         Another day has rushed by and the week will soon be winding down—already!  A day trip brought people to the temple today and kept us all with work to do.  There is supposed to be a big group coming in the morning, which is good news.

         I know it is back-to-school time for everybody and I really miss that.  Even though it has been a long time since there were children at home for me to get ready for school, I still love the “season.”  Every year the ads, the talk, and the feeling in the air still create excitement in my day and I just have to buy a few notebooks, nice pens, a folder or two and whatever else strikes a nostalgic chord.  Electronics have changed everything, however, and I’m surely out of touch now.  Anyway, good luck with all the fun of getting kids back into school!

         Recognize your worth as individuals and remember that Heavenly Father knows who you are and has great expectations of you.  Listen for guidance, be positive about yourself and your accomplishments, read and study and then listen again for guidance.  Many answers to our questions and pleas have already been given to us and we just need to search them out.  They can be found in the scriptures and the words of the prophets.  They can be found in the peace that comes into our hearts and minds just as the Lord has explained.  (D&C 6:22-23)  “Did I not speak peace to your mind concerning the matter?  What greater witness can you have than from God?”

         Thanks for all of your love and prayers.  We feel them every day.

Good night--
