December 28, 1921<br />
Dearest Jen,<br />
<br />
Ruth turned four today. I wish you could have been here to see her. She is absolutely precious. I often tell her stories about you. She reminds me so much of you, but she definitely has Ed's eyes. I wish you were here. Mother came for the birthday cake. We all miss you so much.<br />
<br />
I am trying not be be so stern with your little ones. I am afraid it is embedded in my nature. Leo is great with them both- so loving. <br />
<br />
I haven't heard from Ed, but he sent Ruthie daffodils. <br />
<br />
I often feel your presence near the children especially at night. I feel like you come to them in their dreams.<br />
<br />
I am doing so hard to be a good mom to them.<br />
<br />
xo, baby sister,<br />

Inspired by the Diary of Sarah Agnes Prine 1881-1901, Arizona Territories, "These is my Words"<br />
<br />
Dear Lord,<br />
I am afraid I have become proud and haughty and caught up in all the fame of my recent cougar kill. I pray thou will curb my cantankerous spirit, my swift tongue, and my worldly ways. Lest I forget again to keep your day holy and not kill-<br />
<br />
I think of my cousin Jimmy who lost his leg the day after Christmas. Perhaps, I too should take up jumping box cars on the rail. He died with his leg on. I wonder if the doc had taken the leg if Jimmy would've lived. I wonder if Jimmy ever killed a cougar?<br />
<br />
My mama says her daddy rode the range with lipstick on to keep his lips from burning. He wasn't much of a church going man, not sure he ever kept the Sabbath day.<br />
<br />
Then there was Thomas X. and all his little 'uns. They says my grandma Jennie was his favorite. Maybe hers name was the only one he could done remember-she being the baby of them 21- can't blame him. He must not have thought so highly when I pulled that trigger on the Lord's day he being bishop them 47 years and all.<br />
<br />
But Lord, I sure did have me some fun- a grand adventure if I may say so, but I have taken your scolding to heart--- I am hoping never to commit them two sins again.<br />
<br />
Amen<br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Saturday, the snow finally fell in our sleepy southern Utah town. I had been waiting anxiously for fluffy flakes to fall from the sky, but was almost resigned that it may never happen. While most residents were praying for snow to head off spring drought conditions, I knew that in order for my cougar hunt to start we needed fresh snow for tracking cougars.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">We got the call from our hunting guide, Jeremy, just as I was getting ready for my early morning meetings. Thankfully, I was prepared in case this might happen. With my camo near by, I switched gears and dressed in my Sitka apparel joined by my Rigby and our two sons Stockton (17) and Maleck (9). We loaded up in the Toyota. I clutched my Howa 243 hardly believing this was finally happening.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">We were bundled up and ready to face the early morning cold. We met our guides Jeremy and Jimmy and their half dozen hounds not six miles from our home. We quickly became acquainted and learned that we weren't strangers after all. Jeremy knew my brothers well and was also the cousin of Robb Bulloch, my brother Chris's best friend. Jeremy released the hounds as we trudged up the hill. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The hounds were Outfitted with GPS trackers, so our guides were able to locate their hunting dogs quickly and identify their location. A sudden rushing of yelps alerted us that they had "one" treed. </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Carrying my gun I followed Jeremy, our guide close behind. The hunt was in full swing. Climbing across the saddle of the mountain and down a ravine, I met the piercing eyes of my proud and beautiful opponent. I was staring down the eyes of a dangerous predator who was about to become my prey.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Jeremy and Jimmy chained their hounds up, so they could identify the "cougar parts." It was definitely a Tom. Thinking the hunt was coming to a quick close, I got in ready position- shooting sticks and all. Being left eye dominant make things a bit tricky as I have to shoot left handed, but I zeroed in on the kill using the scope of my Howa. But Jeremy and Jimmy had a different plan in mind. I guess they wanted to give us the best ride at this here, "Disneyland."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And they delivered. With their dogs chained, the Cougar slipped from the top of the tree and was on the run. Our guides quickly let their hounds loose and the hunt was on again. That meant back up the steep mountain. Thankfully, I was outfitted in my Keen Snowboots and had my trusty hiking sticks. I was off and soon joined Jimmy and the hounds at the base of the tree, I could have reached out and touched the cougar's tail if I had wanted.</span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">I got my shot off at a less than desirable very short range. Looking through the scope, all I saw was cougar hair and pulled back on the trigger and released. Shocking me almost senseless, the Cougar fell from the tree. In a matter of seconds, he was on his way a second time. "Holy Crap, " I thought, "had I missed him?" </span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-size: large;">Jimmy yelled at me to go with Jeremy and make sure I had my gun. Not wanting the hounds to get in brawl with an injured cougar, Jeremy stayed with them.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Soon enough, we found blood. Thankfully, I had hit him after all. We followed the blood trail and then all of the sudden heard one solitary bark. Rocky had some how gotten away from Jeremy and was hot on this cat's trail. We followed his loud bark and the blood trail stopped when we met up with the hound. It was Rocky, the hound to my rescue with the cougar "treed" once again. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">My three boys were right at my heels just as Jimmy told me to take a shot, Rigby was right there to assist me. I was ready to put this predator to bed. With one shot and then one more, the cougar was down. I received shouts of congratulations from my boys and a great big hug from my Rigby. Jeremy joined us and gave me a firm congratulatory hand shake. I had done it. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Maleck who had recently bagged a nice elk in Arizona smiled at me and said, "mom, you are the first one in the family to kill a predator , well done!"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I held up the cougar for photos. This Tom wasn't light. In that position he was as big as I was. Looking over his teeth, Jeremy determined this Tom must be 2-3 years old. He was a beautiful creature. I patted his fur and thought for a moment, "I done broke two commandments today, Thou shalt keep the Sabbath Day Holy, and Thou Shalt not Kill." </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Maleck interrupted my thoughts, "Mom, did you know a cougar kills a deer every nine days?" I shrugged my shoulders happily, "Happy to help out your odds for a good hunt this fall, Maleck."</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I grew up with four brothers and I am in the trenches of raising four sons. "If you can't beat them, join them." What a great morning. Maleck and I treked our way back to the truck. I pulled the "girl" card and let my Rigby and Stockton, pull the cougar out.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">What a great day, and one more adventure to add to my New Year!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks Rigby for this one of a kind Christmas gift. Most guys give their girls diamonds, not you... you gave me an adventure, a memory, and your smile of admiration. I will take that over a diamond any day!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Christopher Weaver was born the son of a shoemaker. He was born on the brink of the Industrial revolution in England on December 23, 1842. Earlier that year his parents James and Elizabeth met Mormon Missionaries in the streets on High Street who preached the restored gospel led by a living prophet. They accepted that truth the very day they heard it in March 1842. Their son, David was born two days before Christmas and his given name Christopher reflects his parents' love of the Savior and the gospel.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Christopher joined the first generation to be born into the church. The Weaver family embarked upon their journey to join the Saints in Zion from the Liverpool Docks on April 29th 1865 boarding the ship, the Bell Wood. Christopher was 23 years old and aboard the ship was 11 year old Ellen Jackson who would one day become his wife. Christopher watched Ellen grow up leaving behind pigtails and pinafores. They were married on October 21, 1872 in Nebraska City. In 1874 the young couple made their home in Lost Creek for two years before joining their family in Layton, Utah on Easy Street. Their children grew and married and had children of their own. Christopher's many talents brought prosperity and growth to their family farm. Ellen welcomed everyone with her beautiful flowers daffodils, lilacs and peonies in the spring and roses, pansies and hollyhocks in the summer. Her delicious cooking drew her family near. Ellen and Christopher led exemplary lives with testimonies that continue to influence the lives of their posterity. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="color: #333331; font-family: Verdana, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-line;">(A mystery letter taped to a dusty chair- waiting for 20 years to be opened.) After Marjorie Weaver's husband (Dean Jeffs) passed away in 2013, the children and grandchildren were looking through Dean's basement. There was a chair in the corner with a dusty envelope taped to the seat. On the front of the letter in red handwriting was, "Grandfather Christopher Weaver". What was in this letter and who wrote it?! We couldn't wait to find out. This is what the letter contained:</span></span>
<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
In 1992 , Marjorie, Daughter of Ellen and Christopher penned this letter,<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="color: #333331; font-family: "verdana" , sans-serif; font-size: 14px; white-space: pre-line;">8 Aug. 1992 "Grandfather Christopher Weaver and Grandmother Ellen Jackson Weaver each had one of these chairs. They used them in a small room with a window on the North side of the home. Granddad built a small narrow but long table on the North side of the room and the coal shed & kindling shed were North of the home also.
I had the responsibility of getting the kindling for Mother & Dad ?, Granddad Chris and Grandmother Ellen.
Many, many times as I walked to the coal & kindling sheds I would see Grandad Chris & Grandmother Ellen sitting eating their evening meal - we called it supper, sitting on one of these chairs. As a child I worked hard but had rich experiences.
Whoever takes this chair, love it and respect it. I am 75+ years old now. My time on earth is far spent.
Let us all strive to be together in Eternity!
With all my heart I love you all!!!
Most sincerely Grandmother Marjorie Weaver J.
The chair is now in the care of Clinton Bruce Jeffs in his home in Syracuse, UT. It's such a miracle this letter was left unread for over 20 years!"<br /> </span><br />

