Incarceration of Women in Oklahoma
"one of the highest per capita rates -- 129 per 100,000 residents, a figure that is right behind Texas, the federal system and California. Oklahoma's imprisonment of women rose a stunning 1,237 percent from 1997 to 2004."

LaRita Aragon Picked to Run OU's Advanced Programs
Advanced Programs was established in 1964 as part of the university's continuing education and public service commitment. OU's College of Continuing Education pioneered the intensive teaching format, which includes advanced class preparation, a one- or two-weekend class session and post-class work. In all aspects except time, Advanced Programs courses are identical to those taught on the Norman campus, officials said. Thousands of men and women throughout the world have completed their degrees through Advanced Programs and OU Outreach. The program serves personnel at 31 military bases in North America, Europe and Asia, offering 10 master's degree programs and one doctoral program in organizational leadership.

State Senator Susan Paddack (D-Ada) Honored
The Oklahoma Professional Economic Development Council recently named Paddack as their 2007 Legislative Advocate of the Year.
The Council's announcement reads in part:
The Oklahoma Professional Economic Development Council is a statewide organization of economic development professionals and advocates promoting a competitive business climate in Oklahoma through legislative initiatives, coalition building and professional development. View OEDC's press release here.
Paddack has shown she is a true advocate for business in her voting record, her support of education and workforce issues and for her support last year in voting for tort reform, an issue that has been high on OEDC's legislative agenda for several years," stated Yowell. "We appreciate Senator Paddack's dedication to education issues because we as economic developers know that education means a better workforce and makes Oklahoma more competitive in the global economic development arena."
Paddack joins a list of distinguished past recipients including Co-President Pro-Tempore Senator Glenn Coffee, Representative Susan Winchester, former Speaker of the House Todd Hiett, Representative Clay Pope, Senator Scott Pruitt, Senator Dave Herbert, Senator Jim Maddox, former House Speaker Lloyd Benson, Representative Jack Bonny, Senator Ted Fisher and Representative Don McCorkell.

Remembering Wanda Bass
Remembering Terry D: Can Yet Another Lawsuit Against DHS Protect Children in the State's Custody?
Click here to read today's Tulsa World article and The Oklahoman article.
Will it once again take court intervention to improve how Oklahoma treats children placed in the custody of the State? Does anyone remember the "Terry D" case that challenged how Oklahoma treated emotionally disturbed and dependent children including "incorrigibles" and runaways (today we call them "children in need of treatment")?
The State of Okahoma took "Terry D" away from his mentally ill mother and alcoholic father when he was 9. After several unsuccessful placements in foster homes, he was declared a "dependent and neglected child" and was placed in a state reform school. When he was 15, a class action suit was brought by three civil liberty groups on behalf of "Terry D" and 7 other juveniles. The suit against DHS and its chief administrator, Lloyd E. Rader, charged that over 900 juveniles were being held in and abused at state "training schools." These emotionally disturbed children had never committed a crime yet were being housed with juvenile delinquents.
In 1982, the Oklahoma Legislature passed HB 1468 that brought about sweeping reforms. Five state training schools were closed and the Legislature created the Oklahoma Commission on Children and Youth (OCCY) to conduct unannounced, independent monitoring of children and youth held in the state system. (In the 1980's while working at OSU's Policy Sciences Group, I was privileged to help OCCY design inspection survey instruments and analyze the data OCCY staff collected during their unannounced visits to children's facilities. I also worked on a study for Governor Henry Bellman on how "children in need of treatment" were being treated by Oklahoma's court system.)
So, yes - I am old enough to remember the Terry D lawsuit and the stories that came out regarding abuse and neglect of children held in state institutions. I still have a copy of "Hearings before the Subcommittee on Juvenile Justice of the Committee on the Judiciary, United States Senate, 97th Congress, 2nd Session on Allegations of Serious Abuses and Misconduct in the Detention of Juveniles in Institutions Maintained in the Oklahoma Department of Human Services, Feb 11, May 26 and 27, 1982. Serial No. J-97-95." It was not Oklahoma's finest hour.
One other great institution came out of this period. In response to the Terry D case, the Gannett Foundation provided a $50,000 grant to establish what became the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy. You can read remarks by OICA's excellent Executive Director Anne Roberts on the history of child advocacy in Oklahoma here.
The "Terry D" case was about children held in state institutions and I want to believe that DHS (with OCCY watching over them) does a much better job with those children today. This new lawsuit is about children in Oklahoma's foster care system. Children's Rights notes in their suit that in the last 5 years, Oklahoma has twice been rated the worst program in the nation in terms of children being abused while in foster care. How will Oklahoma fare this time through the courts? Watch and see. And watch the Oklahoma Legislature, too. Will our elected officials vote against additional funding for our state's foster care and adoption programs while voting for more money for roads and bridges? Money talks. Watch how we allocate our state funds and you'll understand Oklahoma's true priorities.
(And if all of this shames and/or upsets you, show where your own personal priorities are by making a financial contribution to the Oklahoma Institute for Child Advocacy!)

