Blessings

For the past 6 weeks, we have had the awesome blessing of teaching a family the missionary discussion here in our home to a single mother and her four boys. I know them from my previous involvement at the Preschool and then onto the Elementary school. The mother and oldest son will be baptized June 6th. The other 3 boys (triplets) will turn 8 in October and follow suit.

As we are now busy planning our weekly meetings and the upcoming baptism, I would be at a loss if I didn't take a minute and share what a blessing this has been to us personally. To watch a life go through the changing process... and be able to have your kids be a part of it... has been a great experience. One of the boys is in Chloe's class, one is in Benton's class at school. They have had the opportunity to step outside of their school zone and be more than just an acquaintance. The Spirit certainly works in small and simple ways... and what a treat it has been to be a part of such a thing.

There is nothing that gives more joy than sharing the gospel with others, especially when you can do it as a family. What a glorious experience for you all. I love you. Grammie
