7 weeks into school

Image
Here's the kiddos off to the start of their new school year.  Middle School for Jaxon in 8th and Dylan in 6th.  Elementary school for Bradyn in 4th and Lucy in 1st.  I love that Lincoln Academy has them all together!   A little peek into the sing along morning meeting.   Lucy's the blondie in the middle. This is one of my favorite pictures of Lucy with her buddies Sara, Maleah and Tyler This is the only picture I got of our latest beach trip but it was so sweet to see our friend Grace (who couldn't get her wrist wet and surf as she would have liked) instead go and jump the waves with Lucy.  Friendship has no age limits. Mark includes Jaxon and Dylan in his morning workout routines.  They prepared well for the run for a cure 5K.  Sweet they did too because they ran the whole thing and both Jaxon and Dylan completed it in less than 25 minutes.  Way to go boys!  Dylan got 2nd for his age group. Bradyn...

Light the World - Ghanaian Style

Image
In December we got to celebrate Light the World and it's been a theme that has resonated everywhere I looked since.  This particular event was pretty cool because these lovely folks gave the liveliest, happiest nativity I've seen.  My favorite part was the excitement of Christ's birth with baby giggles and Mary dancing for joy. When we walked the temple grounds, one person's candle lit anothers and one by one we were all lighting the world.  I have been lit by so many candles during my time in Ghana it's impossible to list them all.   You know the saying that it takes a village to raise a family?  I saw it firsthand as so many friends throughout the country took on and loved my children as my own.  They would never hesitate to welcome us and show us love- giving any help or gifts they could think of.   These are my hard working friends who worked at Crystal Friends.  They not only did fabulous work, but every...

Simple Joys of Gospel Living

Image
"Consider on the Blessed and Happy state of those that keep the commandments of God." Mosiah 2:41 We have seen that happy state in many of our friends here. We had another Stake Conference and I was privileged to join in the majestic choir led again by Brother Ato Brown where everyone gave their whole heart and soul to the sound.  There were wonderful men in the choir as well but they weren't in bright pink dresses so they missed out on this picture. We love all our young single adult friends here who we do our YSA outreach class with every Friday.  To kick off another school year we had a poolside party.  We had a field of dreams type experience when at starting time nobody was there.  "If you build it they will come..." We were so happy when they started arriving and by party's end we had (including ours and the Lukes children) 55 people in attendance!  Love them!  We love spending time with the missionaries both old and young.  The...
