Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountains majesties above the fruited plan! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.
We had a wonderful 4th of July weekend starting with our ward flag ceremony and breakfast, then the Rexburg Parade. Saturday evening we went to Driggs to the Huntsmen celebration. The BYU-I orchastra performed a concert then Glen Beck gave and inspiring address on the constitution and Gods hand in preparing, preserving, and protecting this land for a rightious and good people. The music and fireworks were beautiful and the setting below the Tetons was spectatular! (It was cold and I loved the cute little girl with her pink ear muffs and she did have little snow boots on, that's how we dress to celebrate the fourth in Idaho). Today was wonderful to attend church on the fourth and give gratitude and praise to our Heavenly Father for this great Nation and the restored gospel in this free land thru testimonies, music and wonderful lessons on our Great Nation!
