I Needed to Read this Quote
"No pain that we suffer, no trial that we experience is wasted. It ministers to our education, to the development of such qualities as patience, faith, fortitude and humility. All that we suffer and all that we endure, especially when we endure it patiently, builds up our characters, purifies our hearts, expands our souls, and makes us more tender and charitable, more worthy to be called the children of God . . . and it is through sorrow and suffering, toil and tribulation, that we gain the education that we come here to acquire and which will make us more like our Father and Mother in heaven"--Orson F. Whitney, in Kimball, Faith Precedes the Miracle, 98

We'll be praying for you and Cory! And when we move back there in April, I will come and personally kick his behind if necessary :) We love you!
I wanted to let you know that when I was there last month and youwere teaching RS and shared the story of Pres. Gertsch telling you that just because you CAN do something doesn't always mean that you should do it, that really touched me. There was something that I had been contemplating doing, and I knew then that it wasn't the right time to take on that task. Anyway, thank you for being a great teacher and friend to me all these years.
Let us know what we can do. Dan and I will also be praying for your family and Cory... if he needs a second butt kicking, we can do that too! Hang in there you guys are so wonderful! We love you!
Be strong!If you need reassuring call me! We moms have to stick together.
