JASON KEEPS HOEING UNTIL THE END

Jason had a great experience this week, he was able to be apart of the baptism of the Dominguez family. This was a great experience for Jason and he learned that it was planned for him to return to Vidor Texas where he had spent six months of his mission. He loved the people in Vidor and the people in Vidor loved him and it would have been a great way to end his mission. Just before the transfers were to take place his Mission President felt impressed to keep him in Antiscocita and the Mission President shared with everyone at the baptism that this was one of the reasons Jason was to have stayed is so he could help the Dominguez family.

As always we are so proud of Jason and the work he has done in Texas. He will leave Texas a better place but we can't wait to have him back with us.

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.
