Feeling Patriotic

Good morning!  Ugh!  I'm not so sure about that.  I didn't get much sleep last night.  There is a despredtador (alam clock) that keeps going off in my head.

Last night at the Devotional, Elder John H. Groberg spoke.  His topic was Joseph Smith and his influence.  He also talked quite a bit about the importance of bearing witness of his divine calling.  He also talked about journals.

Just before he spoke the choir sang "The Battle Hymn Of The Republic".  I don't know why music affects me so much but it sure does.  During the song I just closed my eyes and thought of all the things that mean America to me.  Being able to do anything you want to practically

I thought a lot about Snowmass when I was there alone and when I prayed to Heavenly Father.  That for some reason comes to mind when I think of America.

Towards the end of Elder Groberg's talk, I once again started thinking of my father.  I think that I am just beginning to realize how important he is to me.  I hope and pray that I can develop the faith necessary to know that he will come to a knowledge of the truth, and accept it.

I just realized that some of my sentences are starting to look weird.  I can attribute that to thinking in Spanish.  All my sentences are coming out backwards and I suppose it will get worse.

I have writer's cramp already and I still have about 8 zillion letters to write!
