Hi everyone,
It is a beautiful fall day in Pocatello. It has been kind of rainy the last few days, and there are lots of leaves on the ground. It is cool, but not really cold yet. Anyway, we are doing fine here at home. Dad continues to work on the crib. Things are getting busier at the office. Grandma and Grandpa left Friday, and Gerald and Scott drove them down and cleaned everything that needed to be cleaned up inside and out down there. Grandma and Grandpa are blissfully happy, back with their friends. Gerald retired officially last week. No more railroad. Did I tell you Gloria has uterine cancer, stage 2? Not good news for Connie. Andrew, Brooke's little boy is getting baptized I think the end of this month. He has been seeing the missionaries. Election day tomorrow. Yikes. I am praying already for whoever wins. We will miss most of the hype, since we will be at the temple. We are getting a new temple presidency tomorrow. It will be interesting to see those changes. The new president is from Pocatello.
I wanted to send all of you a link to this talk I heard on KBYU. It is an excellent treatise (good word, huh?) on the importance of the family being defined as one man and one woman. Here is the link. Go to this page http://www.byub.org/devotionals/?selectedMonth=10&selectedYear=2008 and click on:

On the Moral Purposes of Law and Govenment

That is so perfect that you get to be at the temple when the election results start rolling in...lucky!! It is strange to me that I am feeling so much anxiety over the outcome of the election...it is only 4 years and in the grand scheme of things it won't really matter at all, right??
Oh, it will matter alright. I wish I was going to be at the temple tomorrow too! I am teaching 9-9 tomorrow and I am already anxious over it, just a few more weeks...
Well, I need to hop back into bed.
The election may matter to what we are all forced to experience over the coming years, but whatever the outcome, it will play into God's plan, and the righteous, though dismayed about the circumstances, will be protected. It won't be easy getting there, but the very best days are yet to come. I am confident that the Lord foresaw the present and pending state of our world, and composed his master plan to reconcile for it. I am also confident the the Lord loves and respects those righteous Saints who carry his cause through, and in spite of these difficult times. Regardless of who wins the election, the lines are drawn, and if we are on the right side of them, we need not fear.

Colby and Eva are having the time of their life looking at that picture of grandma and grandpa. Colby just said, "Grandma and Grandpa are far away. They come and see my house?"
