Bruce and I got to see Josh in concert with the King's Singers.
It was awesome! It was a huge production. I think the only thing that could have beat it would have been to be at the Mormon Tabernacle Choir Concert in the Conference Center. We are getting closer to Zion!
Our truck batteries have both died, so now we have to jump start the truck every time. And no money for another week to replace them. Ah, the joys of having one car.
Libby went and took a shower on her own without being asked. Starch my shorts, what is going on in this family?!
Mary had a fantastic missionary experience yesterday with Alexis, a non-member friend from Madrigals. Mary asked her to be in a group that is singing the musical number at the Morningside for Seminary on Dec 12th. She said yes. The practices have brought her to our house, and she and another boy from Mads, Connor, talked to Alexis for over three hours about the gospel. It was randomly brought up, but she started asking questions, and it went from there. She said that when she comes to our house she feels light, and Connor said the same thing. If that isn't the coolest feeling in the world, I don't know what is. I am SO grateful for that protection and light that surrounds us. She did end up giving her a Book of Mormon, and she has already started to read it. It was really a fantastic experience!
I have been praying and thinking about the Russian people this week. The ruble, which is the Russian currency, fell by 50% this week. It wouldn't be so critical except for the fact that Russia imports so much that now they're buying power is cut in half and they won't be able to import nearly as much with the same amount of money. Putin got on public radio and announced to the people to prepare for hard times. They are already having hard times, as most of them are only surviving anyway.
Jesse's Sophomore Recital is the 13th of March!
I'm so grateful for that. It'll be amazing. She has the whole Madsen Recital Hall to herself. She asked her Bishop today to open up the process for her mission papers! Holy makarel! It gave me a strange feeling when she told us that tonight. It's one thing for you boys to go. Entirely different to have her go. Not sure why. :)

We
got a ride over with Aunt Michelle's two sisters, Tamara and
Kirsten, and then we got a ride back with Laren, Caralee, Devin and
Ashley. It was SO fun to catch up with them! They are great people.
They have abundance flowing to them all the time. It is amazing to see
what they attract. Good, good people.

Peter has been singing to himself the songs from the Nashville Tribute Band concert we went to a few weeks ago. Today he sang some
words that talked about Jesus, "And He healed me..." We also listen to the songs every morning on the way to the bus.
