My Heroes!

On Saturday Nathan and Emily ran the Salt Lake City 1/2 Marathon. This was Nate's first race and Emily's third. Nathan finished the race in 1hour and 35 min. which put him second in his age division. The sad thing was that for some unknown reason his timing chip didn't register when he crossed the finish line, so he got jipped out of his additional medal. :( We know what a champion you are Nathan and that's all that matters! Emily also did great, she finished 20th out of 350 women runners in her age category. We are very proud of you both!
Watching runners come across the finish line at these races is so inspirational. It is amazing to me the range of ages and body types. You watch them go by and can't help but know that there is a story behind every single one of them and their desire to run. It's awesome!
In June our stake is hosting a 5K run, maybe I'll start with that. Hmmmm

An Apostle's Easter Thoughts on Christ

I add my testimony to that of Elder Holland, that He lives! That He suffered and died for me so I can be forgiven of my sins. He knows me and loves me! What a blessing and comfort this is in my life.
