Dear Lance, | 6:50 a.m. Sept. 20, 2009

Welcome to Utah! May God bless your loved ones here and guide your hands in your artwork. You are much like the pioneers of old who came to the mountains for safety! I think you will find it here!

It isn't a coincidence this man is in Utah. God bless him as he finds the peace through Jesus Christ and his gospel.

When I left Nebraska after I graduated and moved to Utah, I didnt miss the tornadoes at all. Now I am back in Nebraska after I got married and I am scared to death of them. Always have been and always will. We have outrun a few of them. I hope you love it out there. The mountains are so beautiful out there. God bless ya.
