Alma 7:12

"And he will take upon him death, that he may loose the bands of death which bind his people; and he will take upon him their infirmities, that his bowels may be filled with mercy, according to the flesh, that he may know according to the flesh how to succor his people according to their infirmities."

Today was a day of celebration

Three of my favorite people in the world.

Colee and her parents Nancy and Kyle Tolman

at Colee's graduation from ASU.  She now

officially has her teaching degree!

She will be an awesome teacher!!

 James's dad's 87th birthday would

have been today.  I have learned

to appreciate his goodnes and forgive 

him for the mistakes he made.

Randa Covert (on the left) and her

sister-in-law.  Randa is our sweet

Beehive advisor.  She turned 23 today.

 Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton at their

wedding three years ago.

I have become somewhat of a Blake Shelton

fan since watching "The Voice."

I learned some interesting things at Mutual tonight not only about the young women but about Diana and Analee.  Here are some things I learned:

Diana was a distance runner and almost always took either first, second, or third place.  She was also a fast pitch softball pitcher on an all-star team.  Wow!  I never would have guessed.  Dynamite comes in small packages.

Analee and her husband served a service mission in Argentina to build church building during the early 60's.  Analee was 7 months pregnant when they arrived to the surprise of their church leaders.

We had a mini-miracle this evening.  We couldn't get a DVD to work so Coty Iannoli suggested we say a prayer.  Coty offered the prayer and then she and Randa Covert got the DVD to work.

I asked the girls what is a talent they would like to develop and here are the responses I got:

Shelly - learn to play the piano.

Jordyn - would like to learn to play the violin.

Coty - wants to learn a second language.

LeeAnn - wants to become a good public speaker.

Alice - wants to learn sign language.

Hope - wants to learn to play the guitar.

Heaven - wants to take piano lessons.

I love these young women and young women leaders!

I got some sweet texts from my hubby today!