<u><br /></u>
<u>A few years ago, I came across this quote by the prophet of my childhood, Ezra Taft Benson</u><br />
<br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans" , "zoram" , "noto sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">"As parents and grandparents in Zion, it has been the shared hope of my wife and me that all of us will be together in the eternities—that all will be worthy, without a single empty chair."</span><br />
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans" , "zoram" , "noto sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; color: #333333; font-family: "open sans" , "zoram" , "noto sans" , "helvetica" , "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 18px;">SInce that time, I have been drawn to old chairs and now I have found my favorite- the chair of Christopher Weaver. I am sure he would readily concur with President Benson , "No Empty Chairs."</span><br />

<span style="line-height: 107%;">We are 15
days into the New Year and I have already had four amazing outdoor adventures- I am loving it. Living in southwest Utah provides
“bucketfuls” of opportunity. I am a CC
town native- this year I turn the big 44.
Rigby and I love living in this little town which now has a very big
light on the hill.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">In just near
an hour’s time, we can be to Zion, Bryce, Snow Canyon, Cedar Breaks, Brian
Head, or St. George. We celebrated the
New Year with a 4 wheeler expedition near the Glitter Mine south of St. George I loved it. The Indian drawings were
spectacular and Maleck got to dig for crystals- it was perfect. I loved the fresh air blowing in my face and
the blue sky hanging over head- so blessed to live here in the southwest.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="line-height: 107%;">Then just
six days later, we celebrated Rigby’s birthday with our first ever mountain biking
experience (both he and I got new bikes for his birthday-he is the sweetest
ever). We are hooked! We found a great website with mountain bike
trails and picked one. The terrain differed
in its difficulty. I admit, we got off our
bikes a time or two to traverse tough terrain.
But we made up for our timid stops on this 9 mile loop with lots of
whooping and hollering on the slick rocks and taking the “tunnel” under I-15. It was completely dark. I am not sure I would have dared had it not
been for the courage of Emma and Maleck. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 107%;">On Saturday
Rigby and I stayed local and took the “off road” trail until we hopped on the
trail near Vetrans Park and then biked up to the mouth of the canyon. The first part was pretty tough but the rest
was a breeze.<o:p></o:p></span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFe1CbF0JBo_TQsfdR7Vk5Zo5NFK2qdciezdF1-aVDHQLFjSe6CO9JexeF7WKgzijkit42CtcdP4nuKVPqinc_DsUcOjjIdTPcMZ4JGW2ecd8GRUnzHS5_lE7f-gSP1McQCEJVCuzWKG8o/s1600/IMG_4447.JPG" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiFe1CbF0JBo_TQsfdR7Vk5Zo5NFK2qdciezdF1-aVDHQLFjSe6CO9JexeF7WKgzijkit42CtcdP4nuKVPqinc_DsUcOjjIdTPcMZ4JGW2ecd8GRUnzHS5_lE7f-gSP1McQCEJVCuzWKG8o/s640/IMG_4447.JPG" width="480" /></a></div>

<span style="line-height: 107%;">We spent MLK
as a family taking the bike trail Cactus Hugger. The first part seemed all up hill and rather

