I love you, Scott!!! You have made my life better and happier, and we have been blessed with five wonderful children and twenty one grandchildren.
This photo was taken in 2010 at CMN's Celebration at Disney World in Florida.
We have pictures of Jesus Christ at some of our sites and a
Christus in the St. George Temple Visitors’ Center. Sometimes when I am talking to people, I say:
“ Jesus Christ is the head of our Church.
We try to be like Him.” I started
thinking about what Jesus is like and the attributes He has that are worthy of
copying. While reading the New
Testament, I started making a list of qualities that He demonstrated in his
life. While this list is not complete,
it at least gives a basis to go on to better our own lives. It also makes you appreciate Him more for all
that He did and is.

This week I answered the phone at the St. George Tabernacle, and a lady asked me what time a Saturday concert was going to be held. I told her, and then she started telling me about her brother who was 89 and living in Georgia. She wanted to know if we could get missionaries over there right away because her brother told her he didn't think they had missionaries where he lived. I assured her that we could get them there, and she said we need them right now because her brother finally acted like it would be OK for them to come. So I asked her for his information. Scott started working on it and called Aunt Nete. He found out that the brother lives 8 minutes from Shelly's house. Shel got right on it and contacted the sister missionaries in her town. They met with him last night. We will get more word later on how it turned out. Isn't that awesome!?!
Last week Scott was in charge of another booth that we had at the "What Women Want" expo.
We just tried it to see if it would help us get more people to come to the St. George Temple Visitors' Center. The young sister missionaries from the visitors' center came over to man the booth and talk to people. The missionaries came two at a time and worked for about 2 hours and then went back and two other sister missionaries took a turn. They liked doing it. We handed out a picture that Julie Rogers painted for the Church that shows how women help others in life.
It's starting to get busy again with families planning summer vacations and groups coming for youth conference or an activity as part of girls' camp. We did take an afternoon and drove up Kolob Terrace Road to Kolob Reservoir. It was really pretty and green and bordered on part of Zion's National Park.
