Update

I was reprimanded yesterday by Marissa for not updating my blog. I have been very busy here and haven't taken the time. An Update on Marissa, she has passed the time when the babies would have been at risk. They are both about five pounds now so if they come they will be fine. She has another bladder infection and is still in a lot of pain but she had been a valiant trooper trying to do the best to get these two babies here safely. In my opinion at risk to herself. Mason's Mom is here to help her and this is really good. I was wanting to take a leave of absence from the mission but she didn't want me to. Sometimes it is difficult to sit her at my desk knowing she needs me, it is a good thing I have been very busy with work. It is Friday and all of the directors are at the Motion Picture Studio (MPS)in Provo and so it is a bit quieter than usual.
On Tuesday of this week I was fortunate to go to a devotional with the young missionaries who work at the MPS studio. There are 12 young men and 2 couples who came to our office for a devotional with one of the General Authorities. He opened the meeting to questions from the missionaries. The young men were the focus of the meeting and they had plenty of questions for him. One of the questions was about all of the opposition the church is receiving from the California vote and were the brethren concerned. His answer was a simple quote from Joseph Smith "No unhallowed hand can stop the work..." There were many questions about marriage and the future. Elder ... Said that if you had a check list that was "Spiritual Arrogance" he said if they wanted the best wife, they had to be the best kind of husband and she would be attracted to them. Someone that was true to the faith and together the could honor the covenants and to be equally yoked spiritually. One of the young men said how do you help a companion who is unwilling to do the right things. Elder... said to pray for your companion, get outside of yourself, ask is it I, provide a worthy example and provide service, and to seek for spiritual gift of love. He gave some examples of the rocky beginning between him and his wife (she was there too!) and how you have to work to get on the same page. All in all it was a great experience.
Some time ago when I was helping Marissa one afternoon, Bruce dropped by and so did Ashley. On accident Ashley locked her keys and baby Benjamin in the vehicle. Bruce wisely told us to call 911, which we did and they were there within 5 minutes and all was well. Here are some photos to share with you. Hope you enjoy them. Don't give up on me, the blogging must go on. Ha! Ha! Ha!
Oh Rats! I can't get the disk to download the pic's. Will try later..
