It’s great to be eight.

Our youngest just turned six and is learning to draw the number 8. She got a small whiteboard as a gift and covers the surface with figure eights, 8 and says to me, “I can’t wait to be 8.”

What a blessing to have “I Want to Be Baptized” and “The Holy Ghost is Like a Blanket” for her to read and ponder before she turns eight and makes that important choice in her life.

I had the blessing of signing a few books for some friends who came to town. I do love signing books for special events like baptisms and confirmations.

The gospel is a joy and at this Easter season when we rejoice in the resurrection of Jesus Christ, I find happiness abounding all around in the simple joys of life, even drawing the letter 8, it’s great!

Celebrate!

Stay Tuned – I’ll be headed to Provo/Orem the first week of May for book signing events.
