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!

MAY 1-2, 2015 -- SHANGHAI DISTRICT YOUTH CONFERENCE

SHANGHAI DISTRICT YOUTH CONFERENCE
MAY 1-2, 2015





Friday morning, early, the Okeson driver came by to pick up our crew of 6 to go to Youth Conference.  Melissa, Amy, Rebecca, Benjamin, Rachel and Bethany all headed off for Shanghai.  The theme of the conference was about “Seeking” and learning through the scriptures and how to answer questions.  I have heard great things from our kids regarding what they learned and of stories and activities that took place.  It was a great conference!  I also heard the food was really good, too.

While the teenagers were gone, Dad and I were home with the younger 3 boys and Joseph.  Friday was no school but we did some work here at home.  Daniel is at home now for school since he was expelled for stealing so he did school work for part of the day.  David and Mason played well together.  Joseph took the boys to the plaza area near our home to play and fly helicopters.  In the afternoon, Dad took the boys to buy kites and they had fun flying them.
