And if it so be that you should labor all your days in crying repentance unto this people, and bring, save it be one soul unto me, how great shall be your joy with him in the kingdom of my Father!
We had a wonderful weekend. In 1985, Wayne was serving in Omaha on his mission. He and his companion baptized a very young family into the church. This sweet sister, orginally from Nigeria came to Salt Lake to attend our semiannual General Conference. We loved having Vivian in our home. She enjoyed attending in the conference center. She was able to sit quite close and on the side where the Prophet and the other General Authorities entered the center. It made me realize how blessed we are to have these men in our midst.
I took her to Deseret Book while the boys were at Priesthood Meeting. They always have a big Girl's Night activity there with many give aways, treats and fun. Poor Caleb had to go with us but thank heavens the treats were something he liked. Only three more conferences and he too will go with his dad and brothers. It was fun to introduce Vivian to many friends that were also there. She was in awe at this and I explained how this was one of many that had similar activities. Most craft stores held GNO's, too.
Thank you Vivian, for keeping the faith, staying strong and for making us remember how blessed we are. I will try to not take this for granted again.
Please come stay with us again, you are always welcome.

How exciting! It sounds like you had a great weekend, I love life-time friends. Thank you for the conference activities it helped out a bunch with these busy boys. By the way, cute background, I just chose the same...does this mean I have to change?
Okay, that is so cool. What a blast for Wayne to reconnect with an old friend and how fun for you to meet her and get to know her. I love you Tammy!
That is so great. I keep in touch with a few from my mission and it is fun to see them. What a great time to be here to attend conference.
