Family Photos, 2019

This is our final family photo shoot with all of our family members for two years. What treasured photos they are. Love every.single.one of these people with my whole heart!

Temple Blessings

One preparation step for a mission is making covenants and receiving special blessings in the temple. We were able to attend the temple with Spencer today, along with our other 4 adult children. What a blessing to have 5 of 8 of our kids in the temple with us, including Elder "Ben" Bushman who just returned home from the Massachusetts Boston Mission.  And we loved having Grandma, cousins and Aunts and Uncles there, too!! Thank you for everyone's support and love.

"Those who understand the eternal blessings which come from the temple know that no sacrifice is too great, no price is too heavy, no struggle too difficult in order to receive those blessings." - Thomas S. Monson

Progressing in the Priesthood

Spencer was ordained to the Melchizedek Priesthood just after his brother, Ben, came home from his mission. What a special day with such wonderful people!

"The Lord made it clear at the very start of this last dispensation that we were to take the gospel to all the world. What He said to the few priesthood holders in 1831 He says to the many now. Whatever our age, capacity, Church calling, or location, we are as one called to the work to help Him in His harvest of souls until He comes again."

—Henry B. Eyring, "We Are One"
