I hope everyone had a Happy Easter. The weather here didn't seem like Easter, it felt more like Christmas. Ron and I enjoyed listening to General Conference. The messages were great and we are so blessed to have the restored gospel upon the earth with a prophet that is leading and guiding this great church. I am going to try to be a better person and apply the messages from conference in my life.

John said in his letter this week: "I also hope that everyone took the opportunity to listen to the words of the prophet. It isn´t too often that we have that opportunity, and what an opportunity it is! The spirit testifies to me every time that I tell people that we have a living prophet that speaks with God. How wonderful a blessing that is!"

Brinley will celebrate her 1st birthday on Wednesday. I can't believe she is going to be a year old. I am grateful for all of my grandchildren and the blessing they are in my life. I love each one !!

I tried a new recipe this past week and I thought I would share it with you.

1. Heat oven to 350 degrees. Beat together eggs, and milk in a medium
bowl; stir in hash browns, onions, salt, and hot pepper sauce.