<span style="line-height: 107%;">So while I
am seriously contemplating my New Year’s Resolutions for 2018, I am definitely
adding more adventure! I just want to
get out and experience the beautiful surroundings in which I live—life is to
short. I guess Thoreau said it best, “I want to live deep and suck all the
marrow in life and when It comes time to die, I don’t want to discover that I
have not lived.”<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">There are no daffodils. I
kneel at Jennie’s grave and notice the death date seems off. I snap a pic to
verify later and suddenly get lost in my thoughts.</span><span style="color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;"><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">“Chasing ghosts?” My husband asks. I don’t look up but mutter
slightly, “nope chasing stories.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">Chasing their story... Annie, Jennie’s Ruth’s and I guess
even mine- the epilogue.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="background: white;">It is bone cold out today and the clouds hang low in Utah’s
cache county. Close by I see Jennie and Marie’s father, Thomas X’s grave,
but it is more like a monument (he was one of Logans’s most prominent citizens
and a bishop of the 7th Ward for 47 years). Annie’s grave e is close by and a
few rows over are Leo’s and Marie’s - they are all here, but there are no
daffodils.<o:p></o:p></span></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I trace Jennie’s name with
my fingertips and then put my red mittens back on and tighten my red
scarf. December in Logan is no joke. Today
seems a little dismal or perhaps it is my frustration growing. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">“What am I looking for?”<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next stop is Logan’s first
rail depot. The place where Jennie and
Edwin’s worlds collided. My husband smiles and let’s me wander. Located between 8<sup>th</sup> and 9<sup>th</sup>
West, we find the depot, and I find the motherlode. An architecture and design firm calls the
depot home. They have maintained the
integrity of this historic site in ways unimaginable. On a nearby wall, I see
names of men who once worked here etched in the old wood. I try in vain to find Edwin’s name but to no
avail. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">I get lost in my thoughts
trying to imagine Edwin here working fiercely so he can steal a few moments
with Jennie when he completes his duties. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="background: white; color: #222222; font-family: "arial" , sans-serif; font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">Next, I head to West Center
Street looking for Leo and Marie’s home.
In its day, Center Street was the hub of activity in Logan. Several mansion style homes line the street
and then I find it- 281 West Center- the place where my father, Kimball and his
brother Kurt spent their first years while their father, Max was off to
war. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

a Kimball, but then why did I have this absolute resolve that I was a
Stoddard. I have always felt an allegiance
to Jennie. Even though it was Marie’s
dark brown eyes that stared back at me from the mirror and her spunky nature
that directed my life. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

by trade near Bedforshire, England before chasing his faith and coming to
America. When he told his parents of his

the man who snatched my grandmother Annie as a “Young Bride.” Annie worked her whole life to care for her
children and then cared for Margaret, Thomas’s 1<sup>st</sup> wife, on her
deathbed as well. While I don’t
understand Thomas, I admire the strength, faith, and courage which Annie had to
possess. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14.0pt; line-height: 107%;">On December 26, 1891 17 year old James joined his friends at the rail yard
downtown. The plan was to hitch a ride
on the box cars. Harmless fun for boys of
this age. The frost lay lightly on the
rails that morning in Layton. In fact, the frost was so light, it made James’ adventure seem harmless. But just as James reached to grab hold of the
passing car, his foot slipped on the ice.
The huge iron wheel crushed James’ leg.
In a panic, his buddies ran for help.
However, there was little that could be done. The doctor hoped that removing his leg might
give young James a chance of survival, but James wouldn’t hear of it. He wanted to die with his leg on. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">I came home from my Wednesday morning Bliss (aka CC temple time) with a desire to help my dad get his family history in order. Let’s just say he is addicted to “finding” names. In fact, he is so good at it, he completely has both his and my hands full!<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 14pt; line-height: 19.9733px;">I began by sorting through his cards with work that had been done and came across the name of James William Weaver (in November of 2016, we completed his temple work for him by having him sealed to his parents)the son of Christopher and Ellen (Jackson) Weaver. Why did his name catch my attention? Hadn’t Christopher and Ellen been married in the Salt Lake Temple- they were the first of this line to enter valley?</span></div>

is the kicker- James’ parents, Christopher and Ellen were not sealed in the Endowment House in 1883. James
was 9 years old at the time. Their four children Emily Rose, James William,
Sarah Ann and George Richard (lived only one year) were not sealed to them at
this time. My Great Grandfather David
Christopher was the first child of the eight to be born in the
covenant. Hence, the first four were
sealed by proxy. ( I wish I knew the reasoning for this- maybe sealing living
children to their parents was not a practice at the Endowment </span></span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">house?).</span><span style="font-family: "calibri" , sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;"> </span><br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="font-size: 12.8px;"><span style="font-size: large;">Christmas Eve 2017<br />Why keep memories... Dad Rigby gave us my most cherished gift this season. It was the personal history of his mother Zina Lunt Rigby which he recorded during the last months of her life. As I read it, I feel I am there in the room with the two of them enjoying the stories and the exchange between mother and son. Each of us have a story. I share with you snippets of my story.. the adventures with Rigby and our Fabulous Five. I am not sure sure teenagers are much easier than toddlers, but I love them all the same. This past year has been an emotionally exhausting one for me as a mother... heart has experienced moments of intense heartache and then moments of extreme joy. I am not sure How Heavenly Father does it... but I am grateful he does and I am most grateful for the birth, life, and sacrifice of his son Jesus Christ after all, he is the reason for the season.<br />He is also the reason I am able to do what I do every day. It is in whom I find, joy peace, and love. I pray that you may find this same joy, peace, and love in the coming year, and that you may share, cherish, adventure in your stories of the new year!<br /></span></td></tr>

<span style="font-size: large;">Elder Rigby called at 2:30- it was fun to face time with him. What a joy to see his growth as he has served the Lord. We look forward to his return on June 19th. As a mother, there is no greater joy than to witness a child growing closer to the Lord. Serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints will bless his life and the lives of his spouse and future family for the rest of their lives and beyond. </span><br />

<br />
The sun streamed in through the glass windows, muttering under my breath, I order my pie and sit at the soda fountain I reviewed my surroundings as I did daily. Today, I had Kimball with me. He is such a sweet meticulous boy and my first grandson. What a treasure. He loves to tag a long for my daily visits to the Bluebird. I am not sure what enjoys most the stories, or the chocolate malts. <br />
<br />
I always sit in the same spot, remove my white gloves and order a piece of pie- scrumptious. Kimball sits quietly as I recount the stories and share the memories. " Your grandmother Jennie would have loved you so much! You know she was my best friend!" He smiles and nods. I love you Grandmother.<br />
<br />
It is May in Logan as we turn the corner at West Center and head towards home. Kimball points out the daffodils, and I quicken my pace.<br />

