We Thank Thee...

President Hinckley's passing generated many emotions for our little family. On the one hand, we were sad to see "our" Prophet leave us. On the other, we were happy to see him finally pass on to be with his wife. We enjoyed spending last Monday's FHE reminiscing on President Hinckley: from waving the cane to rebuking the brethren. What a great man.

My dad sent me a link, included below, to Glenn Beck's tribute of Gordon B. Hinckley. I actually had seen this clip the very night it aired, but am grateful my dad sent the link because it is worth watching again and again. Glenn, a long time radio and tv voice, lived in PA during my mission years. I participated in the Messiah sing in with him and found him to be a no nonsense kind of guy who cherished his conversion to the Gospel. I've always appreciated his willingness to embrace and explain our faith on national television.

I hope you enjoy the clip.

The Johnsons have had a great break. We spent a lot of the time with family. Patten is getting bigger and chubbier by the day. Sadly, he is starting to loose some hair on his head...

Missy and Patten have a fun bond between them. Patten loves to talk to her.

Kristin decided to chop her hair off. She still hasn't decided whether she likes it or not.
Well that is all for now, I know it is rather short but there will be more later.
