Well, I don't have any pictures to post right now but thought I would write about the spirit that I felt today. Being in the Stake Young Women's we have had to attend all of the ward conferences throughout the stake. Our stake building is about a 2 hour drive from McCall. It goes further south than that (by the Oregon border) and farther north up to Riggins, Idaho. We do a lot of traveling. Today we had two wards to visit. The spirit was strong as we were advised to do something for ourselves this year. Our stake president used the talk that Elder Euchdorf gave about "creating". We are challenged to create something beautiful and possibly learn a new talent. (maybe we can finish the house.....that would be a great creation if it happened) Ha Ha! But it was truly a wonderful day! I love Sundays! Diane kept Grandma for the weekend as I had a YCL overnighter here on Friday. (Youth Camp Leaders) Dana just happens to be the stake camp director (which I had nothing to do in getting her called) She is AMAZING!!! The whole weekend was hectic and busy and wonderful.

Grandma is having a hard time getting around. She forgets where she is a lot. Every night she asks where she is sleeping and most of the time she wants to call her family to tell them where she is. I pray for courage, patience, love, energy, etc, etc, to take care of her. I am so grateful to have a sister to help share responsibility for her.

I will try to post pictures later of some of the happenings going on. I mostly just forget to take pictures. Poor me!!

Life is good though and it will get better. I am just so grateful every day to be born in America and have the beauty of the mountains surrounding us.
