The Prophet of my day....



How sad, a man i have only put butter in a dish for, poured water for and prayed for has joined his wife. i can only look at it that way. i sometimes wonder if he had a count down. ya know good day the number was like 1,000; and then on hard days he was like 1 more day then i am coming to see you! think so. he loved his wife. we love him. i think it was his enthusiasum, wit, and charm that made me see the gospel in a different way, a better way. i hope i can thank him sometime. he was such a pwerful man for being so little. i remeber one time we had tickets to conference, and the spirit was there, but when he walked in, it was so strong. it was almost like you could see it. absolutely amazing. i knew that he wanted the best for me and that he would pray for me, not by name, but he did. i really hope i can thank him. but i don't think i could get the words out, maybe just a hug.....
i am so greatful that we know who is next and we know his testimony. that we dont have to wait for weeks or months to see what stranger has been called to lead me. i am so greatful that he is willing and wise. and i cant wait to see what he brings to the church. i love the Gospel.

It's so sad, but happy for him I'm sure...I'm so going to miss hearing him speak and his great sense of humor.

Joanne! Great to hear from you...your kids are adorable and soo big! Congrats on the house being pretty much finished. That must be great. We moved here about 8 months ago and decided to rent first - until we knew the area better. So we will probably buy this summer and we can't wait.

Sounds like things are going good for you guys -- you are a great little mom.

Glad we're back in touch!
