Farewell Memories 5-15-2016

May 15th,  2016 - Such wonderful love and support from family and friends as we listened to Cassie's Testimony and said farewell.  We are so blessed to have such amazing support.  We captured wonderful memories.  Thanks to everyone who came share this day with us!

Beautiful Temple Day at Payson Temple!

Saturday April 9, 2016 turned out to be the perfect day for Cassie's
Temple Day.  It was a bit blustery and rainy, which is Cassie's preferred weather days!  Rain makes her happy.  It also made for some
interesting and Beautiful photos of the day!

We were so excited and honored to join her in this time of learning and progression.  We are so very proud of Cassie and all she has accomplished!

  
The Temple looked beautiful and so did Cassie!

  

What a beautiful girl & beautiful day.

 That's Our Girl!!  LOVE HER!

 Couldn't be happier for her.

 To make the day even more special, Cassie wore the same dress that Kim (Mom) wore when she went to the temple for her first time.  Nifty.  She opted for a different top, because "Shoulder Pads just aren't cool anymore."  LOL  I couldn't agree with her more!!!
 

The Devil HATES Future Missionaries

When I was first waiting for my call everyone kept telling me that as soon as I got it the Devil was gonna come at me with all the fire he's got down in hell. I listened but didn't really believe them. Well after I opened my call I was super excited!!! ... Then I spent 3 1/2 hours waiting in line for my passport. That's a lot of thinking time. Well I started getting these thoughts in my mind. Things to create worry, fears and doubts. "Is this what I'm suppose to be doing?" "Am I giving up my chance to meet Mr. Right?" "Will I be able to learn the language?" "Will something go wrong while I'm there?" "WHAT IF I DIE?" All of these thoughts have gone through my mind. Because the devil knows how to get to me.

BUT That doesn't mean that I let him. In moments when the thought was small id say a quick prayer. Sometimes though I'd be in tears wondering if it's right. But as soon as I knelt down and prayed a gentle peace came over me. I know what I'm doing is right. I can't wait to get out in the field! I'm sending Satan back down where he belongs. He isn't getting this future missionary!!!
