Tt goes to the T

On Friday July 16th 2010 it was

Timothie's special day at the Temple.

We are getting ready for our Hermana Maughan

she has 52days until she will fly out for the Provo MTC

Her mission farewell from the Desert Wells Ward will be on

August 29th, at 1:00pm.

We have enjoyed this extra time with her being home since Christmas time. She has been working so hard in her college classes and has also been taking summer classes while working full time.

When she returns from her mission she will only have 12 credits left

for her bachelors degree in Speech Communications.

She will then be an Assistant Speech Pathologist and has plans to get her Masters Degree

to become a Speech Pathologist.

We are excited for you Timothie!!!!

Hurrah for Israel!!!

Friends came over to celebrate.

Playing fun group games and going for a swim

Tuesday July 7th at 8:30pm 

President Moyers 1st counselor in our Stake Presidency came over

to set Christopher apart for his mission to Raleigh, North Carolina.

Bishop Gordon and Sister Bishop as we like to call her

 came by with a hymn book.

And now he shall be known of as........Elder Maughan

We woke up at 4:00 am and I made Elder Maughan a poached egg on toast.

Steve helped finish up with the final items to be packed 

and loaded the suitcases into the van.

At 4:50 after family prayer we set off for the airport.

Now is a time of new beginnings...

Proud Nana...

Pleased Auntie Tracy and Cousin Sarah

Supportive loving Sister Timothie...soon to be Sister Maughan

Appreciative Loving Father

Grateful Momma.

Wow that 19 years flew by. As I write this I know you are now in the MTC

and I wonder...hey, what did you have for lunch? How was the flight?

Did you sit by the other Elders on the plane?

Did you laugh? Did you cry?

I'm so very excited for you and I just want to know everything.

That is just the way I will always be...your Momma...no matter how old you get.

Thank you for all that you have taught me. I LOVE YOU!

Go my Son and shine your wonderful light!!!! Your ready.

Hurrah for Israel!

OLD BLOG HEADER
Here is a peek at our "desert life". This coming June 24th it will be 8 years that we have been wandering in this wilderness. There have been many challenges and many tender mercies. There is so much that we have come to learn, and yet so much more to be discovered...


We know the desired destination, getting there requires GREAT COURAGE.

Remembering 2007

This is a time of great reflections of the Past.

A time of great preparations for the Future.

A time to be fully present in the Now.

Today is part of Eternity.

Timothie's Mission Call Arrives

The waiting has been intense, but with great joy it is here at the right time. Timothie had given up on being the one to check the mail box...so I went to check it for her after I was finished teaching classes.

 Thursday June 3rd was her mission call moment!

She let all her friends know of her call and invited them come for the celebration.
