Kirk James has completed his studies and now
has time to spend before his final exams. Eric and I therefore flew to Salt Lake on
Friday evening to bring him to Seattle.
It was a joyful and fun time for all of us. We thoroughly enjoyed each other
and the weather was great.
Kirk talked
to his mother and me about bringing Holly (his girlfriend) to Seattle for the summer. He felt that it would
be good for Holly and himself to spend the summer in the environment of our
family life. I am thrilled and grateful that he would contemplate this. I think
they are contemplating marriage and Kirk wants Holly to experience and see the
type of family life we are now enjoying. How can I ever thank my Father in
heaven enough for allowing me to capture the essence of true family life as He
has intended it to be for His children here on earth.
It now
appears that Leland and Shirli desire to stay here in Seattle. I know that this will be a
disappointment to both of their parents but on the other hand I feel that it
will expand the Spirit of family unity to a greater number of people in our
family. Oh! – How I long to have us maintain this wonderful blessing and build
upon it. I truly believe that if we continue this way we will be capable of
living the law of consecration without difficulty. My heart yearns for us to be
involved in a family business of some type. I wonder if the Lord is directing
me by the Spirit to constantly contemplate such an endeavor. It will come to
pass if this is the Lord’s will for us and if we obey his commandments.
[Multiple letters enclosed from Evelyn Schwiermann, Tim
Walker, Bob Backstein, and Ted Ferrenburg (sp?). Kirk notes, about these
letters that they are “meaningful and pertinent to my life”. ]
