We have been so blessed while we have been on our mission. The Baugh family has asked us to have family home evening with them, that has been wonderful, they are doing such a great job. They are so willing to do whatever is required to help their family to get to the temple. The have asked a young lady that was baptized 2 weeks after they were to join them in family home evening and the new member lessons. Shayna's parents have not been very supportive and so the Baugh's have welcomed her into their home for the things that are not happening in her home. Shayna is 20 and is on fire, she has read the Book of Mormon, Pearl of Great Price and is going through the D & C.  She made 8 pages of notes on the first section of the D & C. She has loaded all the scriptures and resources on her phone and uses them regularly, she and the Baugh's are going to be great assets to the church.

Mary Haining a less active sister that had not been to church in at least 10 years, started back to church with us last March. She had been to the temple then, but of course has not been in years.
Mary went for her temple recommend interview with the Bishop and got through that part, just waiting for an appointment with the Stake presidency. She is so happy, I can hardly believe the change in her. Mary insist on feeding us every Sunday and will not take no for an answer she has been our tour guide and we have spent some wonderful times with her and her husband. We are also working with her daughter and her family who are less active trying to get them to come back to church. They are all such wonderful people and have been a rich blessing to us.

We are also feeling very blessed our granddaughter Arysa is going to be married in the Rexburg temple December 28th and we are going to be there!!  We are leaving December 23rd and will be spending Christmas with by Mom, sisters, brother, and Jamie and his wonderful family!!

Kevin sent us pictures of your latest snow storm is looked so beautiful!!  Gary says he is not missing the shoveling, yet he can hardly wait to get back to Minnesota!! He is so funny!! This mission has been so good for us, we are learning to be more loving and kind to each other, what a great blessing that is to us!! It is hard to believe that 10 months have gone by already the time has flown by.

Love and miss you all!!
