When I got up this morning there was very good news waiting. Kevin and Becky are engaged to be married. I'm so happy for them both but especially for Kevin. He has always impressed me as a truly good man but in some ways he was not reaching his potential. And the reason in my opinion was that he didn't have the right wife. I'm not suggesting anything about Kim. She has a lot of great attributes. But for some reason they just didn't click. 

It looks to me that Kevin has found a woman who will love him like he has never been truly loved before. And he has been trying hard to adjust to that. It's been a new experience for him and I think they are going to be terrific together. 

They have a lot of chalenges ahead... things to work through.  But they know that and have begun their journey together. I'm really happy for them and look forward to their future success together.

We enjoyed a nice visit from Beth and Karen yesterday. Karen, who has never married but who has been very successful with supporting herself, is living with Beth now in sort of semi- retirement. Beth is widowed and the two of them get along very well. Beth has plenty of room in her home and even though she is pretty healthy and able, she is well into her 80s and having Karen in her home is a great blessing in my opinion.

D&C 18:10 Remember the worth of souls is great in the sight of God.

11 For, behold, the Lord your Redeemer suffered death in the flesh; wherefore he suffered the pain of all men, that all men might repent and come unto him.

"I am not suggesting that we accept sin or overlook evil, in our personal life or in the world. Nevertheless, in our zeal, we sometimes confuse sin with sinner, and we condemn too quickly and with too little compassion...We cannot gauge the worth of another soul any more than we can measure the span of the universe. Every person we meet is a VIP to our Heavenly Father. Once we understand that, we can begin to understand how we should treat our fellowmen."

President Dieter F. Uchtdorf, then Second Counselor in the First Presidency
