WE ARE GETTING THERE...

Here are some quick weekly updates...

Kelsey will travel to Hanoi, Vietnam tomorrow. That is on the other side of the globe.
Dad gave her a father's blessing, which is such a wonderful gift. I am so grateful
for the priesthood  on the earth today that blesses families!

This is Jaime. He and Kim cut and installed all this tile, and it looks beautiful. They are both such great craftsmen!
This is in the craft room.

I needed to take a picture of this door to see where the hinges were, and Lenna was adamant that she be in it. And she was excited to display the piece of door casing, too. Very helpful, adorable little person!

The stucco men added the trim up by the roofline in the front, sides, and back. It looks great!
They also have put the finished layer of stucco on. It will be ready to paint this week. Hallelujah!!!

This is at youth conference. Their "Naphtali station" challenge was to look at all
 the random boxes jumbled on the ground, figure out the scripture they went to,
and put them all together in order. Tough, but they did it.
This is not an easy scripture to just know off the top of your head: D&C 110:11.
The theme for youth conference was on the gathering of Israel, and their part in that.

Here are all of us that participated in youth conference from our Alta Vista branch.
There's me and dad, three young women, and three young men, and the Delgado's
 that are leaving our branch this week. Sadness!! He's joining the Navy and will be in
training for the next couple of months. She's returning to her home ward.
I'll miss them immensely.
I really love and enjoy these youth. I love how living the gospel brings
such direction and happiness to people. Living the teachings of the gospel
 keeps people from having regrets; peace comes from having no regrets.
And repentance and the atonement are available to take care of things that we do regret,
hence bringing peace.
What a wonderful plan! I am forever grateful for it!!
