Missionary Photos

Fun photo shoot with Dalton Allen, a good friend of Jeremy.
He did it as a gift for Sara's mission. We love them and are very appreciative.












On Sunday, June 16, 2013, Sara gave her talk in sacrament meeting in the Eastland, Texas branch. It was Father's Day, so the talks mentioned fathers as well as missionary work. Her talk was beautiful and she bore a wonderful testimony that demonstrates she will be a great missionary. She is excited to go to SLC Temple Square and feel the Spirit that resides there. We were blessed to have all three of her brothers in attendance. Josh spoke about a contractor who was spending all of his time away from home and decided to become a mailman instead so that he could spend more time with his family. He also told his famous "Use your 'face' (faith) " story. Jared sang, "Savior, Redeemer of My Soul" with words written by Orson F. Whitney. It was very moving. Jeremy talked about a great father in one of the cities in California, where he served his mission.  His daughter had promised to join the Church while very ill, but didn't get around to taking the lessons until years later. Jeremy was able to teach her & she is now serving a mission in Florida. It was a great meeting, and we had a fun pot luck dinner afterward.
