Prayers Wouldn't Hurt

I just got this as an email forward and figured it wouldn't hurt to post here so that everyone who reads this can help in the fasting and prayers.

200,000 Gay Protestors to Disrupt General Conference

I was speaking with a good friend today who's dad works for the Salt Lake City Police Department. My friend asked him how things were going for him at work and he said that he'd been putting in extra hours doing riot control training. He asked what on earth were they doing that for, and he told him that the entire police force was going through an additional 10 hours of mandatory riot control training because the city is bracing for an influx of 10,000 to 200,000 Gay protesters that want to disrupt this coming General Conference. I asked how does your dad know how many people will be showing up. He said that the protest permits had already been applied for and that the police, in doing a little intelligence gathering off of the groups websites, found out that they are "strenuously striving" to get as many people there as possible. The 200,000 number is the goal that they want to have on Conference weekend. But what really worries the police are that the gay protest groups have aligned themselves with a couple of anarchist groups who make it their goal in life to cause as much trouble as possible. These are the groups that show up at protests and you have anarchists running through the streets throwing bricks, Molotov Cocktails, and what not, breaking windows, burning cars and businesses, and attacking innocent citizens and by standers. Their only goal is to provoke a reaction from the police and the citizenry. Can you imagine this going on while Church members are standing in line waiting to enter the Conference Center ? His dad further said that the Salt Lake Police in discussing what happened in California with the police there were informed of some of the inflammatory tactics that the gay protesters used down there including ripping up Book of Mormons, having people parade around wearing only temple garments or wearing them in comb with typical homosexual drag queen clothing. WOW WHAT A SIGHT. Anyway, the police are planning on canceling all leave to have every officer on hand for the conference, and depending on how many people start showing up and call in the Utah National Guard. Unless something unforeseen happens this is shaping up to be a major event for the police, the Church, and all major news broadcasters.

My Very Own Knifty Knitter

Since it looks like we will be here awhile and everyone either works or goes to school around here I decided yesterday that I needed to get some toys from the DI for McKenna so she could have something besides her baby and monkey to play with and while I was out decided I needed something for myself to do. I thought about going and buying stuff to make hair clips but I have so much of it at home that seemed just silly. So I bought a loom and some yarn! My first attempt last night did not go as well as I hoped it would have and I realized I am not sure how to finish off the hat I am knitting so I turned to the internet! I will have to post pictures if I am not deeply embarassed by the final project.
Car News:
It is in Idaho Falls now, my mom went and towed it yesterday. I paid my friend who is kind enough to work on it for me. So now it is just the waiting game. It really couldn't have happened at a better time or place. So everyday or night when I miss Jon I have to remind myself of that. We will be home soon with a rebuilt engine, how nice is that!?

Trip to Grandma Hurt's

So these next few posts will be from my parents house in Idaho Falls due to my motor seizing up Friday night while Jon was on his way here. Oh well, what better place to get stranded, right? Jon rode the bus back to Salt Lake on Sunday so he could work and go to school. So one of my friends from high school is willing to help us out and rebuild my engine for much cheaper then it would cost to take it to a shop. It will take longer but McKenna and I get to spend more time with Grandma. To bad for Jon the Wii is up here! We will miss daddy but it will be a fun couple weeks!

I know

Its been forever since I touched this thing. I am just not sure if anyone actually looks at it, oh well its a good "journal" for me. There will be updates to follow, just keep posted.