</div>
Logan's Cache Valley was where my father grew up. My grandfather taught Art at Utah State Agricultural College and Logan High School when my father was a boy was a boy. I grew up hearing his stories of how he went skinny dipping in the Logan River with his brother Kurt, chased butterflies with and of his paper route days. He claims he delivered newspapers in 7 feet of snow up hill both ways. Years later, my father discovered that his Grandfather Leo Mearl Kimball who was the road superintendent at the time used to make sure his grandsons' paper routes were cleared first. To me these stories were magical. I loved them then and I love them more today.<br />
<br />
Then there were the tales of m how my grandparents met while attending USAC. Grandma Weaver what the somewhat "well to do" city girl and grandpa was a poor farm boy. The two met at a dance one night where Grandpa placed a bet that he could kiss that Kimball girl. He lost the bet but won the girl. Logan winters are deep in the bones cold. Grandpa slept on a back porch and walked blocks in the snow to court grandma. They were raised in the Great Depression, dated in its aftermath and married in the Logan Temple in 1938 on the eve of the 2nd great World War. Their earthly love story lasted 71 years and then stretched into the eternities.<br />
<br />
But my links to Logan began long before the 20th Century. My Great Great Grandfather Thomas X. Smith joined the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints in 1849 in England. He lived in Farmington, Utah for a short period before moving to Logan in 1857. He served a bishop of the Logan 4th ward for 46 years. My grandmother Annie Masters Howe was his 2nd wife taken in polygamy. They were sealed in the endowment house in Salt Lake in 1869.<br />
<br />
Thomas and Annie had a large family- 11 children-6 who lived to adulthood. Among the brood were the two youngest daughters, Marie and Jennie. These two will forever a hold a special place in my heart. Jennie met the handsome railway man Edwin Stoddard and they married on the eve of the Great War in 1914. Jennie gave birth to two children- Ruth and Cleve. Ruth was my grandmother. Jennie died in the Great Flu epidemic of 1918 leaving Ruth and Cleve motherless. Marie (ruth's Aunt) and her husband Leo adopted and raised Ruth and Cleve as their own.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
My father and his brother Kurt lived with their grandparents Leo and Marie with Ruth while Max served in WWII. The last check Marie wrote was to help pay for my birth. I was born on August 2nd. Marie passed on August 24th.<br />

Later on, Center street was the hub of activity in Logan as the railway stretched from 800 West and Logan. Center street still houses many of the original mansion style homes from the early years. This street was also home to the first Opera House in Logan.<br />For me and my family, Center Street is home.</span></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><span style="font-size: large;">Wandering near 800 and 900 west, I found Logan's first Depot. My great Grandfather worked her as a baggage man. the 20th century saw the end of the great steamhorse, but its existence profoundly influenced its communities. The Railway is steeped deep in my roots and carries the love story of Jennie an Edwin. All of my wanderings were electric, but entering the old depot literally sent an electric current through me- I truly stepped back in time. I only wished I could have seen Jennie an Edwin. Today the depot is home to an architecture and design firm. They have maintained the integrity of this historic site in ways unimaginable. I was simply blown away.</span></td></tr>

I can hardly believe the dedication of the Cedar City Temple is less than 6 days away. I have felt the presence of angels in our little town since the commencement of this temple- I know that these angels are the men and women who helped lay the ground work for this temple in the early days of settlement. Times have not always easy for this little town-I truly feel this temple will mend wounds for those involved in the Mountain Meadow Massacre more than 150 year ago (1857). It is as if the temple has lifted the clouds of darkness and has truly helped this valley to "blossom as a rose." </div>

