Family Home Evening, March 8, 2008

Dear Family,

Happy Monday and Happy Family Home Evening. We hope you have all adjusted to the time change--we haven't. We can't imagine what James and the band members are going through on the other side of the world suffering from jet lag. Now that we have seen the hint of spring, Dad has pumped up all the tires on the bikes that we keep for the grandchildren to ride in the park next to our home. He put fresh batteries for the sound-effects in the BIG WHEELS, too. We are ready to roll. Dad keeps a bike on the BYU campus to take rides between classes.

We visited Grandma Amy Monday night in Salt Lake City after work. She looks great. Amy Lee came from Colorado Springs to spend a couple weeks with her.

Our previous FHE's have been a bit long so tonight we send our love, a thought, and related scriptures .

"God has known you individually . . . for a long, long time (see D&C
93:23). He has loved you for a long, long time. He not only knows the names
of all the stars (see Psalm 147:4; Isaiah 40:26); He knows your names and
all your heartaches and your joys! By the way, you have never seen an
immortal star; they finally expire. But . . . you . . . are immortal
individuals--imperfect but who are, nevertheless, 'trying to
be like Jesus'!" (Neal A. Maxwell)

All our love,

Mom and Dad xoxoxoxoxoxox
