A perfect Fall afternoon! We found an untouched area covered in fallen leaves! It was the perfect Fall afternoon pastime! What a wonderful play thing nature has provided in fallen leaves.
I haven't played in a pile of leaves for years! 'Leaf' it to my kids to bring out the kid in me again. It was irresistible, I jumped in too! You've seen snow angels? How about leaf angels? It was perfect and not so cold.
Saturday, November 7th, 2009 was a very special day for our Liesel. She was baptized in the Alpine Tabernacle and became a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. We are so proud of the beautiful girl she is becoming. It was a wonderful day for our whole family!Congratulations Liesel! It was especially neat that Liesel's brother, Jesse was able to baptize her. This is Jesse's first baptism in our family. Lots of wonderful family and friends came to support Liesel on her special day!
I am 19 years old and have accepted a call from the Lord to serve in the Madagascar, Antananarivo Mission. I will be teaching the Gospel of Jesus Christ in French. The Madagascar mission includes 3 other countries besides Madagascar. They are La Reunion, a republic of France, Mauritius, its own country, and the Comoros islands, these are part of the Seychelles Islands. I will be serving first in La Reunion, France. I have been told that it is like the 'Hawaii of France', very tropical, very beautiful, and paradise-like. Sounds good, yeah? I am the second of 6 children and grew up in American Fork, Utah. Before serving my mission I completed 2 semesters at the University of Utah, where I was privileged to be a member of the University of Utah Men's Swim Team. I love animals, the outdoors, swimming, cooking healthy, boating, waterskiing, piano, guitar and spending time with family & friends. I love the Gospel and am dedicated to serving the Lord for the next two years in these beautiful corners of the world!