A friend shared President Brigham Young's Epistle with me. I was deeply touched by it and its place in history. Yet I feel that as these words rang true for the Saints in establishing Cedar City and the Iron Mines in 1851, they also ring true although symbolically for the saints in this valley in 2017. May we find our own iron within us!</div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;">Epistle to Saints from Brigham Young and
Heber C Kimball in meetings May 8-12:</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;">To the brethren at Cedar City…we have formed
an organization for the purpose of bringing out the iron. It is unnecessary for
us to add that this is, and has been, the principal object of locating the
settlements in Iron County—you have the ore, the coal, the timber in rich
abundance—you have in your midst a supply of grain and need have no fears of a
scarcity of food. You will gradually be strengthened in numbers as the
emigration shall arrive and everything conspires to accomplish this most
desirable object, the manufacture of iron. Brethren, shall it be done, shall
the people of this territory be no longer dependent upon foreign and distant
countries for their mill, irons, machinery, and stoves, their pots and kettles,
their plows and every other useful and necessary implement which is composed of
iron, or shall we be disappointed in our expectations and still labor under the
present disadvantage of precarious and expensive transportation and continual
drain of our money, or do without those articles which are so necessary and
which are so easily furnished by a little well-directed industry and
perseverance in our midst. You have raised your hand in solemn covenant that
you will do all that lies in your power to accomplish this object, and we now
leave you, with the fullest expectation that you will bend your united and
untiring efforts to this purpose with the fullest assurance that but a few
weeks shall roll around before the cheering intelligence will salute our ears, <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;">‘send your orders, we are prepared to fill
them. The iron is piled up in our houses and in our streets, send your teams
and carry it away.’ <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left: .5in;">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;">You brethren have been selected for this
purpose and set apart to this mission. Let no influence swerve you from this
duty. Let no selfish interest intervene betwixt you and the accomplishment of
your duties, but let a devoted magnanimity for the public interest, blended
with a oneness if untiring efforts, characterize all your exertions in
whatsoever you shall put yourselves to do, do it in a spirit on oneness and of
faith believing, and the happiest results will be most likely to follow, so
shall you accomplish the object of your mission and subserve the public good. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;"> </span><span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;">How
reasonable to suppose that not only our knowledge but our talents, our
capacity, be they great or small, should be devoted to the cause of God in
whatever calling we may be engaged that is conducive to its interest…the work
in which you are engage in the manufacture of iron at this juncture in one
branch of the Kingdom of our God and should be pursued with all the vigor and
energy that has hitherto characterized your exertions in these valleys—should
be pursued as regardless of the consequence pertaining to pecuniary
considerations as preaching the gospel. It is a sacred as any other mission,
and when was the time and where the place that a faithful elder who trusted in
God did not find food and clothing sufficient to supply his necessities? We do
not recommend that you neglect to enclose your field, water your grain, and
harvest the same; this is necessary to save and secure the labor which you have
performed and the seed which you have put into the ground, but be generous to
your mission to intervene and thwart the purpose thereof.</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;"> Commence
upon a small scale and product the iron before you go into any great expense,
and then you can increase your operations as circumstances will permit and
justify. Let your improvements be of a permanent nature that your labor be not
lost. Do not be discouraged in your experiments if the first should fail. In
new and untried localities that would be an incident most likely to occur and,
yet, a subsequent trial prove more successful. But enough has been said upon
this subject, words will not accomplish the desired object, but united and
preserving efforts will. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "Arial Narrow", sans-serif;">In November, 1851, 36 of the group were
called to continue on to establish the Iron Mines. Ground was surveyed and a Fort was laid out
and named ‘Cedar City’ (because of the large number of Cedar Trees in the area)
under the direction of George A. Smith, W.H Dame, and Henry Lunt. The plat for Cedar Fort was drawn and recorded
in 1852 and is built around a designated “Temple Square” with commercial, educational,
and homes surrounding it. (Although this
is not the site of the Temple, it has a beautiful view looking to the south, of
the magnificent structure that sits nearby Beacon Hill street on Cove Drive.)<o:p></o:p></span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I woke up to a little voice on the phone... "mommy." It was cute baby boy miles away on an elk hunt with daddy and grandpa. Tears dropped pretty quickly from my sleepy eyes. This is the first birthday we have been a part. Today Maleck is 9. He is our miracle baby, our "keeps us young" baby, our forever baby.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">What an incredible blessing he has been to our family. He truly was born in the "wilderness of our affliction." He is both competitive and tenderhearted, brave yet compassionate, adventurous yet cautious. He is all the good things a little boy could every be. The only problem is that he is growing up much to quickly. I pray he will always want hugs and snuggles, and early morning cuddles. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Never could a little boy have been so welcomed and wanted to his four older siblings. He has been loved and doted on from the very first moment they saw him!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">If you were here with me today Maleck I would have kept you close, went on an adventure and tell you again about the night you were born. I love you my little boy. You truly shared with me what Mary felt , "Mary kept all these things, and pondered them in her heart."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Happy Birthday Maleck- you will forever be my baby boy!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Xo, Mama</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">P.S.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> I hope you get a big elk!</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<br />
This is our son Seleck's last Christmas as a missionary for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I couldn't be more proud of him and his choice to serve. He was the first one to issue our family the challenge to "Light the World" this holiday season. So we decided instead of our typical typical "count down" to Christmas advent calendar, we would do something in in Elder Rigby's honor.<br />
<br />
So beginning today we joined the #lighttheworld team this Christmas. The challenge for Day 1 of the 25 ways in over 25 Days, comes from Matthew 10:8 "Freely ye have received, freely Give" by donating to the local food bank. We then hung a tie with American flag on it on our front yard tree. Attached to the flag is a cut out ornament (see the blog the Red Headed Hostess for your own free templates) with today's challenge on it! We will know it is Christmas when we have 25 ties on our tree.<br />
<br />
I thought a tie with flags on it not only honors our son who is serving God on his mission for our church, but also honors those who have served our country and who are now serving our country, the United States of America. Elder Rigby's two great Grandfathers, Max Dickson Weaver and Francis LeBaron Leany fought in World War II. This tie is perfect for starting our own advent calendar this holiday!<br />

Join the challenge with us and take back Christmas this year. Slow your pace down a little bit, sip some hot chocolate, reminisce with old friends, Serve others and spread the joy the Savior has to offer!<br />
<br />
And if your passing by, hang a tie on our tree in honor of not only Elder Rigby but in honor of all the missionaries who are away from home this Christmas who not only "Light The World" this season but all year long!<br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> Growing up with four big brothers fairly close in age, there was about a period of about 7 years that my family wasn't together due to my brothers serving missions for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I couldn't wait for that moment until all nine of us would sit together on a pew at church again. There was just something about having that moment of being together that made my little girl heart so happy. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">It has been a long time since we left our home on 2nd East- 21 years to be exact, but we took our family and our memories with us and we have added family along the way (7 spouses, 33 grand kids, 4 in law grand kids, and 5 great grand kids.)</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Each family member is incredibly unique and talented. Sitting around the Thanksgiving table yesterday we counted 19 grand kids that will be attending college in the fall of 2018- this is remarkable!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">And then we still have our "youngers" that keep life adventurous! We spent an amazing two and half days playing together! Ultimate frisbee, card games, movies, basketball, ping pong, Anti-I-over, Monkey in the Middle, Bunko, Fry 'em, rabbit hunting, skeet shooting, hiking spring creek, and batting practice rounded out the holiday. Grandma and Grandpa even took a few swings at bat- such a treasure!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">While these kiddos didn't get to play under the two elm trees on 2nd east together, they still are making memories and playing games!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I haven't spent Thanksgiving with my parents, siblings, and their children since 2013- I have been missing them! So I have been texting back and forth with my siblings and we have been working up a plan. Football, ultimate frisbee, hiking, games movies, skeet shooting are all activities that top the list- I can't wait.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> There are 33 grand kids, and for the most part they all get along. Thankfully, they have a lot in common- this helps!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Traditions are the best part of any holiday. They also remind me of holidays past including the Thanksgiving dinners at my grandmother Hofheins' house in Beaver. She always hosted until we outgrew her home. I loved the smell of her rolls and the sight of her pies, and I don't think I will ever forget they day I "graduated" from the "kids' table" and joined the adults. I wish I could have just one more Thanksgiving dinner at her house!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I recall only one Thanksgiving with my Grandma and Grandpa Weaver in Orem, and I will forever cherish it. Although we ate on paper plates and ran out of potatoes and everything in general, it is my favorite memory with my 30 cousins! After dinner we scraped together our pennies (and I mean scraped) and went to Rocky IV. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">My dad and his three brothers sat on the front row and shouted out "work 'em Rock." We cousins sat across the theater from them. While they were more than embarrassing, I wish I could have that memory back- just one more time especially now that 2 of those four uncles are no longer with us!</span>Emma's Arcadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17289882192655525150noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1256472657472357724.post-46561719239791434422017-11-14T12:49:00.001-08:002017-11-14T12:49:26.178-08:00Dear November, I guess I am using you to get to December.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">I saw a funny saying on facebook it read, "Dear November, I am using you to get to December." So true! The truth is Halloween now ushers in the holiday season and I am perfectly fine with it. I love traditions of any kind. Traditions add flavor to the everyday. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This Halloween we started a new tradition. For the trick or treaters, we made homemade root beer and homemade donuts. It was an absolute blast.</span></div>

