It’s Abby’s birthday today. This girl who has come into our family bringing so much light and goodness right along with her: Right from the start she fit right in and we all promptly fell right in love with her. Because she was so easy-going and down-to-earth…and filled with so much love not only for…
Dave and I got to meet up with Max and Abby this last weekend before they made the rest of their route back up to Provo. We met up to attend a wedding. You see, Max’s last mission companion became such a good friend (he lucked out with such great mission companions!) He was the…
