True, enduring happiness, with the accompanying strength, courage, and capacity to overcome the greatest difficulties, will come as you center your life in Jesus Christ. Obedience to His teachings provides a secure ascent in the journey of life. That takes effort. While there is no guarantee of overnight results, there is the assurance that, in the Lord's time, solutions will come, peace will prevail, and happiness will be yours."

Enjoying a Great Easter
What a great weekend with Easter and General Conference at the same time. A nice time to relax and think about all that God and His Son Jesus Christ have done for us. How blessed we are to know the plan of salvation and know what our responsibilities are in His kingdom.
To back up a few days since I have not posted lately. Paige had Spring break from law school so she arrived a week ago Friday night to visit until Wednesday when she left for Utah for her mission reunion and General Conference. It was fun having her here even if for only a few days. We have also enjoyed time with grandchildren. First Cenneidigh spent a day and night with us. Then Qatar and Zeke spent a day and night and then JT spent a day and a night. They all want to stay everyday and night so it is a challenge to keep them happy.
Then after the last session of General Conference this afternoon we had a family Easter Dinner at Eric and Vanessa's. Lisa and David provided a delicious leg of lamb which reminded us of all the great lamb we enjoyed in Iceland. Nice to be able to enjoy it here too.
How blessed we are to have family to enjoy these special times listening to our Prophet and other leaders and to remember the atonement and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The begining of our happiness - front row: Paige, Heidi, Lisa, Amanda, Kristi; back row: Randy, Rick, Eileen, Steven. We started with 7 children and have now added 6 spouses and 25 grandchildren - the Joy and Happiness just multiplies!