</div>
While I await with great anticipation the dedication of the Cedar City Temple, I honor and will always treasure the St. George Temple. Rigby and I were sealed for time and for all eternity in this sacred house of the Lord on July 29, 1995. Both of our parents were married here as well and Rigby's paternal and maternal grandparents. <br />
<br />
We enjoyed a youth trip to the St. George Temple quarry in mid October. Brother Lillywhite did a great job as he shared his craftsman ship of cutting stones while sharing details of how the St. George Temple was built. Unlike the Cedar City Temple that just "seemed to appear on the hill," the story of the building of the St. George Temple is much different.<br />

Brigham Young arrived in St. George in the winter of 1870. He was tiring quickly and his health was declining. It was his desire to see a temple built in the west before his passing. At this point no work had been done on the Salt Lake temple for 7 years. The saints needed something to unify them- to cure the restlessness they were feeling. Brigham Young has his heart set on Dixie. In January 1871 he petitioned his brethren for their input in regards to building a temple in St. George. Erastus Snow exclaimed "Glory! Hallelujah!" This same sentiment echoed throughout the room. The date was January 31, 1871.<br />
<br />
On November 5, 1871 members of Dixie sustained the decision to build the St. George temple- four days later the groundbreaking for the temple took place. The excavation process of building the St. George temple met with opposition. While a 1/4 of the temple rested on limestone the rest lay on marshy land. Volcanic rock was taken from the nearby black mesa (near the previous airport in St. George) to and was used to sure up the foundation once the marsh was drained.<br />
<br />
Imagine what those pioneers did. First a road had to be built to get the rock, and then wagons had to transport it to the temple site and then drive the rock into the ground into the ground. The work was long, hard and tedious, but the faith of the saints prevailed. This process took more than two years- and that was just for the foundation. This process required thousands of tons of small rock. (and this is just the story of the foundation).<br />

A temple for St. George was announced on November 9, 1871 by <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigham_Young" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Brigham Young">Brigham Young</a> and was dedicated on April 6, 1877.

The St. George Temple was built to satisfy the church's immediate need for an appropriate place for temple ceremonies and ordinances. Because of the pressing need, the building's groundbreaking ceremony was held on the day the temple was announced. It was the third to be completed by the church and the first one in Utah.<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-visitors_center_1-0" style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George_Utah_Temple#cite_note-visitors_center-1" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;">[1]</a></sup></div>

<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brigham_Young" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Brigham Young">Brigham Young</a> chose a 6-acre (24,000 m<sup style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1;">2</sup>) plot as the temple site. Builders soon discovered that the chosen site was swampy with numerous underground streams. Young was consulted on moving the site, but he remained firm in the idea that this was the site for the temple. To deal with the swampy site, workers created drains to eliminate as much water as possible. Then they brought lava rock to the site and crushed it into a gravel to create a dry foundation for the temple. This led to a new problem: how to crush the rock. Someone suggested using an old cannon<sup class="reference" id="cite_ref-2" style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1; unicode-bidi: isolate; white-space: nowrap;"><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/St._George_Utah_Temple#cite_note-2" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;">[nb 1]</a></sup> that the city had acquired. After creating a pulley system, the cannon was used as a pile driver to compact the lava rock and earth and create a firm foundation.</div>
<div style="background-color: white; color: #222222; font-family: sans-serif; font-size: 14px; line-height: inherit; margin-bottom: 0.5em; margin-top: 0.5em;">
After stabilizing the foundation, work began on the structure. The walls of the temple were built of the red sandstone common to the area and then plastered for a white finish. Local church members worked for over five and a half years to complete the temple. Historians <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_B._Allen_(historian)" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="James B. Allen (historian)">James Allen</a> and <a class="mw-redirect" href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Glen_Leonard" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Glen Leonard">Glen Leonard</a> made note of the dedication shown by the pioneers in Southern Utah. The workers opened new rock quarries, cut, hauled and planed timber, and donated one day in ten as tithing labor. Some members donated half their wages to the temple, while others gave food, clothing and other goods to aid those who were working full-time on the building. Women decorated the hallways with handmade rag carpets and produced fringe for the altars and pulpits from Utah-produced <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silk" style="background: none; color: #0b0080; text-decoration-line: none;" title="Silk">silk</a>. At its completion, it contained 1,000,000 board feet (2,000 m<sup style="font-size: 11.2px; line-height: 1;">3</sup>) of lumber, which had been hand-chopped and hauled between 40 and 80 miles (60 and 100 km). They also used 17,000 tons of volcanic rock and sandstone, hand-cut and hauled by mule teams.</div>

Wells</a>, his second counselor, gave the dedicatory prayer. The St. George Temple was the only temple completed while Brigham Young was president.

<span style="font-size: large;">I have been so grateful to sit on the Cedar City Temple Public Affairs Committee. As such my main responsibility was to write the Cedar City Temple newsletter. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">As I have written the newsletter, I have been able to hear and share the stories of so many who have been a part of this great work. But above all, I have felt the presence of the founding pioneers of Cedar City and their rejoicing in the building of this temple. When the groundbreaking took place for this temple on August 8, 2015, the veil became thin. The priesthood power became evident. Boyd K. Packer said, "The sealing power of the priesthood is the only power that can reach on both sides of the veil." </span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">After a little digging, I found that I had two ancestors of my own ancestors who were here during the early days of settlement- Jane Nelson Morgan Patterson(maternal line) and Ann Pearsall Jackson (paternal line).</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> </span><span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">In 1853 Jane and her husband Andrew headed south to Cedar city where Andrew worked in the mines. They lived in a dugout all winter. Finally, they completed their first proper home, a log cabin where Jane gave birth to their daughter, Catherine. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large; text-align: center;">Tragedy once again found Jane when two sons Andrew (1855) and Alexander (1856) died of starvation in Cedar City.</span><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI0FUlD1hxlWZg8Gb_TtYll7Vo3z3Zh74-cHMIUbbN3Vwv3asbI1WhhXcj_cI5elCg1kDgfu4RQXC7AWgBAJQz7rof1smlKwlNefJwwFzMJekCQq9UDtECeVpny8aqYWy6HDGrn_09XW3B/s1600/Andrew+Patterson.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="font-size: x-large; margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: center;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1191" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiI0FUlD1hxlWZg8Gb_TtYll7Vo3z3Zh74-cHMIUbbN3Vwv3asbI1WhhXcj_cI5elCg1kDgfu4RQXC7AWgBAJQz7rof1smlKwlNefJwwFzMJekCQq9UDtECeVpny8aqYWy6HDGrn_09XW3B/s640/Andrew+Patterson.jpg" width="476" /></a><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> Ann Pearsall Jackson(paternal line) worked as a maid in the Henry Lunt's home (my husband's great great grandfather) in 1874. She received her patriarchal blessing in Cedar City and was sealed by proxy to her husband William on June 2nd 1880 (William died in 1858) in the St. George Temple.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: large;">I then think of my own grandparents, Max and Ruth Weaver coming to cedar city in 1957. My Grandfather Max came to teach art at CSU.

