Family History Conference and Jakes Baptism

Most of our energy went into preparing for the conference and going to the conference. We can do more and more with this service mission. Now, it is just making the time. We prepared to post photos and stories to family search. They are still on my key waiting for me to take the time. We like to be available for the family and this time of year means alot of music and celebrations. We heard Mariah play the piano and Blake and Natalie play the violin and the Three Amigos just play!
Most important was attending the temple on Saturday just before Jake was baptized by Derek. In preparing to attend, I fretted about what to wear.It was our first big snow of the season and I wanted to be comfortable and stylish,,until I prayerfully stopped,,a remembered the blessing and honor to attend our grandsons baptism, I felt foolish but grateful  that I remembered. The spirit was strong and I am thankful that I listened

Finally met my goal

Spring of 2014 I set of goal of finishing my mother Joyce Morrison Lund's life history. Many things got in the way. The biggest being my cat! Oreo helped me delete much of the story up to the parts that I remember ( so all of the family history AND  youth my my mother ) One day while typing along on my tablet the cat stepped and deleted and then I deleted ALL  my work. Upset! but then I found my mothers 1939 - 1940 diary, This filled in the spaces that I knew nothing about. Yesterday I visited my Aunt Jean to ask final questions on their junior high years. Sadly Jean did not remember must, She is 88 years old and like my mother before she died, has dementia. She did remember her mother Celia when I showed her photos. She did not know which twin she was in any of the photos, but most of ALL she remembered going to church, Relief Society, Visiting Teaching, and that Celia worked at the Daughters of the Utah Pioneer building. She still has her quick and ready smile. I love her and Love and Miss my mother.  What did I find out about their teenage lives....???
