Okay this is Nat by the way, I can’t remember my password so I am using LB’s. We are having FHE on Sat. Oct. 28. This FHE will be in Salt Lake at our house. We would love for you all to RSVP because we have to know exactly who will all be there. We are going to have a murder mystery night. I will send your characters in the mail as soon as I hear back from all the families. We realize that the Leonard adults won’t be able to come. So let us know asap.
You can go to Flickr to see some pictures of the big day.

We had a great time. You will also see some pictures of Eliza and Abigail’s lemonade stand. They were so cute about it. They want to do it every day; which, depending on how things go at the new work, they might be out there with Aunt Amy. Natalie will have to give you the details.
Love, Boyd
The LB Cook Reunion was a good one; too bad we missed so many of you. Brett did an awesome job on the program. It was about Grandpa Loyal and his journal that he wrote prior to marrying Grandmother. You should all be receiving a bound copy of it. I have read a lot of it, from Sandy’s copy as well as from the copy Brett gave us. It cracks me up. He was quite the man. It reminds me of the old time movies. Brett pointed out some pretty funny stories and we talked a little about what Grandfather Cook must have been going through at different stages in his life. He is an awesome example of a loving husband and his journal shows how much he loves Grandma. Anyway, all of Aunt Deanna’s family was there except Brea, Nicole and Lori. Kim and I were the only ones there from our family. Patricia and Kelly were there. All of Uncle Stott’s family was there. The Hulmes were missing Loyal, Uncle Charles, and Heidi. Grandma was there in the morning and it was great to see her.
We missed you and hope to see you next year. Love, Boyd and Nat
Just wanted to give Pa and all our two bits. The very last poem that Uncle Barry gave was my favorite. It talked about a Ship sailing off toward the horizon and though “I” could no longer see the ship, it continued on its journey, the same hole ship that it was before. I love Barry and will have to email Pa about some of our conversations. The funeral was amazing and how could it have not been; given the fact it was about an amazing Lady. Here are some pictures…

We had a great time at Rifle Gap. It was a fun place to have the reunion. We had to make it a short trip, up Friday and home today. We stopped at Grandma and Grandpa’s as well as the Dino Park on the way home. Grandma looked good while we where there, but has been having a hard time; so, if any of you can, I would suggest going and visiting. They love seeing everyone and even Grandma loves telling you about how great life is.

For those that may not have been able to make the Priesthood Session, Pa, here are some of the things that I got from it.
Elder Worthland – Told some stories of playing football. They were fun stories. He talked about not taking your eye off the ball and to do what is right and let the consequence follow. One phrase he quoted was, “The Priesthood means services; bearing the priesthood I will serve.”
Elder Hales – Spoke to the Aaronic Priesthood holders. He said, you made a decision prior to coming to Earth that you would be a leader. Elder Hales calls the 20s the decade of decision. Become prepared for your 20s while you are young. True friends make it easier to live the gospel; are you living and being the friend you would want your eternal companion to be. Do not practice selective obedience. Elder Hales then talked about “being there”. Be there when it is time to get baptized. Be there for your ordination to the priesthood. Be there when your mission is called. Be there when your bride to be is at the alter and be there when the Lord calls you home. Be there!
Bishop McMullin – You are in charge of your world. No one can make decisions for you and no one can force you to do anything. Be Faithful, unencumber your life, and lay up in store. Be prepared in your food storage and be prepared in your spiritual life as well.
Elder Faust – We are the agents of the Lord. Become a man of God. Don’t play victim. You are in charge of your destiny. “In my carrier I was never worse off for standing up for my faith”.
President Monson – There are 6.5 billion people in the world and you are an elect and select few that hold the priesthood. The priesthood is not like a set of clothes that you can take on and off. Make the decision now to put on the priesthood. “Come follow me and I will direct your paths.”
President Hinckley – Be more dedicated. Put your shoulder to the wheel. He then talked about Joseph F. Smith and the dream that he had while serving a mission in Hawaii. ( I will not go into details but you should read about the dream on your own) If you are clean you can face anything. Be ye vessels of the Lord. Be clean in language, thought, body and spirit. Speak clean language, have clean thoughts, don’t get tattoos, stay away from bad internet sites and dress clean. Get an education, it is the door that Joseph F. Smith knocked on. Speak in prayer to the Lord.
