Johnny is Engaged!
I like this quote because it shows how important our family relationships are and how we must try our hardest to be successful in the home.
"Now is the time for each of us to work toward our personal conversion, toward becoming what our Heavenly Father desires us to become. As we do so, we should remember that our family relationships--even more than our Church callings--are the setting in which the most important part of that development can occur. The conversion we must achieve requires us to be a good husband and father or a good wife and mother. Being a successful Church leader is not enough. Exaltation is an eternal family experience, and it is our mortal family experiences that are best suited to prepare us for it. (Dallin H. Oaks, Ensign, Nov. 2000, pp. 32-34)

Johnny is home!!!
We are so grateful and blessed to have Jonathan back at home with us. We had a great time picking him up and meeting people on his mission. I am thankful for the awesome skills he has developed on him mission and for his care and concern for others and his desire to help. He is a pleasure to be with.
This is at the mission home-we got to meet President and Sister Bullen and visit for a bit. I think it's hilarious that Nathan and I both have plants behind our heads, yet they are centered so well they look like hair pieces :)
On the way to Oregon, we stopped at Burney Falls. They were amazing and so beautiful!
We also stopped to see the Medford Temple.
Surprise! The weather was foggy and rainy! :)
We got to meet some of the elder from Johnny's mission.
And Sister Crossett, who works in the office.
And some of the wonderful people that Johnny met.
We saw the Portland Temple, and while there, also saw Sister Williams from our home town. What a fun surprise!
We went to Rexburg to see Jane and got to see lots of other friends as well.

Great to be home again and see most of the rest of the family. Missing Travis and Sariah and Ruston!
We are so grateful for our many blessings the Lord has given us.
