Hello everybody!    Next Sunday will be Christmas Day!! Aimee, James and the kids will be here!! Today is Heidi's and Kevin's anniversary!! Happy anniversary, you two!    Dad and I had a nice anniversary weekend. Driving down to SLC on the 17th, it was fun to remember making the same drive 39 years ago, the day after we were married. We spent our first night in Idaho Falls at the ???, I can't remember the name...it's still there, but it's no longer the nicest, or the newest hotel, like it was then. In Salt Lake, we stayed at the Travel Lodge for one night, but the place smelled bad and we found a place with some cute little cabins and were very happy with there. We didn't realize it at the time, but we left Dad's bathrobe on the back of the bathroom door at the hotel in Idaho Falls. By the time we realized it and contacted them, they had given it to charity.

Hi guys,  I have been wanting to find pictures to share with you all of the finished building we worked on in France. (almost 2 years ago now)  The link below is for a French website but your browser should give you an option to translate. Scroll down to the slide show. Fun to see something that I was able to be a part of.  http://www.loom.archi/projets/ culture/projets_culture/laigne -en-belin.html Wow, it's so beautiful! Even more than what I remember from the pictures you took. And the translation is cool! Is that you in one of the pictures...#6 I think? It kind of looks like you...walking away. Thanks so much for sharing this! Mom

Hello all you nice people!    I hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving. Some had to work and some weren't where they had originally planned to be, but hopefully we were all able to feel grateful for how very fortunate we are.    Thank you, Ben and Aimee, for your letters this week! Aimee, I'm so glad you're feeling better and I'm grateful you have good neighbors and friends to do things I'd like to be able to do for you. Your family has been so busy...it's nice to here some of what goes on! It sounds like you will be a big support to the rest of the Primary presidency; it is kind of nice to have had some experience though.    Ben, we will all be living vicariously through you once again as you go on this next work trip. We will be thinking of and praying for you. What a neat opportunity and responsibility!    Had a nice long talk with Sam and Maddie yesterday...thanks for the call! :)    Just a day by day synopsis of Gran's ...
