Our Spring Break is going to be a special one: Kami turns 8 and gets baptized, Curtis returns home from Peru and has a homecoming, and Leyna turns 4. Oh yeah, and I get to undergo radiation again just before leaving town. Yay!
The plan is to celebrate all these milestones in Gilbert, AZ, the baptism being held Saturday, April 10th at 4:00 pm at the Stapley Stake Center. We know it's a drive for most, but wanted you to know that you are warmly invited. Ther's no greater feeling than a roomful of loved ones sharing in a spiritual experience.

I had an epiphany today while sitting in the oncologist's office. There's so much talk and paraphernalia about finding cures for cancer. There's bitter talk about why Heavenly Father would allow such suffering. I sat there thinking to myself, No. My heart tells me it's not like that at all! ... Think of the communities and families that have come together to love, serve, and mourn with one another.
Our Father in heaven provides opportunities every day for us to keep his commandments, to follow His ultimate example of serving, loving, caring for His spirit children, our spirit brothers and sisters. I get to experience firsthand on a daily basis how beautiful the hearts of mankind really are.
Turn off the news of contentious politics, crime, and adultery for a bit. You'll find a world of compassion. PLEASE ACCEPT MY GRATITUDE to all those who uplift and show me what leading a Christ-like life is really all about. Loads and loads of LOVE!!!
