People, people, people

I don't have any pictures of todays highlighted person.  But here's a shout out to Letha and Garth
We met Letha and Garth while we were in Hawaii.  They were probably pushing 90, if not already there.  Letha was finishing her degree (one class at a time), and they lived in student housing.  Garth once told us the story of when he met Letha.  He explained that so many other "heros" were crowded around her trying to get her attention, but that he knew that she had to be his.  As he told the story, Letha blushed like it was just yesterday.  They had 7 children together, and were still madly in love 55 + years later. They were the cutest old couple that you have ever seen. 
Some old people act superior, or disappointed at young people's efforts in raising a family.  Letha was never this way.  She didn't expect you to have everything together, and always had a cute story about some blunder that she had with her children that somehow put your current struggle into perspective.  She starts every sentence with, "do you know..." For example, Letha taught me one of the greatest lessons.  She started out with the classic "do you know..."  Then she went on to explain that with 7 small children, a house to maintain, and a million other things to do, there often came time when scripture study and prayer were overlooked.  But she said that they learned that even if they found the time for one verse together their life was much happier.  She explained that at first she felt ashamed that if they didn't have a lot of time to commit, they would just skip it all together.  But in her wisdom she said that even if they read one word of scripture, that meant that her children her one word from God and wouldn't we want our children to have that blessing every day?
Letha and Garth you are shining examples of what a family should be.  Letha I hope you graduate.   And Garth, you are the hero that won Letha forever.
