Kjirsti & Tom

Our dear friends Mary and Steve are back in the States. Hurray!

I have less to report from the past week and a half. I was sick all last week, and I’m afraid it showed in the amount of work I got done. I had to smile yesterday realizing that I must be getting better because the idea of painting the stairwell walls sounded like a great…

Last week Tom and I were visiting the Arlington ward in Boston, MA. I left the meeting overwhelmingly inspired in several areas. First, with a desire to improve my rhetoric. There were several members of the ward that took keen awareness of how they placed their words, they didn’t reiterate, and their points were clear…

I love the idea of phases. Last year I was in a cooking phase. I often found myself perusing allrecipes.com and picking up food magazines as I waited to check out.

I finally got around to finishing this little chair of mine. I bought it a year ago, but alas I have just finished.          

As the percentage of single-mother homes rises I feel increasingly grateful for my father. I love and adore him. I admire his constancy in the gospel. There are few people that are as dedicated to learning about the gospel than my dad. I can thank him for my habits of scripture study. I remember vividly…
