A Tender Mercy & It Really Happened

Well it happened.  These two have been made companions.  Those who follow our blog or even perhaps his will know this is truly a tender mercy of a loving Heavenly Father.  Here's the story if you are new to our lives journey.  Bridger and Josh, a.k.a. Elder Peterson were roommates in the MTC.  They are as close to being brothers as two could ever be.  We have become great friends with his family whom we love.  They are both the oldest of three boys and love big watches, sunglasses, hunting, etc., etc., etc.  So, you can see what we mean.  They are awesome missionaries, with a love of the people of Honduras.  So, go get em' Elders.  The newest Dynamic Duo has hit the city of San Pedro Sula Centro.  Thank you for hearing and answering the prayers of two mothers who had hoped this would happen.  Work hard Elders!!!  We love you both so much!!!

Time Marches On...

Well, from the previous post you can see how disappointed all of us who had such hopes for a new change did not get the outcome we wanted.  However, after thinking about what transpired, makes me really think that maybe this is exactly how it is supposed to be.  I'm not sure the world is ready for Mitt Romney and the things he was hoping to change.  If we read in the scriptures we still have lots to go through and perhaps this is to let us know we need to be prepared for what lies ahead.

Life is good.  We have our family and the things that we have been taught.  All we can do is be strong in what we believe, be good people, serve others and pray for America.  It may be a bumpy ride, but with faith, hope and a few miracles it will all work out.

Here's the latest picture of Elder Clayton and the baptism of Fernando.  He is loving his mission and I can see that it is speeding up all too quickly for him.  I love watching the changes in him and he has become a man that we are so proud of.  Thanks so much for all the prayers in his behalf.  They are felt and appreciated.
