It was snowing when we left for Church this morning. We're hopeful it will last and we'll get more moisture. Wayne felt like going to Sacrament meeting even though he still is in the stages of a cold. He was able to stand in the Priesthood circle as Savita Patel was confirmed a member of the Church. Carroll not only baptised Savita but also gave the confirmation blessing. Savita goes to the Gospel Essentials class and then comes to Relief Society. She seems so thrilled to be a member. She doesn't know the LDS songs but sings right along and with quiet gusto. The women in our ward are so friendly with Savita and each want to get to know her. I think Savita is amazed at how many people came to her baptism. The Stake Relief Society room was full. It is amazing how far she has come when she excepted Jesus Christ as her Savior. She did not even believe in Jesus Christ until she started having the missionary lessons.
Chance, Spencer and tomorrow Kylie are all sixteen years old and able to drive, legally. I think some did not get their drivers permit six months ago so have to wait until the six months are up until they can drive alone.
Lara, her little girl, Aubrey, and Karen were able to come up from the Valley to witness Savita's baptism. It was so nice to see them.
Lauren is home for a few days and will soon be going to the Valley to find work. She was unable to get the classes she needed at school in Flagstaff. She will be leaving to go to BYU Idaho college in April. She doesn't have long until she graduates.
Tonight I start Stake choir practice in preparation for Stake Conference. We are learning a new song "O, Light of Life" by Mack Wilberg. It is beautiful and I can't wait to see how it all turns out. I have a big choir. I'm pretty sure it will fill all the choir seats and maybe then some.

Sounds like things are going well in AZ. Today was a good Sabbath for us as well today. Scary those kids are already driving...I remember that day.
It is amazing that you have had more snow than us.
I am glad dad was feeling up to participating in Savita's confirmation. That is really wonderful to see someone accept the gospel. She is a very sweet woman, and I am sure it was a very happy day.
It is strange to have these kids turn 16. Camille and Amanda are not far behind them.
Hi grandma and papa hope you all are doing well. I sent pictures of little Jacob, you should be getting them today or tomorrow.
Hope you have a great week. Jacob and I are leaving to Canada 5 days we will be posting pictures from there.
Take care
xoxo
