People! Part I

August 22, 2013

I have a collection of pictures and things that happened that didn’t get posted during the summer. They were tiny adventures or a few hours here and there that made our summer such a good one. I’m very thankful for the good things that I was blessed with–those “good things” came in the form of […]

What Denver Taught Me

July 24, 2013

I’m struggling because I want to tell you everything–all of the sights, smells, sounds, and turmoil. There’s not time or space for that, neither is there time for a chronological recounting of each day. If you give me the better part of an hour and a cup of tea, I’ll gladly give you the highlights […]

Utah Part 1

Sandra Tanner, the great-great granddaughter of Brigham Young, an ex-Mormon, and founder of Utah Lighthouse Ministries, was […]

Utah Part 4

June 21, 2012

DAY 4: Our trip was not finished. Its hard to believe all that had happened in 3 days! We spent the morning doing work projects around the Blue House where we had been staying. It was a way that we were able to invest back into the ministry. Some worked on clearing the garden area, […]

Midway

June 30, 2010

So, we’ve already hit the half-way mark in our summer, which is truly hard to believe! We spent the last few weeks preparing for our church youth group’s summer missions trip to Paonia, Colorado. We spent last week on the actual trip. I was granted the responsibility of cooking for the group, which was a […]
