Ezra Taft Benson -

As a watchman on the tower, I feel to warn you that one of the chief means of misleading our youth and destroying the family unit is our educational institutions. President Joseph F. Smith referred to false educational ideas as one of the three threatening dangers among our Church members.

1, 2, 3 strikes your out at the old ball game

We love a great ball game! Our 11 yr. old daughter and our 10 year old son play softball and baseball and love it. Between April and June we spend most nights at the ball park. Last night was back to back games.

First was Ricky's game at 5:00pm. Sorry no pics of that game. Rick was coaching and I was keeping score. Ricky is becoming a great pitcher! He gets better with each game. He has worked hard at home to get more accurate and it is paying off. He has been working on hitting as well and last night he hit a great ball in left center field! I love to see him work hard. His team won 10-7.

Next was Taylor's game at 8:00pm. She has been working hard at home as well. She walked her first at bat and stole second. Then on a wild throw she tried to steal third. She hesitated a bit and then ran hard to third and slide right under the fielders mit! SAFE! I think the whole town heard me scream! Her next at bat she went down swinging. At her third at bat she SMACKED a line drive at first base. I screamed then, as well! Her team won 8-2.

Both games were so much fun to watch. I am really proud of their hard work.