<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">While the
Cedar City Temple is indeed reminiscent of pioneer temples and structures, it
did not require the martyrdom of its prophet (Nauvoo temple), </span><span style="font-size: 14pt;">it was not built as hostiles sought the demise
of the saints nor during extreme poverty (Kirtland temple), it did not require
a canon with which to pound volcanic rock into the earth to secure its
foundation(St. George temple) nor did it require two years of dynamite blasting
to prepare the footings and the foundation and then another 9 years for
completion, (Manti temple). But it did require generations of faith- the first Mormons entered the valley in 1850. The temple will be dedicated on December 10, 2017. This event has been 167 years in the making.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: 14pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: 14pt;">I will cherish December 10, 2017 the day of the Temple Dedication and the days proceeding it. I express gratitude for so many who will be on this side of the veil and now on the other who sacrificed so Cedar City Could have its own temple. The heavens will rejoice and I with them. God lives, loves, and is always aware of us if we but ask.</span><br />

This is a topic very dear to my heart. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Anxiety is something I have dealt with since a child although I was never diagnosed. I look back and see several red flags. Unfortunately, no one else did. It wasn't until I was 37 and laying on an ER table with my heart beating 240 beats a minute that I knew something had to change. Fortunately, I was blessed with a tender mercy and had what I call my "treadmill epiphany." A commercial about Generalized Anxiety Disorder came on while I was on the treadmill shortly after my heart surgery, and I decided that finally this new direction I would get help.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I now take medicine every day. It is nice to more fully experience joy. While, I know medication is not the answer for everyone, it was the saving grace for me. I also exercise daily and I am on a a gluten free diet. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">My anxiety has a strong genetic origin ( I see my dad, siblings, nieces and nephews, and cousins with anxiety traits also). It can also be traced to biological roots (neurotransmitters in my brain are off), psychological trauma (repressed trauma as a child) and environmental stressors. I am pretty much a text book case. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;"> The medicine is not a cure all- I still have my good days and bad days. The worst part of my anxiety is that it disconnects me somewhat socially- I hate this. But I guess we can't have it all, right!</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I am grateful for the life that is mine, and I am most grateful for the 2nd chance I have at life. I plan to live it to the fullest- anxiety and all.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Note:</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">I am including a few notes from my lesson and some great resources I have found as well. </span><br />

Many mental illnesses run in families, suggesting they may be passed on
from parents to children through genes. Genes contain instructions for the
function of each cell in the body and are responsible for how we look,
act, think, etc. However, just because your mother or father may have or
had a mental illness doesn't mean you will have one. Hereditary just means
that you are more likely to get the condition than if you didn't have an
affected family member. Experts believe that many mental conditions are
linked to problems in multiple genes -- not just one, as with many diseases
-- which is why a person inherits a susceptibility to a mental disorder
but doesn't always develop the condition. The disorder itself occurs from
the interaction of these genes and other factors -- such as

Some mental illnesses have been linked to an abnormal balance of brain
chemicals called neurotransmitters. Neurotransmitters help nerve cells in
the brain communicate with each other. If these chemicals are out of
balance or are not working properly, messages may not make it through the
brain correctly, leading to symptoms of mental illness. In addition,
defects in or injury to certain areas of the brain also have been linked

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">The Savior loves each of His Father’s children. He fully
comprehends the pain and struggle that many experience as they live with a
broad range of mental health challenges. He suffered “pains and afflictions and
temptations of <em>every</em> kind;
. . . [taking] upon him the pains and the sicknesses of his people” (</span><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/alma/7.11#10"><span style="color: #147ea7; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Alma 7:11</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">;
emphasis added). He suffered “the pains of every living creature, both men,
women, and children” (</span><a href="https://www.lds.org/scriptures/bofm/2-ne/9.21#20"><span style="color: #147ea7; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">2 Nephi 9:21</span></a><span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">; see

<span style="color: #333333; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Our thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and relationships can be
severely affected by mental health challenges or mental illness. Elder Jeffrey
R. Holland reminds us: “If you are the one afflicted or a caregiver to such,
try not to be overwhelmed with the size of your task. Don’t assume you can fix
everything, but fix what you can. If those are only small victories, be
grateful for them and be patient” (“</span><a href="https://www.lds.org/ensign/2013/11/saturday-afternoon-session/like-a-broken-vessel"><span style="color: #147ea7; font-family: "Helvetica",sans-serif; font-size: 13.5pt;">Like

