Mission News

We have been meeting with the Elders and teaching a family: Daniel, Zinab, Samual (4 yrs) and Abraham (2 yrs).  They come from Sierra Leon Africa and have been here about 6 months.  They fled Sierra Leon during the war to save their lives and stayed in another country about 10 years trying to get visas to USA.  They are now living with a relative trying to get established here.  They feel so excited about learning about the true church.  Daniel said the Book of Mormon is like food to him; his breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Because they have found this church they are able to sleep in peace for the first time in a long time because their situation is so desperate. They will be baptised on Sunday, July 31 and he said they have decided to fast starting on Friday before their baptism because they are so thankful. He said there were not words to describe how they were feeling about the church.

17 miracles

Perhaps I'm a little biased, but as proof I have people stopping me in public places to tell me she is the most beautiful baby they've ever seen :D But here is all the proof I really need:

This is about the distance between Annali and Abigail on average...

And here Chandler decided to sleep with this hat on because his hair is getting so long it tickles him while he sleeps :) Still refusing hair cut. We told him he can't go to Aspen Grove without one, and he gave in easily.

And just one more...

At 17miracles.com you can see the trailer for the new movie that is an account taken from the journals of the willie handcart company. The trailer quotes our ancestor as saying "We were promised by a servant of the Lord all the members of our family would arrive safely in Zion, all the members of our family." !!! We're famous! :) I can't wait to go see it while we are out in Utah for Aspen Grove in a couple weeks. Chris Albright said it is great.

And here are Cody and the kids July 4th on our first geocaching expedition. It was lots of fun, and addicting. They got covered in mosquito bites and scratches, but felt the glory of a real treasure hunt. We've gone on 4 more since. Also here is the white board with our family laws on it for Holly's curiosity. It has worked well for us. We all sing a song with all the laws in it to help us all remember :)
