Jess went to church with Lilly and I stayed home with Sarah and Gus. Jess enjoyed church and she was able to bear her testimony about how she knew that God is very involved in our lives. He know what we are going through and he wants to help. I was reading the introduction page of the Book of Mormon yesterday, and a phrase stuck out at me. It said that Book of Mormon is to help people find peace in this life and Salvation in the life to come. I was reminding of a quote from Emerson that says "That which we persist in doing becomes easier, not that the task itself has become easier, but that our ability to perform it has improved." God won't take away our trials or make life without hardship, but he will give us peace. That peace makes it easier to accomplish all of life's trials. Jess and I have sure felt that while we are going through this trial with Sarah. We also know that God sends angels to help buoy us up and help bring us peace. We know that angels are seen and unseen. Many of you have been God's angels through your service to our family. We are extremely grateful for all that has been done. We pray that God may return to you the thoughts and prayers that you have offered on our behalf as blessings and knowledge that God loves you too. Thank you for all that you have done for us.

Sunday and some thoughts
It was nice to be home on Sunday. All of the kids spent time playing with toys that they hadn't seen for a month. Gus's Cars toy that he got for his birthday was no longer making sounds. I decided to put on my fix it hat and got it working. One of the wires connecting the speakers had been pulled off. I had to get out my soldering iron and solder it back one. It has been years since I soldered anything. It wasn't pretty but it seemed to do the job.
