There is a quote: "LIFE IS NOT ABOUT WAITING FOR THE STORMS TO PASS.... IT'S ABOUT LEARNING TO DANCE IN THE RAIN."
With 12 children and 5 adopted from Russia, we have had challenges and trials along with our joys. We have decided that we must
learn how to "dance in the rain." We must notice and acknowledge the joys and miracles in our lives.
They exist daily -- we just need to make sure we do not miss them!! This blog is to remind us of these miracles and joys!

OCTOBER 5, 2013: SATURDAY AT GENERAL CONFERENCE

SATURDAY AT GENERAL CONFERENCE
October 5, 2013

What a treat!!!  We were able to go to Salt Lake for General Conference this year!!!  Our stake was so generous and gave us 14 tickets to the Saturday afternoon session!  Wow!  I didn't even dream that we would all get to go together!!!  AND Tami generously offered to take Mason and Abigail so that all of us adults could go!  Otherwise, Vernon, Alison or I would have stayed out with Mason and Abigail!!!  What a blessing!  It was so amazing to be in the conference center!!! We were there early so we were only about 40 rows back from the prophet!!!  The power of the Holy Ghost there was truly wonderful and very healing for our hearts!  I was especially thrilled that Elder Holland spoke during that session! He has become one of my favorites since his last 3 talks have touched my heart so deeply!  

Bethany and Rebecca
Daniel and David have been watching "Mountain of the Lord."  They loved seeing the temple!
