Authentic Thai




I got a call from one of my favorite companions from my mission, Sister Wasanaa Ratchasud, now Herrin. The first invesitgator that we taught together and who was baptized lives in Springville now. His name is Chris Beckham. Since his baptism he has married a woman named Julie who is a returned missionary and they have two boys with another boy on the way. Chris's dad, Jim Beckham was a huge help to us while we served in the area of Norwalk together. He had a big van and was always willing to take us where we needed to go. He also would take investigators up to the LA Temple in his van. So it was great to be able to teach his son Chris and see him get baptized. They are in the top picture. The bottom picture is of Wasanaa's cute kids, Makayla and Eli. We all gathered for authentic Thai food at Wasanna's house..it was great.

Miles is Walking!

Yea..Miles took a couple of steps on Christmas Eve but when we tried to get him to walk again he wouldn't. Dave and Cicely brought him over to Mom and Dad's today and said that just that afternoon he had decided to start walking. So here are some of his first steps...

No more Pictures!

Miles had just awaken from a nap here and was done with me taking pictures..

Just in case you miss Pancho

Dickson Dinner

Oh how we love the Dicksons. On the Saturday before New Years the Dicksons took Lib, Brad and me out to dinner. We met at Thai Gardens on 9th East. It was so nice to just hang out and be together. We started doing this three years ago at Christmas time. As we left the restaurant it started to snow...
