Family Bonding

Sam and Rey in a little game of one on one

The 19 Wacky Tenney Cusins

Sam's parents are leaving on their second mission in two weeks. They will be serving in the Cape Town South Africa mission. They will be traveling trough out the mission doing well fare work specificly with employment. Today they spoke in church and then we went to Kathy's house in Colorado Springs for dinner and football and hanging out. It was a nice Sunday. Sam's parents gave great talks. His mom spoke about the Church Well fare System and It's purpose and how and way it was started. Sam's dad's talk also had to do will the well fare system and humanitarian aid given by the church. I feel so blessed and humbled to be a part of an organization that does so much for the people of the world. It is truly amazing what can be accomplished when people forget themselves and direct their energy toward serving others. We really can change the world. Unfortunately the most memorable part of Rey's talk was when he spoke about how we have been given the charge to "feed the naked". Of course he meant "hungry" and he quickly corrected himself but it was too late. It got a good laugh and I'm sure it will make for a fun family joke for years to come. He also reminded us that we are so very blessed and all we have has come from our loving Father in Heaven. We should show our gratitude in all that we do, and the best way to do that is to serve each other and to share what we have been given with those who have less.

They are great examples to us all. We are exited for them and want them to know that they will always be in our prayers. We love you Rey and Marillyn.
