Even with our busy lives and many other stories we could share, there is one that we are most thrilled about. This morning Addy attended the baptism of two students in her Primary class. The Bishop announced that the rumors were made official. Gilbert is getting a Temple!!! President Monson announced it on Friday, April 25th. He said, "It is my personal priority to make sure members of the Church have access to the blessings of the temple. It is here where members learn of their divine origin and destiny; where they are strengthened spiritually as individuals and as families. Temples are sanctuaries from the storms of life." There has not been an announcement made concerning location, but the rumor going around is that it will be on Greenfield and Pecos, just 3 miles away. Wherever it ends up, we are thrilled to have another House of the Lord in our area. It was also announced that a Temple will be built in the Gila Valley - near Safford and Thatcher.

Hey Addy, I spend too much time on blogs and not enough on emails, I will write back soon. I wanted to tell you of a blog I came across, I don't remember the wife's name but the husband's name is Ryan and they have a baby girl named Addy! Is that crazy or what.
