    Richard is doing an amazing job working with these boys. Recently, all of the deacons completed their requirements for Duty to God. The incentive? Doughnuts.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Our tree erupted into masses of blossoms, its boughs weighed down\u00a0in heroic\u00a0efforts to be lovely. Seriously, we have never seen such blossoms on our magnificent tree.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Mark is our only baseball player this season, and from now on. If the pitch is good you can count on him to get a hit.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    This is the ONLY quilting I have had time to do in a\u00a0month, but this English Paper piecing project was mostly done by hand, while watching Fixer Upper on Netflix.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Paige moved out of the dorms and into a little apartment on University Avenue owned by my parents. She is attending school this summer. Over the past few weeks we learned that she received a full scholarship and was accepted into two art programs. She declared her major to be Illustration. Sorry, Paige if I have this project oriented the wrong way. I love it in any direction.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    This is an old picture, but Daniel is elusive. Busy with a new job as a clerk at Geneva Rock, playing piano, and studying for an AP test,\u00a0he has many interesting conversations with friends\u00a0about Prom coming up in a few weeks.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

    Photo by Janine Clarke. When I looked at this picture of our Relief Society choir, the first thought was, a stranger would never guess that the little woman with the messy ponytail on the back row is serving as the Relief Society president. I don’t look presidential. I am young. When I sang in this choir I trembled and thought I was going to fall over from fright. See how weak I am? My calling is hard. I hear sad things and the hardest thing is that I want to run to people all the time, but I can’t and shouldn’t. I am not the solution to anybody’s problems, but I do think I can point them to the real solutions in Christ. I do this with hugs, meals, visits, notes, teaching, and prayer. So much of what I do is on my own, but my counselors and secretary are the very best\u00a0and hold me up in countless ways, whether it’s encouraging words, powdered sugar late at night, driving, taking over when I am too busy with family emergencies, and teaching me. They also make me laugh.\u00a0I didn’t know them when I asked for them to be in my presidency, but my Father in Heaven knew I needed them.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n