Oklahoma Gets "A" on Teen Dating Violence Prevention
The report cards are designed to draw attention to the discrepancies between the protections afforded to adult victims of violence as compared to teen victims. States were graded on an A through F scale. Those states that do not allow minors to obtain restraining orders were given an automatic failure.
Fifteen states received an "F", while only three - California, New Hampshire and Oklahoma - received "A's." Along with the grades, Break the Cycle released recommendations for improvement of state domestic violence laws. Click here to read the Oklahoma Summary and the full report.

"We were buried therefore with him by baptism into death, in order that, just as Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father, we too might walk in newness of life."~ Romans 6:4 (ESV ~ emphasis Iris')
Iris, at Sting My Heart (http://www.eph2810.com/), has come up with a wonderful thankful theme and list today. She talks about "change." Oh, sometimes, to some of us, this can be a dreadful word! Who likes change? But think about it. If the caterpillar never underwent change, how would we be able to cast our eyes upon the beautiful butterfly? Aren't our lives as Christians similar? For all of you who have already given your lives to Christ for eternity, let's imagine the caterpillar was our pre-saved state. Let's imagine that we gained the knowledge that our life was spotted, tarnished, ugly, sinful, we were unable to change it, out of control, etc., whether we appeared to be moral caterpillars or not. Something should tell us that we were in need of a major change. So we agree that change needs to happen. Like the caterpillar goes into a cocoon, we go into prayer, asking the God of second chances to do what only He can do--change the old creature into a new one. We go into prayer one way, and like the metamorphosized (changed) caterpillar now turned butterfly, we come out another way, something beautiful, something that will never be the same as it was before, our chains of bondage from sin are gone. We've been set free. We've been rescued from death to life. We've been ransomed. Our tarnished surface is polished. Our inward stains have been washed by the blood of the Lamb.
"Thank You Jesus for change!! If it had not been so for me, I'd be destined for an eternal hell, permanent separation from You. I would be useless for the Kingdom, even now as I live on earth. Good morals or not, I could never see You face to face, as these character traits can't get me to heaven (good character is just the outward manifestation of the fruit of the Spirit because of salvation). I would have no eternal rewards. You would never be able to say to me, "Well done, good and faithful servant." Even as a moral human being, all of my good works would be counted as filthy rags. But oh faithful and good God, not so for me. Because of the miraculous change that I underwent in my prayerful cocoon, because of your loving me and pursuing me first, because I answered, because I realized that I'm nothing without You and You're everything to me and for me, some day, I will go from this life to eternal life with You. I will, like the butterfly, get to try out my new body and live eternally sinless. I will behold the beauty that is You, Lord. Thank You Abba Father." Well now, CHANGE is good!
For the sake of Iris's theme, I used change, because we are new (or changed) creatures when we are redeemed by the blood, but let's look a little deeper. Are our lives changed or EXCHANGED? In all actuality, our lives are exchanged with Christ's. We exchange our lives for His. We willingly give ourselves over. Jesus paid it all and in return, we give it all--our lives for the paid ransom. It's like an exchange done at the agreed upon meeting spot in a kidnapping--the person for the money. Picture the kidnapper shoving the person toward the person with the suitcase full of money, and at the same time or simultaneously, the person with the suitcase shoves it over to the kidnapper. "I'll give you what I have in exchange for what you have." Jesus went from life as a man to death on the Cross in exchange for our sins. He took our sins upon Himself. In exchange, we earned freedom. In salvation, we give our lives to Christ, He gives us eternity and life with Him. "Thank You Lord, for the EXCHANGE! What a gift!!"
These are the things that I'm thankful for today. What about you? Click on Iris' link above and see what others are thankful for as well.

