Happy 38th Birthday on Sunday, 4 October, Vance!!!
 |
| Vance, Brady and Patty at Zion National Park |
What a wonderful day to
have a birthday!!
Three new apostles
chosen and called, and will speak to the world today:
Elders Ronald A. Rasband, Gary E. Stevenson
and Dale G. Renlund.
Enjoy your day.
Elder Robert D.
Hales gave such a wonderful talk in the
Saturday session. Your recent hike to
Zion National Park was brought to mind when he quoted, “…Ye shall offer to me a
broken heart and a contrite spirit. ..”, because the Spanish word for broken is
“quebrada”.
Many of the dividing lines
for boundaries of the wards are “quebradas” (or ravines) that divide the cerros
(hills). Besides the view of the bay, we
also see this “quebrada” from our balcony.
 |
| Zion is way more than a "quebrada" |
In our Stake, we have a
Quebrada Verde Ward. We think of you and
your engineering skills with water drainage as we observe these cerros and the
interesting problems they cause….
 |
| We need you down here!! |
Thanks for all the
building projects that have happened around your home and all the opportunities
it provides you to teach your sons.
It has been so fun also
to observe a view of a building project going on with the cranes and forms and
all just across the way from us. This
apartment building is called the Gran Vista.
They are now on the 17th floor.

Keep
up the good work on those projects (and your sons!!).
Example
is so key. A Seventy, Bradley D. Foster, used the scripture: “…but what He seeth the Father do.”
Brother
Foster also said,
“Today
the world fights for our children’s identity and mind.”
It’s
never too early and never too late –
Say
to your children, “I’ve been where you are; and I know what comes next; and I
will help you through it.”
As
President Russell M. Nelson said, ‘We
must be engaged in intentional parenting’.”
What
a challenging time to be a parent and member of the Church!!!
Grandpa Gibson’s sister,
Auntie Gwen, will have her 93rd Birthday on the 9th of
October.

And then sister, Shirley, then Robert.
Later, Carol Jean, the last of the family, was born when Grandpa was 17.
What
a wonderful General Conference….
