Today the men took over the primary so that the women could all attend relief society together. It was a fantastic hour. I don't think there was a dry eye in the room after the meeting was over. It was so what I needed to hear. We watched a clip on Emma Smith and all during the clip my thoughts kept turning to the past 3 years and how much Jon and I have grown together. I found myself thinking about the trials we have faced while in school and then being reminded about the growth that came from each one. I could see how much my testimony has grown and the friends I have made while being here in the village. I could see the times where one of these sisters touch my life and help me continue on when I felt like I could not. I was reminded today that I am stronger than I think am. And that I will be ok when we leave the comfort of the village and move on to the next stage in life. The gospel no matter where we are in the world is the same and just knowing that should bring us the comfort we need to keep pushing forward.

Baby Lilly can smile!

While celebrating mothers day with my mom We took some pictures of Lilly and my new niece Kaitlyn. Lilly decided this was a great time to show off her cute smile. I loved it. She seemed so little to me until I had her next to Kaitlyn. She has gotten so big.

Jon graduated on May 6. Jon has worked so hard over the past 6 years to get to this point in his life. He has worked full and gone to school full time. This has meant that he has had many late nights. But he very rarely complained about it. Jon loves helping people and being a social worker he will get to do just that. Jon always thinks of others first. Often putting his needs last just to make sure that other are taken care of. I know he has chosen the right field. I am so proud of him and all his hard work.
