Friday night, David and I went to see the movie "UP". We both give it two thumbs up! It is absolutely precious--great story line, the animation is amazing, etc. Such a family friendly movie and very entertaining!

On Saturday, we went down into the DC area and had dinner with a friend of ours, Andy Bullard. We ate at Macaroni Grill--YUM! I love pasta--could eat it every day! Then, we went to see "Night at the Museum 2"--was pretty good/entertaining. I don't really remember the first one, but I was pleasantly surprised by the sequel.

We went to Alexandria, VA. on Sunday for church. There are more people meeting now, which is great. James Van Biber gave a really good sermon about love--how we should love all people--that through that love, we are loving God also. He read the Scripture out of Matthew about feeding the hungry, visiting those in prison, etc. That really hit home to me--we need to constantly focus on others. I know that when I'm serving others, I'm so much happier--not just because I'm serving God, but it also feels good to bring joy to someone's life. So, it is my mission here to find a great place to volunteer at. I do long to be a servant for Christ.

Laura Van Biber is the best hostess ever! She always makes a feast for us when we come on Sundays. We had fish tacos yesterday--they were absolutely amazing. (soft fried taco shells, fried/grilled tilapia, a great mayonnaise like tartar sauce to put on the taco, and cabbage/cheese to put on top--seriously, so yummy!) She also made homemade banana foster bread pudding--delicious--oh, and with homemade ice cream!!! We have so much fun sitting and talking while we're eating and afterward. The fellowship is so special.

I find out about the SF interview this week--please continue to pray for those who are making the decision. I'm trying to "trust and obey!"

*Maryland taxes are crazy high!
*gas is 2.69
*watermelon (whole) is 5.99
*I'm reading through the Book of Mormon again, Into the Latter Day Light (again), and Charlotte's Web--such a great book!
*it rains about once a day here :)

Well, that's all for now. We hope you all are well and wish you God's blessings!

Love,
Libby and David
