HAPPY SPRING

I LOVE SPRING WITH ALL ITS SIGNS OF HOPE AND JOY!
Hope YOU ALL FIND JOY IN THE FLOWERS, BIRDS ,THESMELL OF ALL THE FLOWERS AND BUSHES. I HAVE SOME HEATHER AND IT HASN'T STARTED TO BLOOM BUT IT IS SO GREAT TO SMELL.
I AM SO EXCITED ABOUT CONFERENCE AND PRESIDENT MONSON AND TO HEAR WHAT HE HAS TO SAY.
WHEN I WAS HERE ON MY MISSION HE WAS TO BE OUR SPEAKER FOR CHRISTMAS DINNER. HE WAS FORTY-FIVE MINUET ES LATE AND HE LOOKED EXHAUSTED AND ILL AND HE APOLOGIZED FOR BEING LATE AND SAID SOMEONE HAD CALLED HIM AND WAS SUICIDAL SO HE HAD TO DEAL WITH THAT PERSON.
when THE EVENING WAS OVER ALL THE PEOPLE STARTED PUSHING TO GE UP TO GREAT HIM AND ONE OF MY FRIENDS WAS REALLY PUSH AND SAID "oh! COME ON UP AND i"LL INTRODUCE YOU". HE LOOKED SO TIRED i JUST COULD NOT IMPOSE ON HIM AND SO i SAID NO AND TURNED AWAY AND WENT ON OUT INTO THE HALL MYSELF AND STARTED TO LEAVE
PRESIDENT MONSON PUSHED THUR THE CROWD AND LAID HIS HAND ON MY RIGHT SHOULDER AND SAID "SISTER , THE SEALING YOU ARE CONCERNED ABOUT IS GOING TO BE ALRIGHT. " THE FEELING OF POWER AND JOY .OF BEING BLESSED IS OVER WHELMING EVEN TO THIS DAY.
SUCH PEACE AND JOY AND SENSE OF WELL BEING WAS BEYOND WORDS. I DO HAVE A TESTIMONY OF HIM. REMEMBER SAT MEETINGS TOO. HAPPY EASTER SPRING AND HOPE ALL JELLY BEAN DAYS

I am excited and curious about conference this year, too. It will be very strange. I have been praying and wishing (sometimes I get the two confused) that we could afford a new satellite dish so that we could watch conference instead of just listen to it on BYU radio, but it doesn't look like that will happen.

Maybe by October conference. We try to watch on the computer, but it is so choppy, you really can't get anything spiritual out of it.

It is so wonderful to have spring on the way. We are in our warm, then cold, then snow, then warm again season. It is so wonderful to be able to stand out on the decks on the warm days, barefoot, and enjoy the fresh air.

Now that the kids have put in our wood stove, the house is warm and toasty all the time and we can have the doors and windows open for fresh air, and still be warm. It is GREAT. One of the things that we really missed from our house in Joseph.

Meant to call you last week, but on my new meds, I have about a 2 minute attention span. Love you, Char
