Thought for the Day


"Oh, it is wonderful to know that our Heavenly Father loves us - even with all our flaws! His love is such that even should we give up on ourselves, He never will. We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever. Although we might settle for less, Heavenly Father won't, for He sees us as the glorious beings we are capable of becoming."

- Elder Joseph B. Wirthlin

Fun @ the Zoo

We have had soooooo much fun with Jen, Blake, Lane, and Paige here. Last Wednesday we went to the Phoenix Zoo. The coolest thing for all of us was when we went to the tiger's cage.
As we stood at the glass looking at the tiger, he suddenly started pacing and looking really angry. Which is kindof cool but only if you are behind the glass and there is a big drop off between the glass and the tiger. We were all wondering why he was so upset and we saw one of the zoo workers drive by in a little open truck thingy. Hurm???
We started to move on when another worker drove by and the tiger started getting upset again. This time we asked the zoo worker why he was behaving that way. The guy told us that 3 years ago he and the other worker were the ones that tranq'ed the tiger and moved him to another cage. And now, 3 years later, the tiger still HATED those 2 guys.
WOW!!! It was really cool to see the tiger come running up to the edge of the drop off and roaring really loud.
3 years is a long time to hold a grudge! :)
