, um...

it's just,

God made them with that nature.

They have this lustful nature.

The natural instinct is there

but if we encourage it,

it might make them stumble.

I never knew about it

before my husband told me.

You know, the battle that, um...

he had with women

that had a lot of leg exposed

or even lower necklines

and I had no idea

that he had that battle!

Good morning!

Good morning! Good morning!

Come on in!

It's 4:
30 in the morning.

Every day, Miriam gets up

to cook breakfast for Dave

before he goes to work at 5:00.

Good morning.

Good morning.

Good morning. Good morning, Steve.

Two eggs and a cornmeal mush.

It's my favourite.

Heavenly Father, I ask for a blessing

upon the hands

that prepared this food.
