When Technology doesn't work from one source, try another!

My Mom and Grandma and some of my other sweet loved ones had a hard time seeing these pictures sent from my email! These aren't the best photos...because I am saving the surprise to give you later! But they still warm my heart to see my sweet Boys!

So I have posted them here!

We leave Council Bluffs, IA today. Thad has enjoyed his 2 month rotation here. We've learned a lot. It's really been a test for Thad. He has worked with some people with different attitudes and it has helped him to see what he desires for a work environment.

I have especially learned the truth that Home is where you and your family are. No matter where we are, if Thad and Peter are there, I can love it. But I do understand the council given by Prophets today to create a spiritual atmosphere in your home. Here in Council Bluffs we don't have any pictures of the Savior or of Temples or of Family on the walls. I love the spirit those add in our Sioux Falls Home. But we did have the Mormon Channel, or Devotionals or something spiritual playing all day. And we have church DVD's on the table that have pictures on them. But oh how important it is to create an environment that even just looking upon helps you feel the spirit. I love being a woman, a wife and a mother! I know that it is my responsibility to create and mold our home as a Heaven on Earth. And if you just look at Peter's smile, you'll see why I feel like I'm in Heaven 24/7!

Life is absolutely wonderful. Wished you were here.
Love you!
Malinda (Thad and Petey!)