The battle over the medical chart!
There is a battle going on in medicine these days and as patients it is very important that you know what is happening. I don't know if you saw the Seinfeld episode where Elaine wants to see what is on her doctor's chart. It is actually very entertaining to watch the comedy surrounding what Elaine sees as her doctor's ability to write anything he wants seemingly without her control. Fortunately, patients have access to their charts and have control. But the battle I am talking about has to do with hospital charts. Each day doctors, nurse and anyone involved with an in patient's care writes notes as a way to communicate information to other healthcare providers –information that is crucial for your healthcare. But, long after discharge the government and other payers for care look at the notes and determine what they will pay for your hospitalization. The battle is that the notes are potentially being used to generate payments. We need to return to a time when the charts were used to help people get better ..not justify fees.

How States Can Help Bring Down Obamacare
States can and should help end Obamacare whether Congress does its job, or not.Details
States can and should help end Obamacare whether Congress does its job, or not.Details
The unseemly legislative conduct (the Founders would have called it "corruptionâ€) leading up to the vote have communicated even to those previously not paying attention that federal politicians are now absolutely, utterly out of control. The majority in Congress has rendered it perfectly clear that there is no constitutional or legal restriction they will not violate.Details
If government would stick only to what it was authorized to do, and leave the rest to the people, most of our economic problems would resolve themselves.Details
The media, Congress, and the American public all seem to have accepted something that is patently untrue: namely, that foreign policy is the domain of the president and not Congress. This is absolutely not the case and directly contrary to what our founding fathers wanted.Details
Ron Paul: "A limited, constitutional government would not tempt special interests to buy the politicians who wield power."Details
Writes Ron Paul: "Congress created the Federal Reserve, yet it had no constitutional authority to do so."Details
We're experiencing a fundamental shift in national priorities – in the form of a rapid and pervasive expansion of government power over the private sector of the economy.Details
With the nation in the midst of an economic crisis, many groups and individuals are questioning the massive spending and so-called economic stimulus bills recently passed by Congress. This includes bailouts and appropriations known as earmarks and pork-barrel spending. Since the constitutionality of federal spending is never part of the debate, we need to re-visit Congress' power to tax and spend.Details
If asked, who has the final say in our government on the meaning of the Constitution, most people would say, the Supreme Court, but it this right?Details
The whole purpose of the Constitution is, was, and has been to define the government, to impose restraints on the government, and to guarantee personal freedoms.Details
by Walter E. Williams
Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis warned, "The greatest dangers to liberty lurk in the insidious encroachment by men of zeal, well meaning but without understanding." The freedom of individuals from compulsion or coercion never was, and is not now, the normal state of human affairs. The normal state for the ordinary person is tyranny, arbitrary control and abuse mainly by their own government. While imperfect in its execution, the founders of our nation sought to make an exception to this ugly part of mankind's history. Unfortunately, at the urging of the American people, we are unwittingly in the process of returning to mankind's normal state of affairs.Details
by Rep Ron Paul
With news this week that Congress is poised to consider a new stimulus package, I am forced to again ask a question that seems silly in Washington:Â How will we pay for this?
While a few Members of Congress have raised the issue, it certainly was not the primary concern of the House Budget Committee when they interviewed Ben Bernanke on Monday. And, when they did direct this question to the Chairman of the Federal Reserve, his answer was the standard rhetoric about how Congress needed to make tough choices. Needless to say, not many specifics were discussed.Details
The Constitution. Every issue, every time. No exceptions, no excuses.

