la republica dominicana, tambien

after:

what a crazy, happy, special moment opening a mission call is. I wish I could describe the feeling of such peace and "yes...of course!" when you read where you are called to serve. The video won't load--but just imagine trembling hands, happy cries, family voices from the realm of skype, and bursts of screaming. I am out of this world excited!

look at this paradise:
yes i am aware that not a single particle of my flesh will get to touch that heavenly water




june 15! june 15! I'll be spending 3 weeks in the Provo MTC and 6 weeks in the Dominican Republic MTC--full immersion into Spanish after 3 weeks! yikes I cannot even wait

woah.

this little chunk joined the fam today!

makenzie ella morey, welcome to the world! you are adorable and precious and, like cambree and abby a few months ago, i love you so much already. i just want to smudge those little cheeks! congrats sara and eli! she is one lucky little girl.

I am an aunt 5 times now! too wonderful. I love these newest additions to the family so so much. And the older additions too. Thank goodness families are forever, I love all of them too much to be apart from them for longer than a year and half.



once again, skype and tokbox saved the day for our family. technology, you blow my mind


life is such a miracle
