Today the most beautiful word to me is HOME. Our 17 yr. old run-away granddaughter returned safely HOME last night. Lieutenant Colonel Craig Patterson, the valiant son of my dearest friend of 40 years, recently returned HOME to his wife and four children after serving fifteen months in Iraq. Our grandson Daniel Branch, who is fighting a fearful battle with Cushing's Disease and complications, has once again returned HOME from the hospital. The other evening in St. George, Utah, Michael Ballam performed in concert and sang a stirring rendition of "Bring Him HOME" from "Les Miserables" after sharing with the audience that his son who has spina bifida was admitted to the hospital the night before. After an exemplary life of service, Larry Miller, owner of the Utah Jazz, returned HOME to his Heavenly Father.
The work in which Elder Smith and I are engaged at the Church Family History Library here in Salt Lake City is to help our Heavenly Father bring ALL his children HOME. How we pray that our homes can be filled with the eternal love of Jesus Christ.

I am so glad things are going well for you and that your family members are all safe and sound at home! I'm so thrilled that you and your husband can be serving a mission. How exciting for you!
What a wonderful posting. We love you and know you two are doing a wonderful job on your mission. Every day in the 'bush' is certainly interesting. The people are happy and their homes so sparse, but the gospel is true anywhere under any circumstances. God loves us all.
D&C 1:1 talks about the the saints here?! They were thought of from the beginning of the restoration.
