Several days ago we recieved this letter from Rebecca Lewis Russell. You might be aware of Rebecca's weekly column in the local paper. Or perhaps you have noticed her and her husband (along with their three adorable kids) at any one of our previous ward family activities. It's always fun to see and hear from her, and it was particularly enjoyable to recieve an email this week titled GRATITUDE - that she hoped we could share with all of you:
Dear Members of Fifth Ward,
My family and I would just like to say Thank you and how grateful we are to always be welcomed at your activities even though we are not members of your Church. We truly enjoy spending time with you and look forward to much fellowship in the future.
Sincerely,
Ian and Rebecca Lewis-Russell and girls

And now (as if Rebecca's letter was not motivational enough), another thought
for you on this cold Monday morning:
"Progress, and improve upon and make beautiful everything around you. Cultivate the earth, and cultivate your minds. Build cities, adorn your habitations, make gardens, orchards, and vineyards, and render the earth so pleasant that when you look upon your labors you may do so with pleasure, and that angels may delight to come and visit your beautiful locations. In the mean time continually seek to adorn your minds with all the graces of the Spirit of Christ." - Brigham Young

HAPPY MONDAY!!!!
