DAN ON EASY STREET

Daniel sent us this cute picture of him on Easy street in Mililani Hawaii. He wrote on the back that this is probably the coolest street in the world. Here is hoping that on that street everyone treated them nice! Isn't he so cute!!!

This is a picture of Daniel with Michael one of the newest members of the church in Mililani Hawaii as of the first part of December. Daniel was fortunate enough to baptize him. There is an incredible story that goes along with this baptism that just sends chills down you but it is too special to share on the world wide web. It was a great experience for Daniel and Michael. Daniel has another baptism this Saturday. He is being so blessed!

Daniel is still enjoying 80+ degree weather! Look at the picture, he is in a short sleeve shirt!! His friend from our ward is serving in Canada and is experiencing -60 degree weather. I am sure the blessing are the same. But if I had to be blessed, I think I would take the 80+ degree weather!

ANOTHER PICTURE FROM BEAUTIFUL HAWAII

THANKFUL FOR MY IRISH ANCESTORS

I never knew how much Irish ancestry I had until my wonderful Aunt Carol wrote this awesome history about my Dad's ancestors. There are still 8 castles partially standing over in Ireland that belong to my ancestors. Most of them (14 of them) fought in the Revolutionary War so that I could enjoy what I have today. There is also some tie to Bunker's Hill and Breed's Hill.

St. Patrick's Day never used to mean much to me until I knew my ancestry. Now I take time to think about them a little bit more during that time. I am grateful to them for being so brave and courageous to leave so much of what they had to come to America and start new. I am somewhat what I am because of them. I can't wait to thank them in person some day.

THE TWO SIDES OF WINTER

Have you ever noticed that there are two sides to winter? There is the beautiful side. The sun shining on the snow on a crisp morning. The silent snow falling in the full moon. The quietness that a snowy night brings. I love so much about winter and the fun and beauty that it brings. But there is a sad and lonely side to winter. When we were coming back from the cabin the other night we rode through the desolate camp grounds. The picnic tables where barely poking their tops through the snow. Somehow it made me sad and lonely. I realized then that winter has two sides to it.
