Pies
My neighbor came with me last night to the broadcast. She is not a member of the church but has been investigating it. Tonight she brought over two pies. She said, "I just kept mulling around in my mind the words that he (Elder Uchtdorf) said and I just wanted to create!" She even found an area and cleaned it up and made it beautiful just like he suggested. . . "create a space." Her husband joked, "You can go with Melanie to those meetings whenever you want." Isn't that great? I love how we all were so touched and hopped to it. I made a great dinner complete with rolls and a broccoli salad. I don't do that enough and I used to really enjoy creating in that way. Now on to the monkeys . . .

Monkeys aren't stupid. Seriously, I saw this show where a monkey broke into a liquor store with a screwdriver. He didn't eat or drink anything, but he made several long-distance phone calls. Monkeys are crazy like that.
Melanie! I wish you would have been at said cabin for pie, too. Come up with all your cute kids and I'll make another pie and we'll go to the cabin. I really do love your blog. It has made me cry on more than one occasion. You are such a good missionary! I love that your friend made pies. Shelby made a pie last night, too. She told me. Isn't it awesome all of the creativity and kindness that Uchtdorf's talk has sparked? So, so neat.
I loved President Ukdorf's talk too. It made me feel like I shouldn't be so hard on myself like I usually am.
i have really really been wanting pie lately. can you please make me one? you're a much better cook than i am.
goodness i miss you guys.
Katie, I make monkeys not pies. :) Emily made the pie - she lives by you. I will some day make Em a monkey. I want to create - but too many messes to clean up first. Uggg.
No, I bet you still make better pies than I do. Plus you're really good at thoughtful stuff, so all I have to do is say I want it and you'll do it next time I see you.
Speaking of monkeys, we have a real fun present for you for your birthday....
