What a fun evening. We ate (Hawaiian Haystacks), we laughed, we enjoyed the dancing, we had a lot of fun.

Thanks to all who helped with the evening.

The Ward had the opportunity to have FHE with President and Sister Clark. As can be expected it was a rewarding evening filled with excellent advice.

• If you put the important things (Spiritual: prayer, reading scriptures, attending the temple, etc. )first, then trust in the Lord that you can organize the rest of your time, you will be blessed
• Always take the little ones to church, even if you feel you are getting nothing out of it, because it teaches them from the start to know where they should be on Sundays. Read to sons about the priesthood so they will be prepared when they turn 12.
• Love your family members who have fallen away or chosen a different lifestyle. By your loving example and patience they will know what the right path is and someday return.
• Through the atonement we can overcome the natural man. It isn't easy but with work and time it can happen. You may fall back but through repentance we can always go forward.

Where were we?

Just sharing a few pictures of our (the bishop and I) Texas adventure. We left Wednesday afternoon for San Antonio TX, to watch our son graduate from Air Force Basic Training. Our flight included a lay over in Dallas/Fort Worth. Some of our former ward members just happened to live there and met us with a plate full of homemade chocolate chip cookies. They really look great and are slowly meshing into life there, but miss everyone back in Idaho.

Our Son Airman/graduate Beazer and the Bishop.

We took advantage of going to the Alamo. Despite the cold and rainy weather there was a 20 minute wait. We also went along the riverwalk, quite a pretty place, lots of shopping and restaurants. We also went to our first semi-pro hockey game (the home team lost) and tried alligator.
Overall the trip was COLD, WET, RAINY, basically miserable weatherwise. The only sun we saw escorted us to the airport. We spent alot of time doing the hurry up and wait, and wait, and wait. We are tired, but happy to have spent a few days with our son before he goes to tech training in Mississippi.