How many times have you heard or read people state that getting married and having kids is pretty much the epitome of success (or at least suggesting that in a myriad of ways that it is)?
I'll be the first to admit that I was guilty of this attitude that marriage and having kids is the epitome of success. I believed that I should get a university degree, a career, then get married and have kids. Now that I'm 20 years old and going towards my final year of my degree, my mind is changing. I have come to the realisation that success is:
... achieving what you want to achieve.For the smart alec's that may say 'oh but getting a BTEC is not success' well it's a success if it's their goal and they've achieved it. Everyone has different goals and not everyone is aiming to get a £100k p/a job. Not everyone is capable of achieving such a feat so it's good that people are realistic about their goals (whatever they may be).
When I think back on what I used to believe, I look back with a bit of embarrassment but I excuse myself because I was young. Nearly everyone can get married and have kids so it's not exactly something brag worthy. What should ideally be classed as a success, is how well the kids are raised and how long the marriage lasts etc.
Anyhow, the bottom-line is, success shouldn't correlate with marriage or children and too often people try and use that as a measure of success (the people I have seen anyway).
For instance, you may have a career, your own home and a marriage. Your friend who is your age may have a career but still lives at home and she is not married. Why should people deem you (the person with the marriage, career and probably future kids) more successful? Just because you're married?
Not everyone is aiming for marriage and that person living with mummy and daddy may be living there because it's cheaper/more practical or because they just love living at home.
Does a marriage mean that you've been able to get someone and you won't die all alone? Therefore making you a much more attractive individual (looks and personality-wise) in comparison to your friend?
Does not being married mean no one's checking for you, making your personality and looks unappealing and therefore you'll die alone?
I don't believe that at all, yet people try and insinuate that all the time. I have seen and heard people use their marriage to appear mightier than those who aren't married: 'I'm better than you because I have a ring on my finger and a man in my bed'. Someone who seriously thinks this way should probably not be married.
Someone who chooses not to get married because they aren't ready or they're just taking it slow are being very responsible and people shouldn't scold them for that. Besides, not many relationships end in marriage. Less people are getting married these days because of cultural changes.
Oprah is one of those good examples of successful people that aren't married or haven't got any children, yet people insinuate that she must be feeling empty inside because of that. She appears to be doing just fine. Doesn't she have a girls school in South Africa? I think she took them shopping recently too. Those little girls look happy and they definitely look up to Oprah.
While the need to reproduce has been ingrained in us because it's an evolutionary survival mechanism for our genetic lineage, people are getting away more and more from what is natural to us. Times are changing, gender roles are changing and our culture is becoming more and more individualistic.
There's no doubt that parenthood can be a rewarding and exciting stage in life but seriously, parenthood and marriage is not for everyone and some people should be encouraged not to have any kids at all. I myself have doubts about having kids someday because the world is just that messed up. I wouldn't want them to have to endure what many other people are enduring. It's painful thinking about it.
And as if it's not awful enough to expect everyone to be married with kids before you deem them as successful, this is always used in the case of women. It's like a woman's sole purpose is to get tied down and birth kids left and right before they can be seen as successful. This may have been the case 60 years back (and in collectivist cultures today) but today it isn't the case and women have a lot more freedom and opportunities now, than they did back then.
Marriage isn't the end all, be all form of success and it is unfair to assume that everyone needs to get married or have children in order to live fulfilling lives. I'll probably get kicked for saying this but some people may even argue that they are leading more fulfilling lives because they have no kids. Human beings do not fit in a 'one-size fits all' box and that needs to be appreciated.

Hi, today is my first post on a blog. What am I going to say or want to say? What are you supposed to say on a blog. Well, I guess on the first day you should say who you are and why you are doing a blog. My name is Cheryl and my favorite thing in this world to do is knit and crochet. I first learned how to crochet from my grandmother when I was little. She got tired of finding her crochet items all messed up by me. So she gave me a ball of yarn and a needle and showed me. She was the best crocheter I have seen. She would look at something and crochet it up. Me, I need a pattern. My moms friend taught me to knit. Just the basic. I taught myself the rest of the knitting stitches. I love to do both.
A bit of history of myself. I am 56 years old. I am married to my best friend. We have been married for 13 years. I have a household of animals. 2 standard poodles, 2 cockatiels, 1 tortoise, 2 bearded dragons, a hermit crab and about 15 giant kois fish. I told you I had a housefull!!
I also have a little shop I started on Etsy. Go and visit if you like. www.etsy.com/shop/cherylsknits I am always knitting or crocheting something.
So, I guess this is it for now. If there is anything I can help you with please feel free to let me know. This is a exciting experience for me in blogging. Not sure how this works but will figure it out!!

