Berning Vacation 2022 came EARLY this year – but we aren’t mad about it! We’ve been thinking of taking the kiddos to Disneyland for the last several years but then COVID happened and we kept postponing it. We finally just decided to go forward with it and I am so grateful that we did – …
Sarah is always up to speak in Primary and she gave another beautiful talk this last Sunday. Love my little one and her sweet testimony. “In the Old Testament there was a prophet named Enoch. He and his people were righteous but they lived in a very wicked world. The Lord blessed His people. The …
