Well Brett only has a couple weeks left in his semester with his final exam being on the 22 of this month! I am not as lucky I still have tests and such until the first week in May. By the time I am done with my school he will be ready to go back to his! We are having a great time here and are really loving life. This past week we had a new nephew! his name is Cameron. He is very cute and healthy! Two weeks ago Brett volunteered with a group from his school at the health fair here in town. He helped with eye and ear examinations. It was really neat to see the students helping in the community. They all looked so nice and professional. The eye and ear exams were a big hit, I think it may have something to do with the handsome medical students performing the exams. I really enjoyed being there with Brett and I actually was able to help in my own little way.
I held the eye chart up for the people to read as they covered one eye and then the next. The funny thing was that Brett has been using glasses lately. His eyes get a little strained from reading and studying all day. At the health fair he had forgot to take his glasses and so the patients are reading the best they can and Brett is also trying his best to make out the tiny letters on the chart. 
Sometimes he would lean in to make sure the patient got it right. If you go to thebahamasweekly.com you can read an article about Ross University and the health fair. There is a large picture of Brett doing an exam and if you look close at the other pics I think I am in he background of one holding up the eye chart. All in all I feel like it was good for the community and even better for the students to help out!
Wasn't conference great! I missed a little of the saturday morning session but overall we got it all! I remember growing up and the whole family would gather in the living room and watch conference, I remember doing that since forever ago. Props to my parents for getting all of us to stay and listen. I know that couldn't have been easy. Also props to both our parents for making conference a priority. Both Brett and I feel like conference is a very important thing that we need to take advantage of. I know this has everything to do with the way we were raised. There are so many people out there tha feel like conference is a day off. But how could you do anything else when you know the prophets of the lord are going to be giving a message to the world... why would you want to miss out on that? we don't understand it. We hope all is well!
