Memorial Day Weekend

While Jayson was serving his mission in Japan he met and baptized a wonderful man named Junya. Junya was coming to the US for work, so he decided to come over our way and visit us while he was is the US. We had him with us for 5 incredible days. It was so neat to be able to get to know him better, and to know what an awesome man he is. All of us were very sad to have him leave, but we knew his family was anxious to have him home again. We are so grateful for all that we experienced this weekend, and we know that this could be a once in a life time opportunity. What a great time we had.

Dance Recital

Last night Katelyn and Christine had their final dance recital for the year. Both of them did so good. Katelyn is quite a natural dancer and is very particular about staying with the beat. She did a beautiful job. This is Christine's first year of dance, and she requires a lot of work. But I must say, she did 99 times better this time then at their Christmas recital. Christine was so funny at the Christmas recital, just standing there looking at all the other girls with her finger in her mouth. We just laugh looking back at the video of that performance. But this performance, she practiced everyday, and she did a wonderful job. This time several other girls in her class were watching her to see what they were suppose to do next. The girls' teacher is the mother of 7 children and approx. 40 years old. She did the most incredible dance where she stood on two chairs and bent over backwards and picked up a hanky off the floor with her teeth. Talk about flexibility. I turned to Jayson and said, "I could totally do that!" He just winked at me and smiled. It was a really fun evening, and I am so proud of the girls and how well they did.
