Region Champs!

Two years in a row! The Young Women of my ward took first place in region volleyball again this year. The Laurels played a big part in that. Most of them will be gone next year so it might be a bit hard to repeat. I enjoyed going to their games. They are a great group of young women. There sportsmanship is extraordinary. I am always complimented by everyone on how great they are. They motivate me so much in my life. Way to go girls!!!!

25th Missionary Reunion

Wow! I have been home for 25 years. This is the first time the Taylor's have had a reunion. Travis and Denice helped me make a few dozen eclairs for the event and off I went. Was fun to see all the signs along the road that led you to the building. Seeing the Canadian flag in front of the building brought lots of feelings of good memories to me. We had a gathering in the chapel and the Taylor’s shared with us their love of life, the gospel and us. President Taylor spoke of love and how much the Lord loves each of us. I was touched by his words. Sister Taylor spoke of her love of us, family and the church. I put an old picture above of me, Heiner, Olds and Pace. Above also a picture of Heiner and me and a few other sisters I served with. And then the Taylor’s and me. Elder Vanleuwen joined in. He was one of my zone leaders. This was the first time the Taylor's had a reunion.

Disneyland!

I got to go to Disneyland for my birthday. I could not of asked for anything finer than walk around Disneyland with a good friend enjoying all that was surrounding me. Denice and I went and we enjoyed every minute of it. It was a bit crowded but the weather was grand and the happiest place on earth was still an adventure. We also enjoyed having dinner at Mama Cusso's the Walkenhorst favorite Italian place down the street. Highlight of the trip: Frozen banana's and churro's. Love that place!!!
