The artist

Josiah does a fantastic job with painting and drawing.  This rose is my favorite. 

 

Youth sledding

Great group of people who went sledding today.  

 

My missionary

My most favorite missionary is this one, sister Sadie Kerns.  It has been a huge blessing that she can serve.  I love to see her growth every week.  There are some rough days and weeks but boy is she sure learning from those.  Being a missionary mom is pretty darn cool.  I love being able to talk to her each week and see how everything is going.  It can be stressful but I know it helps her to keep working hard.  I feel like families can be a better support to their missionary kids.   

Sadie is 20 years old.  

 

Missionaries

There are some missionaries that seem to hold a special place and this one is one.  Sister Johnson is just so good.  She is humble, and yet out spoken and will be a super missionary.   We hope to keep her around longer.  It was her birthday so I surprised her with a dessert that her mother sent me a recipe for.   Fried ice-cream.  

It is also so fun to attend the temple with a bunch of missionaries and new members.  They came to support Jasmin for her first time doing baptisms.  This is a great group.  

 

The year 2023

I came across this today.  I guess we will see how this year will go for us.
