So, I don’t want any one to feel obligated but I just thought I should let you guys know so I don’t get in trouble for not informing. My show opens this Friday. It should be pretty fun, We are having real rain and everything. It is small town community theater though. Its double cast but I am in it all the nights. On Sat, Tues, Thurs, Sat, I play the part of Kathy Selden. Its pretty fun, I sing a couple songs and do a bunch a dancing. The other nights, I am in the chorus. The tickets are 8 dollars for adults and 6 dollars for children under 12. I can get tickets for you or you can buy them at the door. I think that June 2 would be the best day to go just cause its closing night, I play the part of Kathy and closing is usually the best show. But if there is a sell out night this will be it so you might want advance tickets. Seriously don’t feel obligated though. Its NOT a big deal at all! I know it would be a long drive. We put it on at the High School here in Heber. Just wanted to let you know though. Thanks

Scott called and reminded me tax season is coming up and I wanted to remind everyone to get their stuff in early. You will need to mail it or bring it in to our Salt Lake office, so call and set up an appointment today! Boyd will be handling the heavy stuff, correct social security numbers and number of dependents and I will handle the easy stuff, installment sales, 1031 exchanges, family limited partnerships, debenture bonds and other of your easy tax issues. Remember even though pa is millions of miles away it is still a race to get your tax information in.
I guess Father made mention of our special announcement in his journal, but since few (Kim) apparently read the entire journal, I thought I better make the announcement official, “Jenny is pregnant.” Yes, it was planned, although the father (me) is freaking out. Yes, I do hope it is a boy, but if it is a girl I will be equally as excited and her name will be “Patience”.
The second announcement is I am a new Boise State Broncos fan. Not only did they give the BCS another jab, they did it in the most dramatic fashion. Did anyone see the game? Wow!
Charly woke up so I thought I would let you take a look. Only an hour and a half until the Aggies play. The weather here is perfect for football, I wonder how it is up in Logan. And even a bigger rivalry will happen this weekend when my team takes on Amy’s in fantasy football.
Here are Cassidy and Raylee Saturday morning after watching cartoons and eating waffles with dad. When Cassidy woke up the first thing she noticed was the snow in the mountains. She was really excited and said, “It’s almost winter time!” Raylee is holding one of her dollys from her Birthday. Cassidy just stepped out of “her” salon (I originally put saloon, hope that never happens) and was very willing to pose for her picture. Jenny has been working on quilts and getting paid the big bucks. And Charly is sleeping. I am just bumming around waiting for the Aggie game and checking off what honey dues I can. I hope you guys had a great Saturday, ours is just getting started.
Our family has had a pretty exciting week. It has been great to have parents/grandparents in the MTC. It brings back a flood of great memories. I definitely remember being worn out at night after all of the long days of language and spiritual training.
Saturday Jenny and I went to a Elder’s Quarom social and the Brother that spoke was great, Brother Richie. He was a great guy and has some fun stories. His mission President was Elder David B. Haight and he gave him three words of advice when he returned from his mission (I realize its a little late for Grandma and Grandpa, but I found these interesting):
1. Get an education.
2. Make a name for yourself…
3. …, so that you can be used (by the Lord).
Brother Richie combined those ideas with those of a successful businessman who said the key to his success was simple:
1. Get up early.
2. Work hard.
3. Find oil. meaning different things to different people, for example for Sandy “oil” might be the opportunity to buy Zions stock, for Humble it might be his new machine…
Anyway, Brother Richie combined those principles and applied them to his life and he was able to be “used” by the Lord through-out his life and at a relatively young age.
Sorry for the lecture but I thought those were principles worthy of passing along. I would also like to point out that when I attended the “Get Motivated” seminar nothing they said there was as powerful as what Brother Richie lectured, accompanied with the spirit on Saturday night.
Well I’ve rambled long enough, but real quick the girls are constantly praying for the missionaries and for Grandma and Grandpa Cook. We all love you and miss you and are so glad that you are serving the Lord, and are able to be “used”. Thanks for the wonderful examples and thanks for sharing your experiences from the mission field, we love to feel the missionary spirit that accompanies each experience.
Love, the Heber Cooks
