the dress

so here is the wedding dress being modified for Karen to wear to the temple. It is even better than we imagined. Catrina at A Bridal Center in Provo, UT is our expert seamstress, taking a strapless gown and making a seemingly seamless transition to a top fill.

Tommy's baptism

Happy Family, Happy Missionaries!

Stranger things have happened in life...but this one tops them all for the year! [joking] But miracles never cease, and the miracle of my brother accepting the true gospel in his life is definitely one of them. His baptism, May 23, 2009. I (Linda) gave the baptism talk, with Laura giving the Holy Spirit talk, Ken officiating.

Moloka'i mule tour

This was an amzing tour down the sea cliffs of Moloka'i. The mules are surefooted on this more than steep terrain, and are pretty comfortable too. But it was a sacred experience to be in the towns where so many were banashed for leprosy (Hansens disease). There is an excellant book that led us to take this tour, and I highly recommend it.
