Prophet of the World - President Thomas S. Monson

With A Grateful Heart!

What a comfort and joy it is to have received the witness of the Spirit in knowing that we have a true Prophet of God to lead His work here and now on the earth at this time. It was with power that the Spirit bore witness that President/Prophet Monson was indeed whom the Lord wanted to lead His work and that he had been called of God. This witness came as President Monson spoke to the media on Monday. There is no doubt that he is the Prophet to lead Jesus Christ's Church at this time. We are honored to be a part of this great work in these last days. How grateful I am for such an honor!

We miss President Hinckley

What a privilege it has been to have lived at that time of President Gordon B. Hinckley!
I recall being in the SLC Temple with other Family Members at the time of President Benson's death and going to the elevator, only to have President Hinckley, not yet President, there running the elevator....his comment was, "I am assigned to be the elevator man today!" I was able to walk down the hall of the temple with him after exiting the elevator. I commented on how hard it was for the Church to loose President Benson. His reply was something to the effect of: "Death is part of life and we just go on as life is just a phase of it all."
What a man! We honor him and are grateful to have know him!

Winter Wonder Land of January 08

Wow, we have had winter this year! Our neighbor said that in the 40 years that he has lived here he has never seen snow like we got on Sunday. We ended up with 6-7 inches which is very rare for this part of the country. It was kind of fun to shovel off the driveway....reminded us of Utah!

The Day after Christmas with "The Boys"

It was fun to be with the "Boys at old Sacramento on the day after Christmas!

The cowboys with the cowboy! Fun time
The old train museum was amazing! One train rocked and rolled so that you felt like you were really riding on a moving train. Another one dining car had service settings for each of the railroad companies. They were fun to see!

And of course we loved being with little J. He allowed us to hold him as long as he could see his mother! This is his new Christmas outfit...hat and all!

J was fun to be around.....although he loves his Mommy best, he allowed us to hold him every now and then and that was fun.
We went to Sacramento a day early and come home a day later than planned since we missed a storm both ways. So thanks to M/K for our extended stay!!! It was very fun!

It was sooooo fun to have A home for a short while. We kept him busy doing all the electronic stuff that we got for Christmas.....not that we understand it all yet but we got a good start on it anyway. And I have been organizing my computer pictures too with his teaching.
It is always prayers answered when everyone makes it back where they belong though after a fun time together.
