Well done, my Servant

My niece, Sister Hayley Paul, arrived home from her LDS mission to Lithuania, on June 24th at 10:39 pm. We were able to drive down to St. George and be there for her arrival. It was so much fun! I am so proud of Hayley and her righteous desires to serve the Lord.

The children got so excited just before her arrival that they were losing their minds. They were running around screaming and jumping up and down. I got very teary-eyed thinking of the spirit world, after this life, and the excitement our loved-ones must feel as we are returning from our mission on earth. Wow! I'm quite sure there must be the same kind of "buzz" and joy. How blessed I feel to have a testimony and knowledge that life exists after this world and especially to know that my family can be eternal.
While is St. George we were able to stay an extra day and participate in more family fun. My niece, Ahnalisse, had her senior violin recital at the St. George Tabernacle. She is so talented! She played for about 36 minutes straight and even performed a piece that she composed herself. I am so proud of her.

My other niece, Rachel, played her harp in a piece with Ahnalisse. Wow, these young women are talented and beautiful. I love you girls!
