Happy Birthday LH

I have this really great uncle named LH, his real name is Louis Henry but no one ever calls him that. Today is his birthday he is 70hmmmmm. I called him early and they were already out and about. That's what kind of a guy he is. He is always doing something, building, cleaning, serving, creating and a ton of other things. He worked for my Dad for many years and was a loyal, trusted employee, and a great friend to my Dad. He had quite a mind, like my Dad's for numbers, and could add quickly in his head and retain those figures forever, it seemed like. He and Aunt Jean have been bright spots to our family for many years. They were the first in our family to adopt children. They have two. Their children are just like any ones you get of your own sometimes great and sometimes trials, but you love them anyway. Because of their example I didn't have any problems adopting my four. Thank you for a great example. My Aunt Jean is the very best cook and Uncle LH is the best consumer of her great cooking. My own son is one who appreciates her cooking. They have kind of adopted him or visa-versa, which is a great blessing as he needed a man who he could look up to and emulate, and Uncle LH is one of the best. My family gave him a birthday party, and I wish I could have been there. One thing about Uncle LH and Aunt Jean is they don't stay around too long, so visit them quickly while they are around. I love them both very much.
The condo is coming along well. WE are in and it has been 3 nights there. I am sleeping well. Its not unusual for me to sleep well, I just have to be quiet for a moment or two and I'm out. Marissa and Mason have had a more difficult time adjusting to their new bed, they bought a memory foam mattress to put on top of the king. I sure miss them, but I will adjust.
Today in mission devotional we had my favorite scripture 1 Nephi 3:7 I will add the previous verse.
6. Therefore go, my son, and thou shalt be favored of the Lord, because thou hast not MURMURED.
7. And it came to pass that I Nephi, said unto my father: I will go and do the things which the Lord,hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them.
