life in prison

It never ceases to amaze me that I find the women at prison so interesting and so resilent. One gal came to me apologizing that she had missed my financial lit. class, but it was her baby that was backed over and killed by her sister's 14 year old daughter. She had been in another head state to say the least, but she picked up her homework and got it done so she could get a completion in her financial literacy class. We are going crazy trying to get the last of their credits in to get them graduated from high school. Our graduation is June 4th.
Vynessa called and at her doctor's appt., they tell her that Franchesco is at least 7 lbs. now. We are both grateful that she is on FMLA next week and won't have to work. Her C section is scheduled for the 30th. The folks who own the house the Jensen's want to buy called, and it looks like they will send them a contract. Happy days!! They will be coming to visit in Utah middle June until their house is ready for them in Rexburg.

Especially For Youth

Took 3 girls from WestRidge to the EFY at the U of U institute center today. The 3 speakers were fabulous and so full of the Spirit. The main thing they tried to help the kids understand was that Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father loves them. I think I have just always taken that as a fact and at face value. I have just always felt His love even when I wasn't loving back. What a blessing that is. It is just so sad to think of those people who do not have that sort of comfort to know that we are loved by these two beings---one loved us so much that he gave up his son so that we could all return to them. One of the speakers was a lady who has summitted Mt Kilamengaro and Mt. Arat. She was really an inspiration. I would encourage all you Moms and Dads when you start having teenagers, to make sure they go to a couple of these. It is true that it really does take a village. And we need all the good people in the village to help inspire our children.
