Treading Water: Adam's Homecoming

Monday, March 7, 2011

Saturday was a lot of fun. Glen, Eric, Ryan, and Hannah went to the temple while Alex and I shopped.

Then we all went to the airport with a lot of others from Glen's family to welcome Adam home from off his mission to the Lansing, Michigan area.

If you took that picture of the temple, it is beautiful!

I did take the photo. I had to cover up the flash (I don't know how to disable it) and tried to hold the camera still. It's a little bit blurry, but I really like it, too.
Thanks.

How is your family in Brookings?!! My mom said that the coast was evacuated sometime last night into this morning - I hope your parents and their home is alright!

I can't believe that Adam is home already! Beautiful picture of the temple!

“Things of the Spirit need not – indeed should not – require our uninterrupted time and attention. Ordinary work-a-day things occupy most of our attention. And that is as it should be. We are mortal beings living in this physical world. Spiritual things are like leavening. By measure they may be very small, but by influence they affect all that we do.” --Pres. Boyd K. Packer
“The Lord isn’t asking us to load up a handcart; He’s asking us to fortify our faith. He isn’t asking us to walk across a continent; He’s asking us to walk across the street to visit our neighbor. He isn’t asking us to give all of our worldly possessions to build a temple; He’s asking us to … attend regularly the temples already built. He isn’t asking us to die a martyr’s death; He’s asking us to live a disciple’s life.”
