Last Sunday in Laos

Since the only branch of our church in Laos is in Vientiane (an overnight bus-ride away), the Mission President gave us permission to hold sacrament meeting in our home while we have lived here. It's been a really wonderful experience in a lot of ways. We've kept it short (usually around 45 minutes) and simple for the kids and in a way, it's been really nice to focus on the simple elements of the gospel and on the sacrament. Though I am really looking forward to being part of a ward, I admit I will miss our sweet, simple family meetings each week.

Oh you are a Sunday sight for sore eyes! So sweet. Anyway, we can hardly wait to see all of you. Brace yourself for the hugs!

Absolutely sweet and adorable. By the time you arrive in the states, I'm sure all the hugs will help calm down the road/travel warriors. A few days to adjust to the time change and everyone should be up and running like a fine tuned watch. Love you and safe travels.