All Those Vanished Engines
Dreamlike Confabulations: All Those Vanished Engines
All Those Vanished Engines (Excerpt)
Alternate History, Science Fiction || All Those Vanished Engines is an extraordinary, intense, compressed SF novel in three parts, each set in its own alternate-history universe. The novel's three sections are all rooted in Virginia and the Battle of the Crater, and are also grounded in the real history of the Park family, from differing points of view. The first section is set in the aftermath of the Civil War, in a world in which the Queen of the North has negotiated a two-nation settlement. The second, taking place in northwestern Massachusetts, investigates a secret project during World War II, in a time somewhat like the present. The third is set in the near-future United States, with aliens from history.

After years in the interior design field, I'm excited to have finally found products that are both environmentally responsible and totally gorgeous
Las Vegas, NV (Vocus) May 18, 2010
Pioneer Millworks will reveal its new, eco-friendly trade show booth at the upcoming 2010 Hospitality and Design Expo. The booth was designed and crafted entirely in their earth friendly shop using reclaimed and sustainable wood pieces and other elements that were recycled from their mill yard. After the booth runs its course, the wood will be re-used and re-purposed into other products. See the piece at the Sands Expo and Convention Center, booth number 429 in Las Vegas, May 18 through Sunday, May 23.
The Pioneer Millworks eco-friendly trade show booth uses a mixture of species including wood reclaimed from pickling vats, a mixture of Douglas fir and Cypress, that takes on a most extraordinary character as it steeps in the minerals released during pickling. The character is revealed during sanding and finishing as black mineral staining with other signs of the woods old career. Multiple panels of The Worlds Most Eco-Friendly Engineered Flooring in reclaimed Oak and Ash are featured in the display. The eco-friendly engineered flooring has thick reclaimed wear layers, no VOCs, FSC platform and more. It is revered for its stability and matches flawlessly with Pioneer Millworks solid reclaimed floors meaning it is ideal for multi-level commercial and home projects.
"After years in the interior design field, I'm excited to have finally found products that are both environmentally responsible and totally gorgeous," says Roblyn Powley, the newest member of the Pioneer Millworks design sales team. "Plus, Pioneer extends this ethos to our business culture, even our exhibit booths. I'm looking forward to sharing eco-focused ideas at the HD Expo."
Pioneer Millworks has a limited number of Hospitality and Design Expo passes that will be given away on a first come, first served basis to qualified attendees. Email or call today to reserve yours.
As the name reflects, Pioneer Millworks was a pioneer in the salvaged and reclaimed antique wood industry. They're proud to give old wood new life as flooring, millwork, cabinetry, and more. They fully source and manufacture in the USA from their shops in Oregon and New York in a way that's healthy for you, their employees, and the environment. Their products offer ecologically conscious homeowners, designers, and builders an alternative to non-sustainable flooring without compromising quality, character, or selection. Pioneer Millworks is FSC certified and Green America approved. All of their products are LEED point eligible.

I see that the Japanese government has admitted that they are currently overwhelmed by the damage caused by the earthquake, the tsunami and the nuclear disasters that they have had to deal with.
What a bunch of wimps. Why don't they ask the Republican party, right here in the Greatest Country on Earth, how to deal with these problems. Republicans could give them the answer immediately, and it's so simple, really. Cut taxes on the rich. That solves every problem.

