ELDER HARPER'S AMAZING MISSION PICTURES!

It is always so exciting for a missionary mom to get

new pictures of their missionary. As you can tell by

these amazing pictures, Josh is having a

fantastic mission experience!

As you can tell, Josh is a pretty silly guy. He likes

to kid around and have fun! It is so great to know that

he is having fun on his mission. Although he is having

a great time, he is working hard sharing the good news

of the restored gospel.

Josh has his serious, spiritual side too. He comments

all of the time how much he LOVES to go to the

temple. He says that there is such a feeling of peace there.

Elder Harper and his new companion. Elder Tinneman.

I'm not sure how much success they will have with those

scary faces. Josh is a great Jr. companion though, he is

following his Sr. companion's example. Ha! Ha!

Elder Harper and Elder Arcia. I wonder if the watermelon

is as good in Washington as it is at home?

This is a great picture of Elder Harper and his companions

from the MTC. (Elder Schulthies and Elder Kurtz)

This is at a district meeting. Josh was pretty happy to see

them again. He sure loves these guys and I am sure that they will

be life long friends.

Tiffany and Levi's wedding

Friday Levi Branch and Tiffany Gibson were sealed

for time and all eternity in the Salt Lake

LDS temple.

We are so happy that we were invited to

attend and that we were able to spend an

amazing day with such great friends.

Introducing Mr. and Mrs. Levi Branch.

Best Friends Forever. It is so great to have such amazing

friends. These ladies are truly my sisters. Actually, we are

better than sisters because we chose each other.

My adorable children, Cassidy and Cora. I think that

by this time they were pretty tired.

Ken and David.

Great friends since they were kids.

Levi and Melaney. His second mom. He calls her

the "FUN MOM!"

It's Rodeo Week here in Preston! This year David and

the kids were able to be in the parade. They all had so much fun

throwing candy and waving to everyone.

Our ward primary had a wonderful pioneer activity.

The young men and the young women were asked

to help so my family was able to attend.

David gave wagon rides and the kids helped with

the games and other activities. The girls and I spent

the morning making pioneer bonnets, which was

a fun experience with no pattern. They were far

from professional, but cute anyway! When the activity

was over Cora yelled "Bye Daddy" as her dad

drove off in the wagon. A young boy came up to

her with his eyes wide and asked, "Is your dad a

real pioneer?" It sure was a realistic experience

for the primary kids and I think that the activity was a

huge success! I couldn't resist snapping a few pictures of my

family looking like "real" pioneers.

David and the kids spent the day at Bear Lake, swimming, boating and laying on the beach. Great summer memories!

Elder Harper is having an amazing time on his mission.

Here are a few of the fun moments that he captured on film.
