Something to Think About
Happiness is the object and design of our existence and will be the end thereof, if we pursue the path that leads to it; and this path is virtue, uprightness, faithfulness, holiness and keeping all the commandments of God.
-Joseph Smith
Throughout his life, Joseph Smith would turn to God in prayer to seek the help and guidance he needed. A Church member recalled hearing him pray in Kirtland, Ohio, at a time of great personal difficulty: "Never until then had I heard a man address his Maker as though He was present listening as a kind father would listen to the sorrows of a dutiful child. . . . . There was no ostentation, no raising of the voice as by enthusiasm, but a plain conversational tone, as a man would address a present friend. It appeared to me as though, in case the veil were taken away, I could see the Lord standing facing His humblest of all servants I had ever seen." - Teachings of the Prophet Joseph Smith Priesthood/Relief Society Manual.
***
"It is not always easy to follow a righteous plan and be obedient to the laws of society and the laws of the Lord. In the long run, however, following the rules is still the best pathway to obtaining all the things the Lord has promised."
- President James E. Faust (April Priesthood Session, 2007)

Ahh, the garage! I doubt that that garage has seen the likes of an automobile for many years, but it has been well used as an art gallery (does it still smell like mineral spirits?), pelota court, soccer field (we played mini-futbal too) and the Rosenburg's used it to house a huge and complex cardboard castle made out of left-over boxes from the church.
The clips was fun for the kids to see. And the birds-I had forgotten!
It is so fun to see your pictures of the trip. You guys really move fast in the Spring! Enjoy! I know it wasn't so long ago that we were there, but still I feel a little jealous.
(Don't forget to try the pork con nata y granos de pimienta and the stuffed red peppers from Mari Carmen's. yum.)
