we have made it to mass., and we have been blessed and surprised beyond our dreams. just when things don't seem like they are going to work out, they do. little tender mercies here and there. i could not be more grateful for the gospel, it has made this transition nearly painless for our family.

the bishop and his family have graciously housed us, as we are homeless until next monday. they are amazing people, with huge hearts and true Christ-like attitudes.

this experience has been an example of how sometimes we think we have it all figured out and then the Lord has different ideas and plans. plans and ideas that are better than we could have come up with on our own.

someday i will go into more detail, but for now just know that we truly are loved by our Heavenly Father, and even though things are tough, they always work out. this is been one of my greatest tests, one that i have had little control over the details of, only leaving me in control of what i can learn, how i can react and how my attitude can be toward hardships and change.

on a lighter note... the east coast feels like a different country sometimes

how are all of you? comment and let me know.... i need to be filled in!
