“You cannot legislate the poor into freedom by legislating the wealthy out of freedom.  What one person receives without working for, another person must work for without receiving.  The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.  When half of the people get the idea that they do not have to work because the other half is going to take care of them, and when the other half gets the idea that it does no good to work because somebody else is going to get what they work for, that my dear friend, is about the end of any nation.  You cannot multiply wealth by dividing it.” – Dr. Adrian Rogers, 1931

Subject: Fwd: George & Susan Books from Mat LymanJerry,

A year or so ago you emailed to your Finlinson branch about us having some reprinted George and Susan Finlinson books that were originally done in 1974. We currently have 20 to 30 left.

Would you be willing to notify your family members that they can have them for $5.00 each if they pick them up or $10.00 each if we send them. My sister Lisa has some in Oak City and I have some at our home in Fruit Heights.

Thanks for your consideration.
Mat

Martha let me know that we hadn’t announced Race’s mission call to everyone yet. He was called to the Chicago Illinois South (Spanish speaking), reporting on the 25th of April. We have him speaking in Church on the 15th of April. I know it’s not a farewell (a family affair), but since I’m conducting that Sunday, I didn’t want to leave Martha out of the program . She’s speaking as well!! For those who are thinking about boosting our attendance that day, Sacrament Meeting is at 9am (Pomerene, AZ).

Subject: Grandpa

Grandpa, “Uncle Raymond”, went into emergency surgery last night for a hernia. When they opened him up they found that he was full of cancer, and that one of the tumors had ruptured. They did repair the hernia, and he did survive the surgery. All prayers and thoughts are needed for him. He is still in ICU at American Fork Hospital, but will probably not be returning to his care center. He will probably go into hospice care. I will send updates as I receive them.
