Elder Holland followed by home leave

Nothing can ever compare to a visit from an Apostle and is even better and I shouldn't say this but when is elder Holland visiting you. He is the best! He told Daniel, that in the 30 years he has known him, he has never seen him so happy and he thanked me. That was probably the highlight of his visit. We only waited for him to leave when we headed back to Utah as well for our home leave.

As  we were in Utah, we got a call from Ani who was about to give birth a few weeks earlier than expected. I was also scheduled to have surgery on both hands for my carpel tunnel but somehow we managed to buy a plane ticket to come over as quickly as we could to meet the new grandson. Christopher Krone. He was born on June 29th 2014. e went back for the blessing which was a miracle that Daniel even got to be in the circle as we came one second before Spencer was about to pronounce the blessing. We left that morning with just enough time to get there it was an hour and a half drive from Papillos to Beatrice and that was exactly how much time we had but Pablo had to stop to get gas and those extra ten minutes made us late. The meeting had started and only because we were hoping and wishing and praying Daniel wouldn't miss the chance to be in the prayer circle we managed to come right when they were all gathered to give him the blessing. We are so blessed Chris is a beautiful healthy baby and this picture is proof of it. Somehow we managed to do a few fun things like going to the zoo for Danielitos birthday and to see Somehow we managed to do a few fun things like going to the zoo for Danielitos birthday and to seethe play Wicked!
