It has been a wonderful summer! Mark and I have done so many fun things. I went to Europe. Mark took the MCAT

A friend gave me a book to read. it is called "Fertile in our Faith". It is meant to be a support to women in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints who struggle with infertility. I would strong recommend it to anyone burdened with this trial. It even has ideas for family and friends of people like me who struggle with this :) One of my favorite chapters so far is about nurturing a family of two. The chapter begins with a poem by William Blake (1757-1827):

"Love seeketh not itself to please,
Nor for itself hath any care,
But for another gives it ease,
And builds a Heaven in Hell's despair"

I love my dear sweet husband. I love working to make our home a heaven and even though we don't have any children right now I know that in the Lord's due time we will have children. The Lord has witnessed to me in prayer that I will one day have children. I simply have to be patient and lean upon the Lord.
