Our Laura is Married!


 Just 42 hours ago, Saturday April 16th, Laura was married to Logan in the Logan, Utah Temple.  Ahhhhh! What a special day for our family!  In the evening until 3 am (due to the time differences) we got to watch our family gather and celebrate!  Laura and Logan chose to be married in the Logan Temple, where both of their families have spent much time.  Laura's great grandparents, (my father and mother) loved their time in the Logan Temple as the President and Matron and we have sweet tender memories there. Such a wonderful, as well as a teary, missing family, day for me.  That said...            
In our hearts...family is why we are here.  We know the promises made in Sacred Temples...are.

What Joy to hear an Apostle this past weekend as Elder and Sister Neil L. Andersen came to share their hearts in Cape Verde and to dedicate the Cape Verde Temple in Praia.  President and Sister Roberto Oliveira, serving as the President and Directora of the New Cape Verde Temple invited us to attend the dedication and to stay in their home with them for 3 marvelous  days that will last in our hearts forever.  What an experience to see some of the behind the scenes preparations  and wonderment of the Miracle of a Temple in Cabo Verde.  President and Sister Oliveira are much loved by the Cabo Verdianos and as we walked with them we saw that they are much loved by the woman doing laundry, a man in the store, the apartment security guy, the scheduler at the Temple, and everyone in their path...including us. Such Joy to visit with them again!  They treat us like royalty.  We laugh and cry together...as family and best friends. So many of our young frie...

Sunday morning in Ponta Delgada, when Grandpa learned that he was to teach the Gospel Doctrine class in Sunday School (RIGHT NOW!) he quickly stood up and gave a wonderful lesson.  So many participated as we felt the words in the Thirteen Article of Faith and what they mean in our lives.  I wondered at the composure he had as the lesson unfolded beautifully as if he had been preparing all week.  And then the thought came to me...that he had.  As we study the scriptures daily, and try our best to understand and apply them...we are prepared to share our joy anytime, anywhere. ...and then on the very same Sunday afternoon, after Sacrament meeting, and just as Sunday School was about to start in Ribera Grande (other part of the island), Maura, came over to give me a hug.  She wanted me to teach Primary.  What?  And I followed her into the Primary room and with chalk, markers, and scriptures we had a nice visit together.  We talked about the promises t...

Whenever we fly, we are in awe of the majesty of Our Savior's creations,  (and yet), the love He has for each one of us.  I took a few photos during  our flight, but I think this one best explains the reverence we feel.     On our way to our new adventure from Lisbon to Evora!
