Last weekend, Jacob went on his first overnighter youth activity! He was so excited and had a really great time. The young men and young women from our ward went up to Estes Park and stayed at the YMCA of the Rockies. The first night, they had a devotional about the Atonement. In the morning, …
For Christmas this year, Mark gave Jacob, Sarah, and Benjamin tickets to the Colorado Symphony. This was a first for the kids and this last weekend they were able to attend.
