Have you ever wished you could be in two places at once? This past week was one of those times for us. Our daughter, Reachel and her husband Andrew blessed us with our 10th grandchild. We are thankful for modern technology which enabled us to see our grandson just minutes after he was born. We felt a part of the wonderful experience, but we still wanted to be there to help and to be part of this special time. He was born on July 7, 2015. His delivery was so quick that we still have not received all of the vital statistics - but we know that he is perfect.
We are grateful for the opportunity we have to serve in New Zealand at this time. We are also thankful that the Lord has seen fit to bless our family with this new little boy. **Just so you know - we have another daughter who will also bless us with another grandchild by the end of July. "Double blessings" for our service? It will be a long 8 months before we can snuggle and hold these little ones, but we also know that this is where the Lord wants us at this time.
"A spiritual rebirth can be yours as you serve the Lord in total service. Prayer will have a deeper dimension, and the scriptures will be pondered and more deeply appreciated. The Holy Ghost will become more evident; your capacity to love will increase; your family at home will be blessed, and they will be proud of your selfless service to the Lord." David B. Haight "Feed My Sheep" April 1979 General Conference
