This week was another busy one.  We had a great event, the birth of twins!  One of our inactive members lost a baby when we first got here and then got pregnant with twins and had them this week.  We have visited them a lot and become good friends and have shared a lot with them.  When she got pregnant again she asked Dad for a blessing because she was having problems and he promised her all would be well.  As soon as the babies were born by c- section she wanted another blessing as well as for the babies.  We went to the hospital and were able to go in the nursery where one of the babies was in an incubator and he blessed both of them.  We took them dinner tonight and she is bringing them both home tomorrow.  She has no help, so we will be over there a lot in the next few days.  They will be leaving in a month for a new duty station.  The pictures we included were of another trip to Palmyra with a stake young adult group for baptisms for the dead.  We took 4 down and two had not been there before.  It's always a touching and sweet experience for the soldiers.  They need an uplift and are so glad they went.  One of the pictures is out the back of the Smith Farm house overlooking the sacred grove.  It is pretty barren right now, but still has such a spirit of peace.  Today in the Carthage Ward we had a new Young Adult show up for church along with four new families that just arrived.  The Lord keeps answering our prayers.  Just as thing look bleak and we have lost people new ones come in.  We have so many experiences that testify to how much the Lord loves and cares for His people and we have learned that very little happens just by chance.  Seth and Payton, we are so sad to miss your baptisms, but we know the family will be there to love and support you.  We are so proud of you and we will be thinking of you both.  We are so thrilled to have baby Leah in the family and that Brian and Brooke have moved into their new home.  Life goes on and we love you all and pray for your well being each day!  Love, Mom & Dad
