Face TIme with the Hammond Family

Later on Saturday night, we received a request from Tara to FaceTime with the Hammond Family.  It was a delight.  We were able to speak to each one of them for a few minutes as they brought us up to date with each of their lives.  We are very grateful for the technology that allows us to stay in close contact with our children.  We are also thrilled that our grandkids also want to stay in touch with us.  In fact, it was their youngest, Leah, who wanted to speak to “grandma” that prompted the call.

It is our deepest desire that each of our children and grandchildren are able to serve our Heavenly Father as full time missionaries at some point in their lives.  We pray that we are forging new paths, just like our pioneer ancestors of the past and that our children will chose to follow in the future. 

Of course, we also hope that our grandchildren will choose to be missionaries for our Heavenly Father some day soon.  Actually, it is not so far away, as Trisha will tell you, that the date is streaking toward her way too fast.  In less than five years JT will have the opportunity to serve our Heavenly Father as a full time missionary.

For those of you that don't know these lovely faces are clock wise from upper left: Tara and Leah, Jeff,  Kate, Will and Luke Hammond.  An awesome family.  Tara is our youngest daughter.