This page was removed from the regular blog to respect the privacy of Elder Jimenez and others named in the letter.
no título bastaría para esta semana :) (Sept. 16, 2014)
Well! dear family of mine! in case you havent noticed.... life is insane! and this week has been no exeption, on the contrary! one of the CRAZIEST weeks of my life... i will not POSSIBLY be able to tell you everything that has happened through writing. im Still trying to get it all down in the journal... and im summarizing. so. bear with me through all the parts that dont make sense and all that i leave out. ok?
Yeah... so. monday and tuesday... normal days... mostly man... theres just too many details but we are gonna skip it all... starting on wednesday... Elder Jimenez got really depressed for nothing.... then somehow that depression turned in to anger. so yet again, he wasnt talking to me. nothing new. just a normal day in my life... we had appointments and visited people.
We woke up and we went to do our weekly planning session in the morning.. he wasnt talking to me which means i just did everything while he picked at his fingernails or did any other thing to distract himself while i just uselessly talked the plans out loud so that he would at least know what we were planning throughout the week. still, basically normal. ive done that like 4 times now. SO, we finished that. i was being very patient and i didnt say anything to him about anything bad... then we had to go really fast to help one of the sisters in the ward with something in her house, we were there for a bit and then we went back to the pension (apartment) to study a bit before lunchtime... now... he went straight upstairs and wouldnt talk to me. so i studied. we went to lunch got back and i was under orders to call Elder Olsen (mental health advisor) if we had problems, so i asked him if we could talk about it and he told me no, so i told him i was gonna call elder Olsen. (not a threat just letting him know) and he just turned over and covered his head... so i called. Elder Olsen was really busy so he couldnt talk to us right then and he siad i will call you back in a half hour. sounds good. i told him it was time to start comp study and he said he wasnt going to do it. so i went down and started studying... and i heard a loud noise so i went back up to check on him... and he was packing his bags... okkkkkk... i asked "are you going home?"
, ok... "then why are you packing?"
"because im leaving",
"but not home?"
"then where are you gonna go?"
"i dont care but im leaving"
"well youre gonna have to talk to president"
"no, im not talking to you, or Elder Olsen, or President, im just leaving"
"elder, you cant leave without talking to president"
"you cant make me do anything"
"Elder, i cant let you leave without you talking to president"
"You cant stop me"
"I have to stop you, you cant leave me without talking to president. or at least wait until Elder Olsen calls"
"im leaving wether you like it or not, i wont talk to him"
This is where i made a mistake... like they say, hindsight is 20 20... so i went downstairs and used to our advantage our broken door, and i locked it from the outside so that he couldnt get out. I should have called president, but the thought never crossed my mind. So then i went back in and said a prayer to try and help my comp... went back upstairs and... he was lying on his bed crying. i just let him know i was ther and sat next to him. then Elder Olsen called and told me to just leave him there, see if he got better, and if he didnt, call president. So he opened up after a bit and started talking, about a million things, first how afraid he was... then about how he was abandoned as a child... then about how angry he was... then about how he just couldnt escape his anger... so yeah interesting... i just listened to him and then when he got done... there was silence for a few minutes and i said. "im sorry your life is hard right now Elder, but i know that you can do it, You are strong, if you need any helpp, im here for you.... nothing, just silence, then i said, but right now, we have to leave to go preach the gospel. so we went downstairs and went to leave and he got angry again, he didnt want to pray because he felt bad. and i said that we had to pray, and he wouldnt so he said he was leaving and tried to leave. luckily... the door was locked and he couldnt. so! at that point i did call the president, and he cut my call while it was ringing... ok. so he went upstairs again and i started praying... then a few minutes later President called. i talked to him, we had a long conversation... and he wanted to talk to Elder jimenez, he said no, and baracaided the door, so president threatened him that he would send him home right there. then after like 5 seconds while the president was instructiong me to shove the door with all of my strenght he opened, i slid the phone through the gap and he closed it again. talked to president, and bam, he was better, then president talked to me and said that if i had more problems with him that i needed to call him right away, I told him i thought that Elder Jimenez was going to be mad at me as we were leaving the pension and he said that if he was, i had to call him immediately. so we were leaving... and he was mad... and i told him what i was going to have to do and that i didnt want to do it. and he told me that i was the one with the problem, he just wanted to leave... ok so i didnt want to call president, i knew that would be sending him home immediately, and i decided to give him to the eend of the block... hoping that something would change... so i unlocked the door. now, the door, if you remember, only locks from the outside... so i had to jump the wall, (thats not quite as tall as me) to unlock. so i got over, and as i let myself down on the otherside... i landed wrong... my knee wobbled, popped and hurt.... ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh bad. so i opened the door and he shoved past me to get out, i told him not to leave and hobbled inside. i did a few self tests and it hurt and popped whenever i moved it... then i started balling. i thought i was coming home (disclaimer: im not, im ok) i called the zone leaders to come give me a blessing anddd he came back in. and sat in front of me as i cried for a while... then asked me what was wrong, i told him it was my knee... he sat there for a bit and then after a few minutes started to feel bad... i got a blessing. raised it, iced it, President called to see how we were and i told him my knee was hurt and he was very unhappy, then we waited for a bit, talked to the mission doctor, he gave me a few instructions...and lots of other stuff and ended the night with one of the zone leaders on an exchange, then next day i was with the district leader on a nother exchange, the mission doctor luckily was passing through copiapó so he came to see me, he gave the verdict. its all good. its hurt, but there is no real damage to ligaments or miniscus or anything. a week or 2 of rest, take it eas for another week or so, and were done. then saturday and sunday i was with Elder Jimenez again in the pension... during that time he began to tell me what had been happening and he told me that he had been manipulating me and using me from the very start, playing games with me to get what he wanted... wow.
Then this monday (yesterday) we had a conference with the president for the whole city. it was a good conference, and when it was over we talked to president. he talked to him then talked to me, to explain to me that Elder Jimenez had to go home, that it was better that he left, solved his problems and came back, that i had done everything that i could and that it wasnt my fault. so i felt a little better about it, then he and the assistents came back with us to the pension, i packed a few things and left to go stay with the zone leaders (still limping hard and wearing my brace) and Elder Jim,enez finsished packing... he left this morning with President. My new comp gets here tonight.
So! my life has been CRAZY this week, so much stuff. dont worry about my knee, it will be fine, i will take it nice and easy and do lots of leg exercises and ice it and take lots of care of it... it think that was good in english... so dont worry about that.
Also, i have been learning a TON, every single day! so basically, that was a crazy time, but it made me a way better person i feel like, and i think that we are ok with Elder Jimenez too, i hope so. i still love him, i hope that he doesnt hate me. we got really close through all of this. But i am excited to have a new comp, i think we are gonna tear it up in this sector.. its a sweet sector. there is SO MUCH potential here... we have people to help us find, and teach and we have people that have been prepared and are preparing themselves to accept the gospel of Jesus Christ.
I am grateful that through this i have been able to come to know Christ much MUCH more. i now more fully realize that he carries us through our hard times as we learn how to put our trust in him and do what he wants. im am so grateful for his help. He is there :)
I love you all tons! have a great week! im doing just fine, so dont you worry about me :) better than before. love ya!
Elder Gold
We continue to pray for Elder Jimenez as he recovers and prepares to return to the field.

