Happy Easter!

Dad invited a new guy upstairs for Easter dinner and then he thought that he had invited the Boren's but their 2 kids are here. Anyway, he hadn't invited them, but I invited all 4 of them, we had ordered a big ham. Then we invited Jean from upstairs also. So that was eight, we ended up with 13!
Borens' kids decided to go to Xi'an so Dad invited another couple to come and then the kids couldn't get tickets to Xi'an so they stayed on the guest list. And Dad had invited Joseph from upstairs, single, hungry. Then Joseph asked if his girlfriend could come!
As we were getting ready to eat Joseph called to say that a girl from our Branch had had her computer stolen from her backpack while she was waiting for a bus (they unzipped her backpack and took it. Not one of the 30 people around her said anything until it was over) She was a little upset. So Joseph and his girlfriend went to get her and brought her back to our house.
We have seating and plates for eight. So Nelson brought some down from their place and we were fine. We still have lots of ham left, but nothing is left of the mashed potatoes, yams, stuffing or deviled eggs! We had a good time and that's all that counts. Nelson's son said that he didn't expect to eat so well in China. They do have good pork in China, and other things too!
We ate dinner at a restaurant Sat. night. It was really good! It's advertised as a Cuban restaurant. The owner is from Portugal . The food was good and not too expensive. We went with the Ferrrels and Johnsons.
Sacrament was good today. As I listened to Shawn haltingly say the Sacrament prayer in English I was reminded to "always remember Him and keep his commandments". May you hear those words today too and take them into your heart. These are the covenants you renew each week; the same ones you made when you were baptized. These are the promises you made.
Then in Rel. Soc. we heard the words of Pres. George Albert Smith that "eternity doesn't begin after this life but that mortality is a part of eternity." Each day we choose to go towards eternal happiness or eternal disappointment. I hope you're all going in the right direction because I want you to be with me forever!
I Love You so much! Mom XXOO
