Dear Hermanagoodexampo,

I took Anya to the temple on Friday to do an endowment session. We really enjoyed being there together. I was glad to be a part of her temple experience. After we got a donut. She had never had a croissanut. I have opened up a whole new world for her!

Nata and Dad went to Rexburg and then to Logan for college tours. And the winner is….. Rexburg! She felt great there. We are excited for her to have that experience. It feels like exactly what she needs.

Mason and Dad went to Washington DC to honor you and America. They had a lot of fun.

Alexa was honored by staying home and working. Baby Cinder. :)

I love you. I'm proud of you. Heavenly Father loves you!

Love,

Mom

(Appended notes) There are more treasures than one. Sometimes in life we're so focused on one thing that we think we need and want that we would settle for less than what God would give us. God is like let's refocus. The treasure is actually this. If you will trust me, you will have the treasure that will make you the happiest in the end. Set your sites higher. Action, effort, moving. It will be confirmed in the end. Sometimes the Lord wants us to take a commandment to completion before we see the blessing.
