Congratulations Jeannie on getting your driving permit... A step closer to independence!
Mom still thinks it's a bit too early to drive, but we trust you and know that you are a safe and responsible driver! Don't fail your vision test again, or else you will be sent to the optometrist like last time! :D

Fireside with Sister Beck
Sister Beck from the General authority came to visit our stake last week; so Johnny and I had a chance to visit her at the special fireside. She is so sweet, so awesome and so spiritual! We even had the opportunity to chat with her for a little bit after the fireside. I felt great around her presence!!!
Here are a few things that I learned from her that evening:
Lesson 1: All answers pertaining our life can be found in the scriptures.
It was impressive to me how Sister Beck answers all questions from the audience using her scriptures. The scriptures taught us true principals. There is power in it; and it will be beneficial to our lives if we study it everyday.
Lesson 2: Promise to study daily.
Sister Beck shared with us that some point in her life, she made a promised to the Lord that she would "spend some time reading the scripture everyday". At first, I thought it would be a challenge for me. But then, she said that some days we might read 5 mins, other days we read a few chapters, or at times might be even 5 verses... but the goal is to read it everyday.
Lesson 3: Maintaining the spirit while raising our children..... again through the companionship of the holy spirit.
One of her excellent talks in 2007 tilted "Mothers Who Know" gives a full insight on the role of motherhood in our days.

BYU Soar camp!
Yet another great news!!!! Jeannie made it to the BYU soar camp for this summer. I seriously thought she wouldn't make it since there were 500 applicants, and only 300 got selected. She will have a chance to check out the school, and a life experience of living on campus. It will be good...
Judge not, that ye be not judged!
Good news... the lady who was involved in the car accident survived!!! According to the insurance agent, the woman's insulin level was low when she was driving. She first ran into Johnny's car, then crashed to a wall sign and broke a few ribs and bones as a result. She's been discharged!!!
This is such a relief. I am happy that she is alive! Anyhow... the lesson that I learn here found in Matthew 7:1-2.
"Judge not, that ye be not judged. For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged; and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again."
Before the investigation, Johnny and I both thought the woman was on drug or alcohol, and we agreed on the consequence of causing her life was just too big to imagine. However, we had a total different view on this matter ever since we found out the cause of the accident was due to her illness. We have no right to judge whether it was under influence or not. A life is a life, and she deserves to live.
I am thankful to learn such an important principal again!

Accident!
Johnny came home last night and told me that he was involved in a car accident. He was calm when he said it, and the fact that he went and played badminton afterwards sent me an idea that the accident was not a major one. Then I started questioning about if he was ok, how it happened and whether the other driver was alright.... and to my surprise. He said, "I hope she survive!" My heart sank when he said that. Why? What do you mean? Are you serious? Are there other cars involved? I asked a bunch of questions and then Johnny took out his blackberry and showed me a picture of the other driver's car. I couldn't believe my eyes. That was a scary scene.
According to Johnny, the lady hit him on the side door behind the driver's seat. As he was pulling over to the side, this lady accelerated her car and started driving on the opposite lane. The cars on the opposite direction slowed down. Not soon after, the car ran into a big piece of rock and bounced back off to the street. Two witnesses went and pulled the lady out of her car while Johnny pulled over. Within minutes, the firetruck and ambulance arrived; so Johnny never got a chance to see the lady. He and several witnesses gave a detailed report to the police and Johnny drove himself to the Y afterwards. We both felt terrible for what happened, and we hope and pray that she made it through!
I am just so grateful for the Lord for watching over my husband and in preserving his life! Life is too fragile and we must learn to fully appreciate it everyday!
There's a slight discrepancy I found from the news. Johnny's car was damaged on the side, but not the rear bumper as described.

Answer From Jady
Sister Rothxxx told me a funny story about Jady last Sunday.
Sister Rothxx: What is the name of the hill where Nephi's record was burried?
My 4-yr old raised her little hand and said, "My sandals match my dress!"
Sister Rothxx burst out laughing....
She is definitely my girly girl! :D
