Groundhog Day snowed over and over again.

our Missionaries and Temple Presidency

not too bad for a couple of oldies.  We love all of you and want you to know we are having an amazing adventure and highly recommend everyone to prepare for this kind of adventure serving the Lord. It is the best of everything serving in the Temple 5 days a week and serving as Ward support on Sunday's.  It doesn't,t get better than that!  One of our investigators in the Niagra Ward was baptized this past Sunday.  We are so proud of the changes she has made for her and her granddaughters.  We love you Tina

oops! Those falls are the Rochester falllsl not the Niagara Falls. That is what I get for being in a hurry before going off to the Temple

Favorite Memory

One of  our favorite times of the day in the Palmyra is around 10 am in the Celestial Room  At that time of day the morning the sun shines brilliantly through the stained glass windows in the Celestial Room .  It takes your breath away!  I member the first time I witnessed this amazing experience  when I walked through the door and was taken back by he magnificence of the sight.

A morning at the Niagara Falls

A morning at the Niagara Falls was enjoyed after we dropped our Missionary friend off at the Hospital to spend the day with her husband who is recovering from a stroke a month ago.  Brother Hadley is slowly gaining ground, but it has been a slow go for him.

We made a quick stop at the Niagara falls on the way home.  The morning was quiet and we enjoyed the privateness of the morning.  As we looked down there was a female deer grazing on a small island just under us in the middle of the city of Rochester.  Wow!  We never thought we would see that.  What a unexpected surprise!    This is where we saw her just under the bridge.

This is the Upper Niagara Falls. An amazing sight!  The sound is magnificent to hear.

This is he lower falls with a beautiful park around it. A wonderful quiet spot to see.  We found a small pastry shop near by to enjoy some hot chocolate and pastries.  This will be a place we come back to again.  

We are enjoying this mild winter here in New York.  They all tell us this is not Normal!  We are smiling and enjoying every minute!

A small spot of green in the Sacred Grove in Winter. Bloom where you're planted!

The other day walking through the Sacred Grove, I came upon a spot of green amonst the dead leaves everywhere.  It reminded me that each day we need to fill our hearts with love for others and let our light shine amid the confusion of the world and share the Gospel with others through our testimonies.

The foot print of a Racoon in the mud in the Sacred Grove.  It is about the size of the bottom of a small pop bottle.  He left his mark for me to see.  It brought a big smile to my face!  Let us be mindfull of the path we leave for others to follow.
