a heart in new york 1 ~

October 17-22, 2018

We arrived in Buffalo, New York, Mindy picked 

us up, we dropped off our luggage and off we went!

Our first stop was Judes' soccer game!  It was freezing cold and windy! 

Fortunately, I was dressed real warm and Mindy brought lots of heavy blankets.

Jude is fast and does a great job out on the field!

Mindy and I left a little early to drop Tate off at Football practice.  All the 
boys are super athletic and are fantastic in each sport they participate in!

~Let the Party begin~

Face to Face event with 

President Eyring and Elder Holland 

to be broadcast live from Palmyra, NY.

That's Kobe 5th from the left (I'm pretty sure he is rubbing shoulders with Elder Holland)!

My Grandson, KOBE YORK, from Buffalo, NY will be one of the youth who will host this wonderful Face to Face Event! For those of you who are unaware of what the Purpose of this occurrence is, I took the definition right off the website, 

"Youth will understand that they are not alone, feel connected with other youth from around the world, and know that they are part of a great cause".  

What an amazing experience for the youth all over the world!

We will be staying up til 1am to watch Kobe live (we are still overseas 

but don't want to miss this once in a lifetime occasion)! So excited!

~Family is Everything

I love you so~

There are many things in life that will bring

a person happiness.  For me, along

with my Testimony of Jesus Christ,

my most important and prized possession

is my family, who has brought me joy,

happiness and fulfilment.

I’m so thankful for my husband and my children and their respective spouses

and my grandchildren.  They are examples of righteous living and are

hard-working people who contribute to society each and every day!

I’m thankful for the Gospel of Jesus Christ and the knowledge that I have 
of the love and help we can get from Heavenly Father and Jesus Christ.

As we continue to be disciples of Christ;

being true to our beliefs, standing strong

in our testimony and sharing our love and conviction

of the Gospel with others, this is where true joy will be found.

Our family has shared many wonderful adventures

but the one that we enjoy the most is the continual 
journey that we are on that will bring us closer to Christ 
and take us back to live with our Heavenly Father.
