12th Ward April Newsletter
Happy kind of Spring Brothers and Sisters. We hope you are
all doing well.
Being in the construction and real estate business, I have
always had a weakness for the show “Extreme Makeover
Home Edition”. Recently I watched one that the family had
a 19 year old son who was born blind and could not straighten
his arms or legs, crippling him. I expected it to be another
great program that I would quickly forget. I was wrong.
This young man touched my life in a way I did not think
possible. His positive attitude and appreciation of all he had
was amazing. At one point he made this statement, “I don’t
see blindness as a disability, but as an ability. Some people who
can see, only look on the outward appearance of people. I
can’t do this. All I can see is what is inside.” How wonderful
would this life be if we could all close our eyes when we
meet someone and meet what’s inside, and not care about
what we see.
The other thing I found amazing about this young man was
his ability to play the piano, and play it beautifully with
crippled hands. Each day we face challenges in our lives. Some
of these challenges are greater than others. At that point
we have the option to sit down and have a pity party, or the
option to dig in our heels and make the best of what we
have been given. Sometimes digging in our heels means good
hard work. Other times it may mean swallowing our pride
and asking forgiveness of a friend, neighbor or family member.
Other times it may mean a trip in to visit with the bishop to
begin the repentance process.
Eventually spring will arrive and with it the earth will once
again be renewed. May we take this opportunity to dig in our
heels and renew ourselves as well.
We love you and are grateful for your prayers on our behalf,

Young Women
Spring has arrived and before you know it
summer will be here. We are trying to make
final preparations for camp so if you could take
a minute to look at your summer schedules and
see how many of you will be attending camp it
would be great. Also on that note we are in
need of kayaks, canoes and life jackets for use
during girls camp. If we could borrow those
it would be a big help please let one of the
leaders know.
As the end of school is coming we know many
of you are involved with lots of fun stuff with
school tryouts, sports, plays, graduation and we
want you all to know we wish the best for all
of you. You are all such special girls and have
so much to offer us and each other. Please
know we love you.
all doing well.
