JUST HAD A GREAT WEEKEND

SHERRI AND I HAVE BEEN VERY BUSY GETTING EVERYTHING IN ORDER FOR OUR TRIP TO ALASKA. IT WILL BE THE FIRST REAL VACATION THAT WE HAVE TAKEN TOGETHER SINCE WE HAVE BEEN MARRIED. ONE OF THE ONLY DRAWBACKS IS THAT SHE WANTS ME TO FLY WITH HER IN A SMALL PONTOON PLANE OVER FOUR GLACIERS, YOU KNOW, ZOOMING UP AND DOWN AND ALL AROUND. I CANNOT HANDLE A ROLLER COASTER VERY WELL. SHE MUST REALLY WANT TO SEE IF THOSE BARF BAGS CAN REALLY HOLD LIQUID. OH WELL, ANYTHING FOR MY SWEETHEART. BRENT AND KAMI AND THE KIDS CAME DOWN FOR THREE DAYS AND DID WE HAVE A GREAT TIME WITH THE SWIMMING AND ALL THE GOOD FOOD. WORDS CANNOT TELL HOW WONDERFUL IT IS TO GET YOUR FAMILY TOGETHER AND ENJOY EACH OTHER AND THE SPIRIT IT BRINGS TO YOU. OUR ONLY WORRY IS BRIAN AND THE SCOWL HE HAS AND THE BULGING VEINS ON HIS FOREHEAD AS WE PLAY GAMES. WHAT A COMPETETIOR. I MUST SAY THATR THE GAME THE SAINT GEORGE ELLSWORTHS BROUGHT DOWN, L C R, LEFT CENTER RIGHT IS A VERY DIABOLICAL GAME. WE HAD SO MUCH FUN WITH IT. IT IS A NEW FAMILY FAVORITE, RIGHT UP THERE WITH 7-UP, MORMON BRIDGE, AND THE GREAT DALMUTI. I ESPECIALLY ENJOYED SWIMMING WITH THE KIDS UNTIL THE SUN BURNED ME TO A CRISP, BUT IT IS A DRY HEAT???????????ANYWAY WE HAD A GOOD TIME AND REALLY ENJOYED THEIR VISIT, AND THE EXCUSE TO EAT. WORDS CANNOT EXPRESS OR EXPLAIN HOW MUCH I LOVE MY FAMILY. I HAVE SO MANY SHORTCOMINGS AND WEAKNESSES AND AM SO VERY SURE THAT I HAVE FAILED THEM ALL AT SOME TIME, BUT I WANT THEM ALL TO KNOW THAT I CHERISH THEIR LIVES AND WANT THE BEST FOR THEM ALL. I DO NOT HAVE MUCH IN THIS WORLD BUT I DO HAVE A TESTIMONY OF THE GOSPEL. IT HAS BROUGHT ME AND MY FAMILY SO MUCH JOY AND BUOYED ME UP IN THE DEEPEST AND MOST SORROWFUL TIMES. IT GAVE ME A BASOS TO BUILD MY FAITH AND HOPE FOR THE FUTURE. THERE WERE TIMES THAT I THOUGHT MY FATHER WAS NOT AWARE OF ME AND MY FAMILY, BUT I SAW SO MANY THINGS HAPPEN TO US TO BRING US THE PEACE OF THE GOSPEL AND THE HOPE FOR THE FUTURE, AND THE BURNING KNOWLEDGE THAT EVERYTHING HAS ITS SEASON AND TIME. OUR FATHER IN HEAVEN DOES KNOW THAT WE ARE HERE AND HE IS AWARE OF EVERYTHING THAT WE GO THROUGH, AND ASKS NO MORE OF US THAN HE OR OUR SAVIOR HAVE NOT GONE THROUGH OR EXPERIENCED. TO THIS END I KNOW THAT THE GOSPEL IS TRUE AND THE ETERNAL TRUTHS IN IT ARE FOR US ALL, IT IS UP[ TO US TO BE OUR OWN ADVOCATES FOR THE ETERNAL KINGDOMS, MAY WE ALL BE THERE TOGETHER IS MY PRAYER, AMEN.
