Minnesota Trip

We requested and received permission from our Mission President to leave our mission and take a long weekend to fly to Minnesota for the baptism of our grandson, Michael, and the blessing of another grandson, Bennett, What a special time for us to be together with our children in Minnesota in the middle of our full-time mission... one of the blessings of a state-side mission.

Here are a few pictures of our experiences with our family in Minnesota last week.
