"I don't want to drive up to the pearly gates in a shiny sports car, wearing beautifully, tailored clothes, my hair expertly coiffed, and with long, perfectly manicured fingernails. I want to drive up in a station wagon that has mud on the wheels from taking kids to scout camp. I want to be there with a smudge of peanut butter on my shirt from making sandwiches for a sick neighbors children. I want to be there with a little dirt under my fingernails from helping to weed someone's garden. I want to be there with children's sticky kisses on my cheeks and the tears of a friend on my shoulder. I want the Lord to know I was really here and that I really lived."

— Marjorie Pay Hinckley

The Marshall Islands!!

My sister-in-law just got her mission call to the Marshall Islands. The family did a little poll to guess before she received it and my brother-in-law guessed Tahiti, only because they speak french there. The rest of us were so far away it isn't even funny!! Wow, I remember serving on Terceira, Azores and I told her how wonderful islands are. I think if I could move anywhere in the world I would pick a small island. Not like Hawaii, a few of their islands have skyscrapers and look to be very big cities. No, I'd pick Terceira or one like it, life seems so much slower and the craziness of life seems to seep into the water instead of into your life!!
