Hurah Luke

Tonight Luke was not only awarded a letter for Swimming, but by popular vote was given a plaque for "Most Inspirational Swimmer" It was commented that he would often jog to and from swimming and whenever John Rozikawas at the pool, he would find Luke swimming. Then a team member spoke up and told about a time that a bus came late to the Tualatin pool, so Luke ran 7 miles home and beat the bus.

EYES OF A CHILD

Lindsey- Through The Eyes of a Child

At eighteen months Lindsey sees what others miss. Her eyes are clear and bright. She looks at you with intent and at times it seems that she sees into your heart and your soul. It doesn’t matter that your old and wrinkled, your hair has thinned or misshapen. She doesn’t focus on your weight or even your clothes. She looks directly into your eyes and without saying a word she communicates that you matter. Does a child have or understand love? I don’t know, but if it doesn’t then it has something even better. Is she here for us to teach? Or perhaps, having recently come from God she brings a message that supper cedes the cares and doubts of this world, a message from her Father in Heaven. She brings a message of hope and of joy and of peace. She brings a message of purpose and a message of renewing. Like an opening flower at springtime, a glance from her eyes fills us with awe. Perhaps the time will be short and she will move into the world of man and leave the world of angels but for now there is an angel among us. In the future more angels will come and I hope to be able to see if but for a short time through the eyes of a child like Lindsey.

Heidi came home and we played games, watched movies, bowled and just enjoyed being together. Heidi, it felt good having you home and we are proud of all you are doing.

5:00 am this morning we waved good bye to David, Melissa, Caleb, Hyrum, Ammon, and Ruth who are on a plane returning home. What a delight it was to watch Hyrum jam on the Guitar Hero, Caleb shoot pool with Larry, Ammon find Lucy in the cupboard (hide and seek), and sing songs to Ruth cuddled on my lap while she stared at me with eyes that said, "Are you koo Koo or what?" Then Sunday we were priviliged to watch Caleb go up to the pulpit and bare his testimony for his first time in Sacrament meeting strait from his heart. David and Melissa, you know where your treasures lie and they are so lucy to have you.
