Ronald Nelson and the Perito Moreno Glacier


Perito Moreno Glacier
Amazing natural occurrence!!

It's quite the movie clip, just open up the attachment.  It's of the Perito Moreno Glacier, in Argentina   It depicts a grandstand, where tourists, and visitors can watch the Glacier advancing down the hill, and a glacier ice melt stream from above, flowing through the Glaciers downhill trudge, creating an Ice Tunnel, which eventually melts, and falls into the stream, in bunches and gobs. I have seen similar in spots up in the Columbia ice fields in Alberta, and have seen some on the internet from Iceland, Finland , Norway, the Alps, and also in Tibet - near Katman du. It's quite the video--obviously enthralled the tourists and visitors, and I hope you enjoy it too. This isn't "global warming" happening, it's the natural progression of a glacier, slowly advancing down the hill, due to it's overall weight, and the melting at the bottom there-from. It's pure physics called "calfing." Watch till end to get the full impact!

President Hinckley's 97th birthday, June 23

From Amy J.: I don't know who started this, but I think it's a great idea!!!! So, I sent it on!

As you all know, this June 23rd is Pres. Hinckley's 97th birthday. He has been such a wonderful example for all of us and I think that it is time  we pay him back! One thing that he is known and remembered for is the construction of so many temples around the world. I was thinking that it  would be a wonderful idea if every member possible attended the temple the 
week of June 23 as a way of honoring and thanking Pres. Hinckley for all his years of service to the church.

This is NOT a church sponsored activity, but just a personal thing that I'd like to suggest, so, if you're interested in participating and helping this to happen, please forward this email to as many people that you know and let's see what a difference we can make! I figure that between all of us, we can cover a lot of the country and maybe the world.




Bonnie Jacobs: Sounds like a good idea.
