We're home . . .

On the way to Seattle we took the northern route and coming home we took the southern. What long 12 hour drives and yet what beautiful country! AND our weekend with Collins, Cameron and family was worth the 24 hours in the car!!

The highlight of our Seattle visit was the ordination of Jonah to the Aaronic Priesthood by Collins. Jonah bore a strong testimony in Sacrament meeting. He chose the third Article of Faith as his favorite Article of Faith:

"We believe that through the Atonement of Christ, all mankind may be saved by obedience to the laws and ordinances of the gospel."

Jonah said he knew that Jesus made it possible for us to be saved even though we make mistakes. I too am very grateful for the blessings of the "good-news" that in Christ is the power to redeem and to justify. He truly is "the way, the truth and the life" and it is gratifying to see the seeds of faith planted in the hearts of our grandchildren.





Following church we shared an enjoyable dinner with Collin's brother Kieth, his wife Lisa and their family. Cameron was excited to serve her favorite pie "Fruits of the Forest" for dessert with us. It was especially good to be surrounded by so many beautiful children. Cousins are a blessing!
