Tuesday, June 2, 2015. The sweetest pup in the whole world passed away 1 week ago on Memorial Day. In the spring of 2010, my mom decided to surprise my little sister, Hailey, with a new puppy. Hailey had just turned 8 and been baptized and of course those 2 things call for a new addition to the family, right? Our family has been so luck to have the Tyoze in our family for the past 5 years. His crooked little bottom teeth.

We had a baptism this evening. Lynn was so excited she could hardly contain herself. Her grandson, Ryan also felt the excitement in the room. We love these missionaries and the miracles that are happening here.

Monday, July 13, 2015. As of Saturday, we have been married 42 years. How can this be? For starters I know I am not old enough for that. That aside I have a few observations about things I have learned from the experience of being married this long. You do not lose yourself when you compromise, control your words, go without, set aside your bias or sacrifice because you want the other person to feel love. Instead you begin to know love. I recognize that my faithful, loyal, and loving spo.

Writing My Fingers to the Bone. Christmas in the Mission Home 2016. We had a beautiful snowfall and a couple of quiet days between interviews to get a few things ready. All is calm, all is bright. What do I want for Christmas? I want you to spend you.
