Iowa

From the 14th -16th Alex and I drove to Maquoketa, Iowa to attend the Funeral of Grandma Shady who passed away on Monday, the 11th. She was well beloved not only by her family but all who knew her. Her life was dedicated to serving others in any way possible. You never felt as a stranger around Grandma Shady. If you had no where to go for the Holiday's you were always welcome to her house and you always felt welcome. We are all better for knowing such a great individual. Though we were not biological descendents, we were treated as such, for she truly demonstrated the pure love of Christ. For a lady who gave all and yet gained all. May you rest in peace Grandma.

The Corn Stalks.......

Good times at the Corn Maize.

Here's a little of everything. Hope you enjoy.

The beginnings of Fall

Ok, I guess the sunrise doesn't really fall under this title, but it's still nice to look at. Something that Kansas is known for is the vast fields, so I thought with the beginning of Fall I would take some pictures of how the colors illuminate the fields.

Open House

Our ward decided to do an open house per the missionaries of which went pretty well. Since it was a three ward activity each auxiliary was assigned to the different wards. We were assigned the Primary, of which I was volunteered to be the spokes person for. I had a lot of fun and as you can see, I took a lot of pictures of our beautiful set-up which another sister in our ward, Eliza put together. All that were in the building commented on our fabulous display. It explained the principles of the Primary as well as the programs that fall under it very well.


Para mi familia solo quiero explicar un poco de que se tratan estas fotos. Tuvimos una noche donde abrimos la capilla para gente en el vecindario que nos son miembros para investigar la Iglesia y tambien para dar oportunidades a los miembros traer amigos y exponerlos al evangelio. Nuestro barrio estaba encargado de hacer una presentacion de la primaria y estaba encargada de contestar preguntas de los que pasaron por la sala. Fue un buen tiempo, aun cuando quisiera haber visto mas gente. Los misioneros organizaron la actividad y como fue la primera que han echo, creo que podemos mejorar un poco para la proxima. Todo esta en ingles, pero pueden identificar las fotos que los chicos de la Primaria pintaron y los libros que usamos. Saludos a todos.

Another Sunrise

Some more pictures of a sunrise. How I love taking these pictures :)

Aqui tome mas fotos del sol apareciendo brillantemente en el nuevo dia. Abajo saque fotos de un insecto que aparecio para darme una visita. Lo encontre tan interesante y nunca habia visto este insecto tan grande ni con los colores entonces me mantuve a sacar algunas fotos. Espero que les gusten.

Unexpected Visitor

On Saturday I went for my morning run before General Conference and when I had arrived home I was greeted by this creature. I had not seen a grasshopper this big and this colorful before, so I decided I just had to take a few minutes to take some pictures. I am glad I did. Such amazing color. What a wonderful creation.
