It sure was nice to see my daughter Ashley, she had a 16 hour flight from Dubai to San Francisco.

We stayed in the room most of the time except for a quick trip to the store.

Ashley ordered us room service & we ate a delicious pizza & watched movies. 

After, Lindsay & Ky drove me to Sacramento where I caught a Greyhound Bus & went back to Redding, Lindsay & Ky drove to Utah. Brittany stayed an extra day & caught a plane to Bali, Ashley left a day after Brittany & went back to her home in Dubai.

I can't wait for the day Ashley moves back to the U.S., I miss her!

my grandbaby loves his back scratched so much that he fell asleep.
I love my lil Kyden Magoo!

Raynis Baptism, Rose's Wedding in my new ward

Sat, Apr. 12 The Sister missionary's invited me to a baptism & a wedding they put together. Such a spiritual day, it really touched me to see a 12 year old lil girl make a big decision like this. Her family were all non members except her older sister. We sang "When I Am Baptized" and the lil girl Rayni bore her testimony.

This is Elder Johnson & Rayni 

Elder Johnson is from Orem, UT. a block away from my brother & sister & is serving the Redding, CA area.

My Gbaby Ky Loves Jesus

Jesus

My lil 3 yr old grandson found a pic of Jesus on a card that the missionaries left @my house & says, "who is this dranma?" I said, "thats a picture of Jesus, he died on the cross for us & thats why we celebrate Easter." He said, "whats a cross?" I said, "its like gmas but only bigger, made with wood." 

Later in the car, I noticed he held onto the picture of Jesus which really touched my heart.

Ky: "Dranma, why did Jesus die on the cross?" 

me: "so we can be forgiven of our sins"

Lindsay: "dranma, tell him what sins are"

me: ...thinking really hard & wondering what have I started. "when we are mean to others, that is a sin. We should always be nice to everybody. Jesus died on the cross so we could be forgiven"

Lindsay: "keep goin mom"

me: "Jesus is happy when we are nice." 

They both seemed satisfied with what I said but that was difficult and reminded me that I need to study. Today I really wish I had story books about Jesus to read to my grandson, he's at a fun age where he always has lots of questions. I love him so much!
