“Somewhere in your quest for spiritual knowledge, there is that ‘leap of faith,’ as the philosophers call it. It is the moment when you have gone to the edge of the light and step into the darkness to discover that the way is lighted ahead for just a footstep or two.”

Mark and I felt strongly that we were supposed to moved to Vegas after graduation from BYU. We thought we were coming here to eventually go to dental school. Little did we know the Lord had different plans for us. It's a really long story and I want to spare you all the details, so suffice it to say, during the last two months numerous experiences and many people we have met have lead us to the conclusion that the Lord wants Mark to go into Nursing. So as often happens years of prepartion has leads us down an entirely different path then we have planned. We know the Lord led us to Las Vegas to meet the right people and have experiences to lead us the right way.
We are exicted to move forward and know what is right. We would tell you the details of our plans but they are subject to change. :) Stay tuned for more.

wow! I can only imagine how exciting/scary all those changes are.
Good luck you guys, that is amazing...it takes very special people to be in the nursing field...it is amazing what Heavenly Father has in store for all of us.
Hey there. Isn't it crazy how plans change? But we don't always know why 'til later. Good luck guys.
It's amazing how things happen the way they should--and most often not the way we plan on them happening! Congrats on the change, and good luck!
In response to the quote: I love President Packer! I love that you two are taking the leap! Doesn't it feel good?
On another note...
I was watching PBS with David the other day and between shows this guy named Steve comes out and sing a song. Ben and I were contemplating on what his long term goals should be or employment. Anyway, this guy Steve sang, "You can be anything, anything you want to be. You can be anything at all."
For one reason or another, this was an answer to me that especially when times are tough with the Lord's help we can do anything.
Ben's home with the movie! later :)

Hey guys, I think that will be an awesome plan. Clendon and I have a good friend who lived in Vegas for several years working as a paramedic and at the same time getting his nursing degree. He might have some ideas on schools, etc. If you're interested give us a call. He currently lives in St. George working as a nurse in the ER and on Life flight.
In our stake conference in Monterey, CA Elder Scott told us to always be prepared to "turn left" b/c the Lord can change things so quickly and I am so grateful to be able to have those "turn left" experiences (even though they are hard hard hard)
