Papa & Mimi

DEAR PRECIOUS FAMILY:

2007 is really zipping by fast. The days are much shorter (or so it seems). Trying to reflect on the happenings of the last 6 months. A short trip to Hawsienda. It was really different with such a few of the family there and there were very few wildflowers in bloom. But the temperature was much cooler than Mesa. Hawsienda was 50 degrees cooler. Loved it.

We are grateful that we could attend the wedding of Anthony and Tahnee. What a special day and what a beautiful bride. We wish them many years of happiness together. Now on to our family missionaries. Can you believe we have them going to the state of Washington, New Mexico, Baltic States, Netherlands, Mexico and Australia...all over the world. We are excited for them.

We are going to Kent and Sheryl's tomorrow (Friday) for Kyle's farewell talk. Robert and Lorraine are going with us. We are looking forward to this weekend. We are very grateful that we can go. A fun weekend. We appreciate this cooler weather. Jared and Nikki have just sold their condo and are renting a house in Chandler. They are in the process of moving everything and their computer was not set up. Congratulations!! Darrian and Marci have purchased a new home in Queen Creek. They are very happy with their new home.

I appreciate all of your help in putting this family newsletter together. Marci is setting it up on a web site. Thank you, thank you, Marci. Jeffrey R. Holland was our visitor for our Stake Conference. What a dynamic spirit. I just finished reading his article in the July Ensign on "This, the Greatest of all Dispensations". It is great reading. and I recommend that you read it.

We love you all. The Gospel is true! Let us be the very best that we can.

Much love, PAPA & MIMI
