Another week is in the books... This was a fun week with the family. We decided to take a late fall trip to Lake Powell, gambling that the weather would hold. Hold it did and so fun was had by all.
Lake Powell is a beautiful place. This year we decided to venture further than Warm Creek Bay and so spent our time mainly in Padre Bay. What a place. There is something spiritual about the red sandstone formations that causes me to contemplate life and my own small place in the universe. I told Mom that the more I'm at Lake Powell, the more I love being there.
With the family on the move, we listened to what we could get from conference on the internet which wasn't much. Once we hit I-15 I was able to listen to three sessions of conference back-to-back. I was quite interested in Elder Oaks as he talked about the Proclamation on Family and the revelatory process that was employed by the Quorum of the Twelve in its creation. It sounds like it took a lot of time to get right. Compare that to Joseph Smith as he translated the Book of Mormon; it was basically one time through before completion. The Prophet was amazing and his ability to tap into revelation even more so.
One more comment on your letters. It is wonderful to get your letters each week and read them every Monday night as a family. The kids all act like it's no big deal but I know your letters are having an influence for good on our family. Thank you.
I love you both. Keep up the good work.
Dad
