Happy Birthday Mike! Have a good one.
Happy Easter (I ate a chocolate bunny too, just to let you know.) We had a lot of fun down here as well as a lot of rain. It rained all day and we happened to be out 10 kilometers in the mud! Church shoes are NOT built to walk in the mud. But we still had a lot of fun. The dirt here is a clayish red color and when it rains it converts to a super heavy sticky mud, that the buses don't even try to enter for the next 2 days (Yes it is that bad.) But that doesn't stop the missionaries.
We walked about a mile and a half in it. And really a lot of times that is exactly how our life is we see a reward at the end of the road. And we realize that the pain to get to that reward is worth crossing the mud. And that without crossing the mud we can never get there for ourselves. (And yes it was worth crossing the mud!)
Wow I can't wait to see the house. It sounds like you're all working hard to make it a really nice place. And that's exactly what God wants. I was reading the other day in a Liahona and a professor from Harvard said that the definition of vulgar is to do inferior things in a inferior way. I'll let you think about that. But when we are truly converted to the gospel we want to avoid vulgarness and idleness in any way. He said to stay in dirty cloths when the situation does not require it is vulgar. To speak in a way that does not express personal refinement is to be vulgar. We should always be improving ourselves and our surrounding as the circumstances permit.
Dani and Nancy are Fantastic! Pray for them!
