The Three Amigos

Tanja and I were able to just go back for the weekend to Louisiana and see Sister Hughes go through the temple.     It was kind of weird going back down mEmOry LAnE!  It was like we were back on the mission again.  It was super fun.

The group that went to the temple

 Sister Hughes was baptized last year and this year she was able to go through the temple.  It was so neat to be able to witness her go through the temple all in white and get sealed to her husband who had just passed away right before we started teaching her.

One of my favorite mission moments was when Tanja and I were teaching Sister Hughes and she would never pray for us at the end of the lesson.  We decided that we would just call on her and shut our eyes and stay quiet until she started to pray...we were all on our knees and she said the prayer.  We were all so excited that we ended up in a DoGGy piLe on the ground!

When we first arrived in Dallas we went to the rent a car place and we got into this car and it had a gps system in it and I said, Wow! You really got a nice car for us!!  We were heading out and the guy at the gate was checking all of our information and realized that we were totally in the wrong car :)  We had to turn around and park the car and go find the other car we had rented.

We got to the hotel late but the next morning we were able to have breakfast with the Malone's, Sister Hughes, Dean Williams and his wife and his mom Terri, Sister Swanson and her husband, and Sister Moses.  It was so much fun!!

The temple session was really good.  We were nervous for Sister Hughes and how she would react.  For the most part it went well but there were some funny parts I will not blog about.  Tanja...I'm sure you are laughing right now if you are reading this :)

The Green Family.  They were one of our favorites!

Dean was able to arrange for Tanja to go sKyDIvInG this time.  She was a pro.  I could hear her the moment she jumped out of the plan screaming!!  I was like, "Dean, do you hear that noise???"  Sure enough, it was Tanja.  We were laughing sooo hard.  haha.  She cracks me up.
