LIVE LIKE YOU BELIEVE
For my husband, my children(in law), my grandchildren and my posterity: Hold on to what you've been taught in the gospel. The lessons you've heard from teachers. The conversations you've had with your parents, brothers, grandparents, extended family and friends and co workers. This life isn't easy. It's hard to imagine in the pre-existence we agreed to the trials that would come upon us, but we did. Many blessing await us if we only live like this song says and HOLD ON ! You are loved. We are all loved. Love one another.

PIne Cones
What are pine cones good for? Tossing back and forth with your favorite neighbor. Rauschs' backyard and our backyard face eachother. Up until about a year ago, they had a ponderosa pine tree by the back fence. Barbara started throwing pine cones over the fence and the boys would pick them up and throw them back. Almost 14 years later and even though the tree isn't there anymore some pine cones still remain and last Sunday I caught little sauce (Nate) and crazee sauce (Matt) throwing pine cones back and forth over the fence, to Philip. So now you know just want pine cones are good for. Love you Philip and Barbara. Thanks for the memories.

Make a Difference
Had a very nice weekend. Friday we got up very early and left the house at 5:10 am. Gladeeh spent the night here so we could just take off and be on our way. We headed to Navajo Mountain first, then went to Chinle, then Lukachukai and finally Westwater. 1200 miles later. We got back home around 11:00 pm Sunday night after dropping Gladeeh off at her home. Met and mingled with some wonderful people. 2 missionary couples serving in Chinle whom just happen to be the parents of Dave Sutherland across the street and Courtney (Tami) Rogers a block away in the culdasac. Visited with Tamara who is married now and has 2 little ones. The first child is from a rape. Hearts and Hands built her a home in Chinle 4 years ago, although she is not living in it now. Sad situation. Visited with Trisha Shorty and her children. Hearts and Hands built a home for her in Chinle 2 years ago and a year ago she was baptized. She is having her trials. We took her to the grocery store and Hearts and Hands payed for some groceries for her and her family. She will be graduating in carpentry this May. Took Gladeeh over to Lukachukai the next day. Spent an hour visiting with her brother Ralph and his wife. Talked about plants and gardening and concern over how many youth on the reservation are committing suicide. That night Andy showed me some breathtaking views of Canyon de Shelley (Shay) Sunday we went back to Lukachukai and met up with Gladeeh. She had spent some time with 2 of her sisters and her granddaughters. It was hard for her to leave. She wants to move back. We visited Julia's home. She wants and addition. And took pics of her house and the house behind her that desperately needs to be torn down and have a new one built. A grandmother and her grandson and his pregnant girlfriend live in it. Hopefully with enough donations and volunteers we can make a difference. That's what it's all bout, isn't it. Went to Westwater on the way home that day and visited with Jesse. She's 86 and a sweet navajo woman. She's not living in her home yet, but wants to move in this summer. She has a wonderful caretaker looking out for her. Lots to do in this world to help others out. Afterall isn't that what it's all about?
