Of Good Report - January

This newsletter is to help spread the Good News of the World. With all the bad news that is everpresent in today's media, here is our small attempt to make sure the Good News doesn't get lost.

ST. GEORGE, UTAH
Keith and Karla Klingenberg went golfing for their anniversary. What is so special about that you

might ask. Well, on the 10th hole of the Ledges golf course they each hit a hole in one. One right after the other.
Complete strangers Boyd and Vickie Lindquist witnessed the event and said they wouldn't have believed it if they hadn't been there to see it.
National golf organizations have been contacted and no one has ever heard of this type of thing happening before.
No one knows the odds of this type of thing happening but several people have suggested maybe the Klingenberg's should have traveled a little further south from St. George to try out their luck on their anniversary!

BAGHDAD, IRAQ
Suicide bombers have shattered the ballerinas mirrored walls. The cellos were looted by armed gangs. The trip to this school for the arts can be a harrowing experience. The schools gates are

guarded by armed men and the school sits right next to a U.S. military base in a dangerous district of Baghdad. Nevertheless, these children keep coming. They come to learn to dance, to learn to play Mozart. It began in 1969 and was Iraq's premier school for the arts. It now struggles to stay open four years after the U.S. invasion.
"When I enter the ballet hall, I forget all the chaos outside," said 10-year-old Balsam Imad, dressed in a bright red tutu and a white leotard. "If we dropped out of school and stayed home, Iraqi culture would die."
Even amidst the chaos that surrounds them a desire for music and dance and culture overcomes the dangers. In Iraq the human spirit lives on.
