Saying Goodbye

We took Kaela to the MTC on September 23. She has been there a month and is doing very well. She could bear her testimony in German and just a few days. Lucky me, I get to see her almost everyday! Here are some pictures of her last Sunday at home and saying good-bye.

Preemie Dresses

I had the opportunity to make a blessing dress and a burial gown for twins this month. One twin is not expected to live and the mother wanted matching dresses for them both. I really enjoyed making these dresses. The twins should be born this week.

Germany Munich / Austria Mission!

Last night Kaela opened her mission call. We had Ben on the phone from Camp Williams, and Micah on the phone from San Diego. Grandma Myers was here, along with David, me, Jacob, and Sara. Everybody put in their guesses and then she opened it. She is going to the Germany Munich/ Austria mission! No one guessed it correctly! I was close though, I had guessed Belgium/Brussels. She reports to the MTC on September 23! Congratulations Kaela!

Guess Who's Going On a Mission!!

The papers are in. The wait has begun.

Proud Mama (and Dad)

Micah and his co-workers were published in the journal Science! They worked a long time on this study and now it has been published! They studied how to flip the brain's addiction switch without drugs. You can read about this study in several places on the Internet:
