And the countdown begins to Christmas 2023!

Luke left for FSY the day before Riley left, so they had to say their goodbyes a day earlier!

Mixed emotions on our 3am drive to the SLC airport...mostly, I am so excited for our independent, brave girl, always wanting an adventure. Well, she's getting one!

It was a little tender mercy running into Sister Denney at the ticketing line. I watched these two girls who were in nursery together, shared a baptism day, and have stayed friends their whole lives run and embrace...one headed to Ecuador, the other Chile. My heart was full as I remembered that both these girls are direct descendants of John Taylor, the prophet. I remember at their baptism day when the bishop noted that surely their ancestors were aware of them on that day.

And every day after.

I have felt that Riley's entire life. I love my Riley girl and pray she will find everything her heart desires in this adventure. I'm so excited for her!!

"Pero el Señor sabe todas las cosas desde el principio; por tanto, él prepara una vía para realizar todas sus obras entre los hijos de los hombres; porque, he aquí, él tiene todo poder para el cumplimiento de todas sus palabras. Y así es. Amén." 1 Nefi 9:6 Yo sé que Dios ha preparado un plan perfecto para todos y cada uno de nosotros. Si nos volvemos a él con verdadera intención y deseo de hacer Su voluntad, sentiremos y veremos el poder que tiene en nuestras vidas. Cómo ves la mano de Dios en usted vida?   "But the Lord knoweth all things from the beginning; wherefore, he prepareth a way to accomplish all his works among the children of men; for behold, he hath all power unto the fulfilling of all his words. And thus it is. Amen." 1 Nephi 9:6   I know that God has prepared a perfect plan for each and every one of us. If we turn to him with real intent and a desire to do his will, we will feel and see the power that He has in our lives.

Mosiah 7:48

  Dios es nuestro amoroso Padre Celestial. El nos ama. El nos entiende. Dios tiene un plan y proposito para cada las personas. Dios nos envio a la tierra para aprender, crecer, y progressar. Dios nos da la expiacion de Jesucristo para regresar a Dios con no mas pecados.
