Love You!

We are currently listening to President Hinckley's interview with Larry King Live. How grateful i am for a prophet who is forthright, honest and does not hesitate to express our beliefs. "It's wonderful to be a Mormon. ..don't dwell on the negative, dwell on the positive..."

We had a wonderful Christmas, although i missed all of us together... but i know that each of you have your own lives and i feel your loving spirits and that is brings volumns of comfort when you aren't around.

Bryson called me today and kept repeating the same words... and i couldn't understand what he was saying. He was getting really frustrated until i heard Uncle Peter in the background laughing. Bryson was saying "i'm farting". Thanks Peter, i'm sure Noelle is excited that Bryson is increasing his vocabulary. Although Josh learned a new word too... the korean version- he thought that was rather amusing.

"...no greater satisfaction than the satisfaction of your family." "i'm an optimist." "accept facts as they are..." President Hinckley.

It's no wonder that you kids are optimistic and believe in the future, yourself, and each other. It's a belief that we share.

Josh and Dad spoke at sacrament today. They both had wonderful thoughts and the spirit was high as usual. Sister Rowlette said that Josh may take Sherman's place... Sherman needs to come visit her.

America ..."is getting fat..." (that's awesome)! But dad lost 5 pounds so far.

Thanks for a terrific 2004 and i look forward to a great year in 2005 with hope and faith on peace around the world and the economy will continue to recover. Lots of love to all of you.
