Hmmm...

Well, as you can see, nothing too exciting is happening here in Louisville. Nancy and I are trying to keep busy working on our cook books and so far they are turning out pretty good. It's always crazy how you end up wishing you had what you don't. (For example, I wish I had Nancy's hand writing and someone else's curly hair...) But, we're chugging right along with those. I am currently reading The Good Earth (thanks for the recommendation Mom! It's great so far!) and the sixth Harry Potter. I have also made a discovery this summer that I thought I would let you all know about. When I flew back for Kara's wedding Nancy and I went to the distribution center to get a few things and I decided to pick up the teacher's manual for the Book of Mormon. I have been using it in my scripture study ever since and have gained a lot from studying with it. (I think it's because I have a short attention span and it keeps me focused.) but I've found that events make much more sense, certain verses are much better explained, and I really look forward to reading now. So any of you who have a hard time making it through a few verses without your mind wandering like I do should definitely check out this new study habit. If any of you know any other good study guides, I'd love to hear about them! I still can't quite make it through Isaiah...

You should read "The Hospital by the River" next. It's so good and will make you feel very blessed to live where we do and will inspire you to be better and do better. (That's a "you" meaning all of us!)

Sounds like you guys are having fun. You'll have to show us what your cookbooks look like. That sounds like a fun project. And it's definitely something that's good to have. Keep on posting. It's fun to hear from you guys!

Sorry, I rarely post on your blog, I guess I figure since we are together most the day I feel like I know what is going on. But blogging brings out the best thoughts in all of us and it's fun to see what people will type that they usually won't say to people. Great job on the scripture study!