Mr. Tuesday nightby Staff Writer / Montréal Canadiens
David Aebischer has now has a .758 winning percentage on Tuesday nights.
MONTREAL - Seeing the Hurricanes escape from the Bell Centre with a win over the Canadiens should have been a shock to everyone. Carolina, after all, was facing David Aebischer on a Tuesday night, which is normally terrible news for the opposition.
Even with the 2-1 loss he suffered to the Hurricanes, Aebischer still boasts a staggering 22-7 career record on Tuesday. No word as to whether head coach Guy Carbonneau was aware of that fact prior to giving Abby his second straight start, but the Canadiens' bench boss was likely impressed enough by Aebischer's 4-1-1 all-time mark against the 'Canes heading into tonight's action.
"It's always tough to be satisfied with a loss, since at the end of the day it's all about two points we failed to pick up in the standings," said Aebischer. "But we put in a solid 60-minute effort tonight. We need to continue and build on the positives we showed out there."
In his third start in four games, Aebischer made 32 saves as he suffered his first regulation loss since dropping a 2-0 decision to the Red Wings back on Jan. 15.
"Shot totals are not always an accurate indicator of how a game went," added Aebischer after seeing the Habs get outshot 34-26 by the Hurricanes. "It all comes down to scoring chances and we've had our share over the past few games."
One of those great chances came courtesy of Christopher Higgins, who turned Craig Adams inside-out before breaking in alone on goal only to see Cam Ward squeeze his pads and corral a Higgins backhand.
"Not connecting on that play was pretty much the highlight of my frustration these days," shrugged Higgins, who earned praise from his coach for his effort on Tuesday. "If we play like this every night, we'll win more games than we'll lose, that's for sure."
When the almost 29-year-old Aebischer blows out the candles on his birthday cake on Wednesday, he won't have to wish for more games on his favorite day of the week. The Canadiens already have games lined up on seven of the eight remaining Tuesdays to close out the regular season.
