{BueNo... AwEsoMe And diFFicuLt Week!}
Dear Elders, How we love reading your letters! Your families are doing well and we are all much blessed.
Bob and I are reading a book about William Tyndale who translated the Bible from Latin to English. His story is remarkable. I was familiar with his name and the fact that he did the translation, but not with the amazing zeal and determination he had to use to accomplish the translation. The book is written by Michael Wilcox , who compares Tyndal’s story to that of Joseph Smith. William Tyndale was burned at the stake only because he wanted everyone (King to ploughboy) to have access to the Bible. I am amazed at the great sacrifices made for us. The book is titled, Fire in the Bones. When I read your letters I detect the same spirit in each of you. Thank you! Keep it up!
Last night I saw a documentary about Brazil. There are some BIG rodents in those forests.
We are still in winter---snow again today. Bob and I are well.
· Erin and John, with Marshall and Libby, are off today to California –Disneyland. It is a surprise to Libby.
· J.W. and Jessi came last week for supper and games.
· Lyssa has had an anaphylactic reaction to penicillin on Saturday. She was blessed to have a Dr. next door who ran to help her and she is fine now, but it was scary.
· BYU is doing great! Jimmer Freddette made 43 points in the win over San Diego and only 32 points in the loss to NM.
· U of U is doing a little better, but lost to Colorado State.
· The Jazz are spiraling downward.
· Leena is improving in her ability to speak. She will be 4 in June.
· I saw Dalton’s basketball game last week. He is becoming a very intense little player and has been in a growth spurt.
· Eliza’s basketball team is coached by Kent. They have won every game. I saw them play on Saturday and I can tell Eliza has been taught by her dad as when she jumps up to get the ball in a crowd she throws her elbows on the way down.
· Megan has been asked to Valentine Ball at Timpview. When I was at the house Ruthanne and Megan were choosing a dress for her to wear. David was astounded that she would “buy a dress just for ONE dance”.
I love you both more than I can say. You are such honorable young men. Thank you. Be safe. Be obedient. Brush your teeth. Love, Grammy
