my family, how I miss them....

Very rarely do I have the privilege to be with my family. Since I was preaching 5 services near them, oh the beautiful times we had together. The older I get, the more I treasure moments. Maybe it is because we are missionaries and all we get are moments!

My sister had a tough day on her birthday in September so I wanted to have a belated birthday celebration with her. We had so much fun, a new restaurant for us both, treating her like a princess, coffee and birthday pumpkin roll at a special bakery. Spending quality time with each other with lots of stories, lots of laughter. It was like a moment in time when we removed ourselves from the rat race of daily demands and gave each other time. It was wonderful!
