Hungry?

With each new school year comes a new flock of hungry college freshmen who are craving for Institute.




Craving you say? Weren’t most of these freshmen fast asleep in some early morning seminary class just last year?

Did not at least some of them display an unspoken lack of desire about scripture learning to even the best seminary teacher?


You are probably right on all accounts.

But, all that half-asleep learning did not go to waste.

Not so. Many of them now express they actually miss the daily contact provided by early morning seminary.

It is out of this sense of a daily spiritual needs that brings many of them out of hibernation and into institute.



So, hungry for more scripture-based learning they come. Some of them even sign up for two or more institute classes at a time.

And we stand at the ready:



And hungry they come:


And grateful are we that they do!

Oh, and if you didn’t catch on. We spent part of our P-day at the Woodland Park Zoo today!

It was very nice. But we have to say – Oh how going to the zoo without our kids for the first time REALLY, REALLY makes you miss your kids!
So we are just a little kid-sick but it’s much more manageable than probably the Swine flu. And what are we to do anyway?

Our kids are all exactly where the Lord needs them to be. And we are where we are supposed to be.

Life remains good despite some good challenges. Conference was just amazing! Isn’t the gospel great!

Best of the best to you!
