Family Pictures!!


Dustin and Lillie and I had our family pictures taken yesterday! We had our friend, Michael Holt, take them for us and they turned out great. Lillie was a little tired the whole time, but it still went okay.

Today Dustin and I had the unique opportunity to attend a devotional in the SLC temple. It was in the Solomn Assembly room and the speakers were President and Sister Walker (temple president) and Elder Walker, and President Monson. It was so special and a meeting we will cherish and never forget. It was just so neat to be in a room full of temple workers all dressed in white, including the Prophet of the Lord. The spirit was incredibly strong, and I constantly had a feeling that we were in the presence of others beyond the veil.


Nothing else too exciting has happened lately, just typical life! Dustin works every day and is very happy to be working in Ogden instead of Price! It is so nice to have him home everyday around 4 o'clock. I am working still about 3 nights a week at the SLC temple. Lillie is still just crawling, but now she walks on her knees. She had a doctor appointment and was in the 97th percentile for height and head size, and 70th percentile for weight. She's a big girl!


Dustin and I are applying to be service missionaries. We apply the exact same way as though we were putting in our papers to go on a full time mission. We are very excited! We will be starting the Pornography Addiction Recovery Group through LDS social services here in Magna. We love the program so much and have such a testimony that it is truly inspired of God. It will be a little busy doing that along with our other callings, but we know it will be very rewarding.

I love your family pictures! Lillie is such a doll. That is awesome about the temple ceremony and about the missionary papers. I think you are staying busy enough!

You turkey, you didn't need to get me a birthday present! You're so sweet! :) Tyson is coming down here on Friday and we want to do something with you guys on Saturday if that works for you. We can even go get some dinner and bring it back to your place for a serious party night. Let me know what you guys think! And what a neat experience at the temple! I bet you have just loved that. And that is neat about the missionary papers. Well done!

Great to hear you're starting that group!

If you would like me to send you some flyers about Covenant Eyes accountability software, I'd be happy to do that. If there are any in your group who struggle with Internet pornography specifically, this could be a great software choice for them to hold one another accountable to where they go online!