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">When I was in the 8th grade my oldest brother Kim brought home his fiance, Sofia, who was then attending BYU. Sofia was born and raised in Mexico. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Sofia shared my room with me that weekend. I couldn't stop asking her questions about Mexico. I am sure I was most annoying, but I was intrigued! I had my goals set on world travel and I dreamed of one day being a diplomat. She was a living, breathing textbook, and she most patient with me. She was also very close to the spirit. I was immediately drawn to this. My family while strong in the gospel wasn't exactly your everyday scripture reading Mormons. In fact , we struggled sharing spiritual things. But Sofia she was different. I learned so much from her example.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> Kim and Sofia had met while serving in the Houston, Texas mission. I instantly adored Sofia, loved her, and wanted to be like her. She was a good sport to take on our huge brood as the now oldest sibling. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Now, the Weavers are a curious bunch-somewhat awkward, loud, very forthwith their thoughts (me included), and lacking in social mores. It must have been most difficult for Sofia. Her culture was so different- gracious, warm, and loving. Now that I too have gone through 23 years of being an in-law, I have greater insight into just how patient and kind she was to all of us.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Last Friday, Sofia and Kim's oldest son, Bronson was married to Monique in the Salt Lake Temple. It was a lovely ceremony and they are a stunning couple. As we met Monique's family in the waiting room, I was reminded of Kim and Sofia's wedding in the Mesa Temple. So many feelings of warmth and love exuded from Monique's family. Much like Sofia's family that day in June not so long ago. Much like Monique's family also, Sofia's family welcomed us with open arms. I felt like not only did I gain another sister, but another family as well!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">I was a sophomore in high school when Bronson was born- he was the first grandchild, my first nephew, and we all were instantly in love with him! I bought him the coolest train for his first Christmas, took him on his first elephant ride, and even to Disneyland (Sofia was most trusting- not sure I would have been). </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"> I cried when my brother Kim made Bronson keep rollerblading when he kept falling down time after time. I stood back and mumbled not the nicest things about Kim under my breath. He told me he was teaching his son to be tough! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">It was amazing to witness the sealing of Monique and Bronson. I loved being in the temple with 5 of my six siblings and their spouses. It was heaven, it was healing, and it was happy. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">Thanks Monique and Bronson for allowing us to be a part of your special day! Thanks Kim and Sofia for raising such great children, and for teaching me some tough lessons. Thanks mom and dad for giving me the gift of family. You know, my family like most don't exactly have it altogether, but together we have it all!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Dear Stockton,</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"> "Wish I had me a pause button, moments like these Lord knows I'd hit it!"</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Next year when the leaves turn colors and begin to fall from the trees, I will miss the "Friday night lights" on the Falcon field. I will miss being on the sidelines feeling the rhythm of the game while clicking pics, I will miss the sound of the fans and the image of Dad in the field watching your every move! I will most definitely miss my little boy grown tall. But I will not "cry because it is over, I will smile because it happened."</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">This season did not go as you or any of us wanted, but you have learned that life is like that.You didn't even know until August 1 if you would be able to take the field, but you did it Stock. You defied all of the nay sayers and while you were not taking the field at QB, you took the field. Your "grit" and indomitable spirit carried you through.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">As a kindergartner you made me run drills with you before you went to school- everyday! You had to get it right- you ran fast. The first time you played football you caught the ball and ran for a touchdown. I will never forget that image of your white hair flapping in the wind. Raising you has most definitely been an adventure and a beautiful blessing. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love you Stockton. I could not be more proud of who who have become. You most definitely have been made stronger through the refiner's fire. Wherever your pathway takes you, I will pray for you, and I will cherish the moments of watching you grow, shine, and become stronger. </span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">I love you Stockton. You will forever be my BTF and for always my little boy! </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">Elder Rigby, Seleck, I just got in from my morning run. I felt like a kid again running through the leaves- I love the sound of the leaves crackling underfoot. I even paused and grabbed a handful of leaves and threw them up in the air and let them fall on top of me. The air is fresh and beautiful out, and I feel refreshed from a wonderful weekend of service and making memories. </span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">I spent Thursday chasing a story in Leeds at the CCC Camp there. I loved this wander and enjoyed the solitude as I was not rushed and could wander freely. I then headed to St. George and enjoyed lunch with cousin Alex Walter. She is going to spruce up my blog a bit- loved spending time with she and her son Ben!</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">After the team temple run, the young women in our ward made 125 stockings for the homeless children in Iron County School District. We have 25 more to go. The Young Men are helping us fill them with Christmas cheer. I love my young women's calling- the girls are super amazing! </span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">Meeting this guy- Elder Gabe Najarian. It was totally the next best thing to hugging you. We were so sad daddy couldn't be with us because of a speaking engagement and Maleck wanted to stay for the primary program. Mi hijo, it was totally worth the drive. We left Cedar City at 9 am and arrived in SLC at 12:30 (we had to be back home by 6:30 for the encampment court of honor). We listened to his amazing talk (I will send you my notes in a letter) and then spoke with him following the meeting. We took him an SUU shirt. We are hoping to recruit him down our way. He got all teary eyed when he spoke of working with you in Brewster and in Hood River. Man, he loves you. He says you are going to be his Best Man at his wedding! He promised to come see us in CC town- he better. Dad can't wait to meet him.</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So, Seleck, we have a pretty blessed life. While we are sad you weren't with us, (we always are) we appreciate your sacrifice in serving the Lord. Although your path is not always easy, this is the place for you right now as you are being tutored by the Lord's hand. It doesn't matter where you serve mi hijo- just that you do!</span></div>

<span style="font-size: large;"> I am sitting at the computer as the light streams in as I blog today. I am sporting my favorite flannel and sipping hot chocolate- I love Autumn. The grass is fresh with morning dew. It was hard to get the troops going this morning. We spent Sunday on Cedar Mountain with a view to take your breath away. It was the perfect "deer camp" and provided great reception to listen to General Conference.</span><br />
<span style="font-size: large;">In between sessions, we wandered a bit.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">We came to Cedar Breaks a lot when I was a kid. We had picnics here, family reunions, and hiked to grandpa's tree. I love the beauty of the breaks. I am inspired by Henry David Thoreau's quote. I think Rigby is too. He wanders so much. I believe if he had a pen in hand he would write much the same thing.</span><br />

“I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived. I did not wish to live what was not life, living is so dear; nor did I wish to practise resignation, unless it was quite necessary. I wanted to live deep and suck out all the marrow of life, to live so sturdily and Spartan-like as to put to rout all that was not life, to cut a broad swath and shave close, to drive life into a corner, and reduce it to its lowest terms...” Henry David Thoreau</h1>

And dances with the daffodils. </div>

<span style="font-size: large;">So I took to my backyard garden box and cleaned up the lingering summer squash plant and prepped it for daffodils. The whole time I was thinking, "I can't wait to see these daffodils dance!"</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">While I am not known for my green thumb, google assured me that it was easy. So I followed the four step process which concluded with a good soak of the bulbs and then I smiled- I only hope that come spring they will be smiling back at me.</span><br />

<span style="font-size: large;">The old saying "the best friends" are old friends holds steadfast in my heart. Amy and I were English majors at SUU together. We braved the classes of Moorty, Aton and Simon, and relished the lectures by Lee and Cook. She was, is and, will forever be a blessing to my life. The day the daffodils arrived was an answer to prayer from my friend on the other side of the country who is strong, and brave, and faithful- and is my forever friend!</span>Emma's Arcadiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17289882192655525150noreply@blogger.com0
