She's Off!

Tennyson, Banner and I were able to talk to Whitney for about 40 minutes on Sunday night. She called us from the Salt Lake airport. She sounded excited but nervous. I haven't heard from her since but I assume she arrived as scheduled. Her Dad has already had a dream about her being kidnapped by revolutionaries(are there any in Honduras?). As soon as we hear from her we will let you know.

Pouch Address

All the information for writing to Whitney is posted on her blog. We found that Dearelder is not reliable, use it at your own risk. Pouch and email will work the best though I have no idea how often she'll get to access her email or how often the pouch mail is delivered. I know that she loves to hear from each of you. Thanks for your love and support.

New Baby

Cousin Lucy had her baby yesterday, February 22. He weighed 8 pounds and 3 ounces. They are both doing well. No name yet.

Death Threats?

On Tuesday morning Jim opened his email to find that someone had sent him a death threat. They said they had been watching him and knew all of his movements and activities. There was a hit ordered for him if he did not pay $15,000.00 by 7:00 pm that night. If he contacted the police his family would be killed. Of course the first thing he did was call the local sheriff's office,
They of course contacted the FBI. The FBI took it seriously and traced the email to

Pakistan. They are all assuming it was a scam. It must've been. We're all here, alive and well!

ALL THAT JAZZ

We are just loving the Jazz. They are doing so well. It's thrilling to watch them play. Hope you're all enjoying them also.

Oh What Do You Do In The Summertime?

I just received a brochure about the 2008 Shakespearean Festival. They have a wonderful selection of plays this year. They are: Cyrano de Bergerac, Othello, Two Gentlemen of Verona, Fiddler on the Roof, Taming of the Shrew and School for Wives. I hope we can all plan ahead so we'll be able to go together this year.

Happy Valentine's Day

Banner's New Calling

We were privileged to see Banner be set apart as 2nd Counselor in the Beehive Presidency today. She didn't even tell us she'd been called. I found out from the Young Women's President when she invited us to be there for the setting apart. It was a beautiful blessing. Hopefully she will receive many more opportunities to serve throughout her life.
