Letter July 10 2016

Caleb and Jacob:

This week has flown by.  I've been traveling to SLC to deal with a sales tax audit with one of my clients.  The state is proposing an unfavorable 2M adjustment (2M additional in taxes due).  That's when I earn my keep.  It looks like the structure I'm proposing is going to reduce their tax to 100K or so...  i'm their hero if I can get that done.

Mom continues to be laser focused on the yard and it's starting to take shape.  I help where I can and bike when I can...

Speaking of biking, this week we started on a little Spring Hollow ride.  When we got to the rock garden we thought we'd go a little further.  After the rock garden it really gets steep and unrideable.  I remembered coming down Spring Hollow a few years back and thought that if we marched forward, the trail would become rideable again.  One thing led to another and 4K feet in elevation later, we crested near Logan Peak road.  Even though I was tired, it got me thinking that our testimonies are like my biking.  In the spring when I'm not in great shape, it's no fun to make such a climb but after I've gotten in shape, the climb isn't bad.  In fact, the views are incredible and the enjoyment sublime.

Right now you're "exercising" your testimonies and as a result you are able to feel the spirit and enjoy his companionship.  It makes a compelling case to continue to study and attend church for the rest of your life.  I hope you are each strengthening your own conviction of the truthfulness of the gospel and such that you are laying a base for the rest of your life.

Take care and have a great week.

Dad
