Happy Birthday Macy (and Becky coming up!!)

Dear Macy,  You are a cutie!!  We love to hear about all the fun things you are doing.

Macy's Adventures

 Your family is always doing fun things.  You have two neat sisters and a terrific brother.  What a lucky sweetheart.  Keep up all those sweet things that make us all marvel.

Being two is terrific – so have a terrific time being 2!!

Macy, when your Mom was two years old – her Dad would sometimes play the guitar and sing this song:

Where are you going, my little one, little one,

Where are you going, my baby, my own?

Turn around and you’re two,

Turn around and you’re four,

Turn around and you’re a young girl going out the door.

And your Mom would turn around and around – while he sang the words.

Then the second verse:

…Turn around and you’re tiny,

Turn around and you’re grown,

Turn around and you’re a young wife with babes of her own….

Becky when living at Ft. Ord, California 

Becky is two years old!

So, Happy Birthday to that gal that turned around and around and has babes of her own!  We always had the joke that I was at Mother’s Week at Ricks or at a Relief Society event on your birthday – but you survived.  You are a sweetheart too!!  Thanks for all you do for your family and for all of us.  Love you, Becky.  Have a great day on the 20^th.  

Lately, we have enjoyed watching the videos in Gospel Library in español.  You might enjoy this one:  Go into “Settings” choose “content Spanish” then “Videos” then “Bible Videos:  The Life of Jesus Christ” then choose: Dejad a los niños venir a mí.  Enjoy!!

3 Nephi 11:38…and become as a little child, or ye can in nowise inherit the kingdom of God.  (become…like children in obedience, truthfulness, trustfulness, purity, humility and faith.  Jesus the Christ by James E. Talmage, pg 359).

Our Zone Training was Tuesday of this week on “humility” and “virtue” from PMG.  The next day we had interviews with President.  Last Sunday, we enjoyed General Conference in English with the American Elders and Sisters of the Valparaíso Zone. Some who were “old” in the mission would head in to the chapel when the Spanish speakers were to speak. 

  

We had a wonderful Easter 2015.  And as President Uchtdorf said, “That first Easter Sunday was “…the day that changed everything!”

How grateful we are for that Great Atoning Sacrifice and for the Resurrection of Jesus Christ.  He lives!
