When we chose to serve a mission it became obvious that we would miss important events. The top of the list were the baptisms of three of our grandchildren (Avery, Hailey, and Henry) and the birth of our sweet little Lucy last October, as well as many other treasured moments.  Then around the first of the year, Emily called saying they were coming to visit us and that Henry had something to tell us.  He then informed us that he wanted to be baptized in the Bermuda Ocean!  It was wonderful, and the Bermuda Branch were greatly supportive of our family.  We love them for that!  So we would like to share a few pictures of the event as well as Avery and Haily's special days that we missed.  Faith in serving the Lord has taught us that blessings are showered upon us when we are obedient.  That doesn't mean there are not challenges or trials, but that said we have trusted in Him that our family would be watched over, may our family know that we love them ever more by being in the mission field while these events and challenges have taken place.
