This past year here in California a judge ruled that Marriage only between a man and a woman was "Unconstitutional." Now the marriage lisence in the state of California says Partner A and Partner B, so there has been a proposition presented to make an amendment to the state constition which DOES NOT take away anyones rights but firmly defines marriage to be between a man and a woman. With our religious beliefs and morals, you can see how this can be upsetting and something to fight for. So Jay has been knocking doors, with other members of our congegation, helping to inform people about what Prop 8 really is and we are praying that the votes will come through in favor of the Proposition. Yesterday we read an article in the Wall Street journal about the fight that the church has take on, with everything that we as a church organization have done it was amazing to be recognized nationally. Here is the link, check it out: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB122186063716658279.html
And please pray that this Propostion will pass to protect the sanctity of marriage that is so precious to us all. And it will also help to protect the morals that seems to be faultering in our society. This is a little of what has been consumming our thoughts and energies the last month.

I can't tell you how nice it is to see old friends who are making good decisions and investing their time in good things. It seems like I have found so many old friends on the Internet and it's sad to see where life has taken them because of their choices. I admire your courage and we are definitely with you guys and praying beside you. Issues like this remind me so much of the scriptures that have been covered in Sunday School lately with the unbelief of others and how they so often try to convince the believers that they are wrong and make the believers seem like they are the bad ones. Anyway, I could go on forever...
We don't know anything but girls in our house, so that's just our life I guess. We would love to get a little boy. I'm just not really counting on it. I know Josh is still keeping his fingers crossed though:) We find out next week hopefully.
