A Ward Family















There are certain things in a family that are essential. Mom, Dad, children....but there is also a sense of love and belonging in a family. A place where you can "bear one anothers burdens", make relationships with brothers and sisters, serve and make time for each other.

We had a wonderful ward family in Logan. I wanted to have pictures of all of those wonderful people who our family grew to love and depend on. These are a few. We will miss our ward like crazy. We were given many opportunities to serve, but also, I grew to love the sisters and depend on their love in return. David felt a great camaraderie with the brothers in the ward. David and I had many friends that moved in and out in the four years we lived there, and each one has changed us for the better. I love life. Heavenly Father has created such a wonderful plan for us to grow and develop. We will miss you BP2!

Shayla,
I can't believe you are actually gone. I am so sad about you not being in our ward anymore. My favorite memory of you in our ward is when you sang with your daughters in Sacrament Meeting. So precious. Best wishes and keep in touch. Come visit my blog anytime, too.

Shayla! We miss you guys! Things are rolling on. No new prez yet, but Melissa's filling in wonderfully. Bishop couldn't make the teacher training, but Melissa took it and ran. It was good. I'm stoked I made the picture cut! We hope you're doing fabulously!
