Hello Myrna,    3/10/15

I write tons.  A day without writing would be like a day without sunshine.So writing you would not be a problem.

*I asked you in my last letter if you remembered Camille’s illegitimate child Danica?*

I appreciate your willingness to apologize.

Thank you for the booklet and the letter.

It Can’t Happen to Me

James E. Faust, April 2002 General Conference

"One of the great myths in life is when men think they are invincible. Too many think that they are men of steel, strong enough to withstand any temptation. They delude themselves into thinking, “It cannot happen to me.” Borrowing a thought from Bertrand Russell, “We are all like the turkey who wakes up [Thanksgiving] morning expecting lunch as usual. Things can go wrong at any time.” 1 Brethren, it can happen to any of us at any time. So much of our course in life is influenced by forces we only partly perceive." #8 font ^^Times New Roman

Dear Are the Sheep That Have Wandered

James E. Faust, April 2003 General Conference

"When my wise mother-in-law saw other children misbehaving, she used to say, “I never say my children would not do that because they might be out doing it right while I am speaking!”"

Loyalty

Gordon B. Hinckley, April 2003 General Conference

"Very recently a certain moving picture was acclaimed the best of the year. I have not seen it, nor do I anticipate doing so. But I am told that it is laden with sex, that the use of profanity runs throughout."

Loyalty

Gordon B. Hinckley, April 2003 General Conference

"You, of course, have heard of the man who lived to a ripe old age and was asked by reporters to what he attributed his longevity. He replied that when he and his wife were married they determined that if they argued, one would leave the house and go outside. He said, “Gentlemen, I attribute my longevity to the fact that I have breathed so much fresh air during all these many years.”"

Parents: The Prime Gospel Teachers of Their Children

By Tad R. Callister, October 2014 General Conference

"I remember my mother, age 90 or so, cooking in her condominium kitchen and then exiting with a tray of food. I asked her where she was going. She replied, “Oh, I am taking some food to the elderly.” I thought to myself, “Mother, you are the elderly.” I can never express enough gratitude for my parents, who were my prime gospel teachers."

The Finished Story

Gayle M. Clegg, April 2004 General Conference

"Years ago one of our daughters asked me to come outside and play tetherball with her.

She told me to sit down and watch as she hit over and over again a ball on a rope that wound itself around a pole. After watching several windings I asked what my part was in the game, and she said, “Oh, Mom, you say, ‘Good job, good job,’ every time the ball goes around the pole.”"[I don't understand why this story has been going through my mind this last week.2/24/15 And then to hear it this morning was like an answer to, I wonder where that story is?] #8 font ^^

Three Choices

Joseph B. Wirthlin, October 2003 General Conference

"Recently, I have noticed the large number of self-improvement programs that are available. There must be a tremendous demand for these products, because one can scarcely turn on the television or radio without seeing or hearing promotions for products that promise everything from losing weight to growing a lush crop of thick hair. At times I wonder if the people who make these products know me personally."

I experiment all the time and as we get older our eyesight fails. I am writing this in size 8 font.

Now I am writing in size 9 font. And for my grand finale here comes size 10

Why would anyone ever want to write in size 3 or 4 font? Let alone 1 or 2 which I did not even sample! Answer: It saves space. I have an inmate friend I write who is in Purgatory Jail for 4 years. They outlawed letters last year so now I have to send post cards!
