Oh wise one!
no seriously. Linneya enjoyed the response. she said it made her think a lot. i totaly agree. Its like that in so many aspects of life though. No matter how we look at it. Look at the life of a gospel follower. We spend our time being in the world, trying to be free from it, however, we try soo hard to measure up to the ideals of morality placed by the world. The teachings of Christ are not of this world, yet so often we compare, rationalize, and compete again the wordly views as if they were. It so much of a "greater law", that we cant even really grasp it entirely i dont think. for example, law of consecration? just imagine the type of attitude everybody will have?... Even that idea of peoples attitudes is compared to what the worldly attitude is. it would be interesing to live in the city of Enoch.

Im so excited to hear where Zak gets called to! I HOPE ITS THE MBM!!! THATD BE SICK. i would request to train hahah, thatd be so much fun.

Its a small world in the church; and its not on accident, or just coincidence. thats all i have to say about that.

Yosemite, eh? fun! well...... maybe they will send me to Martha's Vinyard in the spring!!! so HA! thats just me trying to not be jealous... ::Sigh::

We commited Meg to baptism! she is excited, and she is doing SOOO great. its amazing. her whole attitude is better! im so excited for her. We are going to commit Linnaya to baptism, just to see how serious she is about investigating, or if its just somthing to do, ya know? Shirley is moving up the street,a nd said she isnt ready to think about baptism right now, but after the move she will be.... AND her son. Ken now believs in J.C, and wants us to teach his sone who just had his kidney out. There are so many blessings here, i am privledeged to be a part of it! im glad that thigns are going well right when i leave, it makes me feel like its safe to leave lol.

The Pabsts are leaving the 4th, and they have family dropping of their RV here soon. they are taking us to Jimminy Peak (alpine slides, etc) next P-Day! im excited. i love them so much, and will miss them. Im going to miss the whole branch! i feel like a part of em, ya know?

Well, im looking forward to a transfer however, i think it will be good.Love you, miss you, take care!
