Happy Birthday

The month of July is birthday month for two of our grandsons.  Fitz Winters had his fourth birthday on July 7th.  Fitz and his family are temporarily living in our home while their new home is being finished.  Their house is nearly done.  They have an occupancy permit so the nearly two year project is almost completed.

On Saturday, July 27th we had the opportunity to attend a free concert at our Frankfurt church building.  The group performing as Gentri.  It was an amazing concert.

July 30th was Max George's 4th birthday as well.  Both Max and Fitz were born while we were serving our mission in Auckland, New Zealand.  Max and his family were in Utah over the 24th of July Utah holiday so he had two birthday celebrations.  One in Utah and one in Canada.  We are so thankful for these two boys.

Nora Elizabeth has learned to sit up and can now crawl.  She is 8 months old.  She will be a big girl by the time we go home.  She always has a smile on her face.

We love what we are doing in Germany, but we do miss our family.  We truly are thankful for modern technology so we can touch base with those we love.

"If we could look into each other's hearts and understand the unique challenges each of us faces, I think we would treat each other much more gently, with more love, patience, tolerance, and care."  Marvin J. Ashton, April General Conference 1992
