the other side of heaven

I was privileged to hear Brother John H. Groberg's experiences of his mission in Tonga this past Sunday evening. It was fun to hear first hand how he felt, the challenges he faced, and the overall love that grew for the gospel and the people of Tonga through serving his mission.

Ashley's night...

Ashley found her man and we got to celebrate her! It was wonderful spending time with our close friends and her adorable mother, sister, and sisters-in-law. What a great night! I sure do love your face, Ash!

I visited the Levine's, my sister and her family, in upstate NY. It was so great to spend some quality time with all of them. It was rather cold for my AZ blood, but survived by wearing multiple layers of Amie's clothing. 

We enjoyed walking in the sleet, driving to Old Forge, exploring Lake Julia, and wandering around Black Pond and Wehle Park.
