Hello All,

I'm starting this letter early to better think of all of the spetabulous things that i have to say this week...

...

well, sorry I guess it didn't work. I do have to say that I-cover was soooo awesome! Super scary but WOW! So exiting! 1,000 people pre-ordered tickets but there was also a long line there so i don't really know how many people really showed up, but there were a lot of people there! Before the show we were all sitting in the bands' section and periodically Tessia and Mackenzie would freak out and yell, it was alright though because there was a nice guy next to us calming us down and telling us not to worry about it, he was super good, his band got 2nd place and he was going crazy on the piano. Everyone was pretty funny though and it was just a fun environment! Thanks for coming down mom, I had so much fun! I hope you all didn't pass out on the ride home!

I am sooo exited to come down for the twins baptism! I have a ride down there now so it's a for sure deal! It is so exiting to see that you guys are growing up and going through these amazing life experiences!

I still haven't found my ipod, i think i might have to cut my losses =(. I wish I could send you pictures!

It snowed here, most people were grumbling about, because they don't like snow haha, oh well, it makes it pretty outside! And it will probably be warm again tomorrow judging by the weathers bipolarity up here!

It's too bad that our spring breaks don't fall on the same week, but I will be out on the 6th of April and be back for 10 days which will be fun! exited for everything! Yo lo esperanzo estas feliz!

Love, Love, Love you all!

"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbor's children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived." (Marjorie Pay Hinckley)

"To be hopeful in bad times is not just foolishly romantic. It is based on the fact that human history is a history not only of cruelty, but also of compassion, sacrifice, courage, kindness. What we choose to emphasize in this complex history will determine our lives. If we see only the worst, it destroys our capacity to do something. If we remember those times and places--and there are so many--where people have behaved magnificently, this gives us the energy to act, and at least the possibility of sending this spinning top of a world in a different direction. And if we do act, in however small a way, we don't have to wait for some grand Utopian future. The future is an infinite succession of presents, and to live now as we think human being s should live, in defiance of all that is bad around us, is itself a marvelous victory." (Howard Zinn)

“God made the world for the delight of human beings--if we would see His goodness everywhere, His concern for us, His awareness of our needs: the phone call we’ve waited for, the ride we are offered, the letter in the mail, just the little things He does for us throughout the day. As we remember and notice His love for us, we just begin to fall in love with Him because He is so busy with us--you just can’t resist Him. I believe there’s no such thing as luck in life, it’s God’s love, it’s His.” (Mother Teresa)

“[To have Faith in Christ] means, of course, trying to do all that He says. There would be no sense in saying you trusted a person if you would not take his advice. Thus if you have really handed yourself over to Him, it must follow that you are trying to obey Him. But trying in a new way, a less worried way. Not doing the things in order to be saved, but because He has begun to save you already. Not hoping to get to Heaven as a reward for your actions, but inevitably wanting to act in a certain way because a first faint gleam of Heaven is already inside you.” (C.S. Lewis)
