          Glade thought he would be extremely stiff and sore today after yesterday’s “play” but he didn’t fare too badly and walked off any stiffness early.  Having a week-end break was renewing and we were ready to return to our responsibilities in the temple today.

          We love seeing the families who come to be sealed together for the eternities.  The children are so precious and these experiences remind us anew of our purpose and why we are all here.

          Spanish flash cards are stacked up on my desk and as I go out the door each morning (or afternoon) to exercise, I grab a stack and practice as I walk.  There are also pages of brief phrases that get practice when there is time.  Maybe some of it will sink in and start making more sense.  I could really use more time each day to study.  

          We went to the Distribution Center here this morning and I found the August Ensign in English and scooped it right up.  I really miss having a hard copy; and even though I have read most of the August issue already on my kindle, I am reading it all again.  There is just something awesome about the touch of paper and how tangible it is.  Hope you are all reading these wonderful and inspiring magazines!  Love to you all!!
