Sister Laura Schneider

On Sunday we had an open house for Laura. It was so great to have so many people come out to wish her well on her mission. We're blessed to have wonderful people in our lives. She got set apart today as Sister Schneider for the next 18 months. It was a really special experience for our family to all be there together for that. She reports directly to Sao Paulo, Brazil to the MTC. She is there for a couple months and then will go to her field which is Belem, Brazil. We are so proud of her. Coming from a family of all girls, it wasn't assumed that any of us would go on a mission. My mom served in Norway and we loved hearing her stories. When Laura decided that is what she wanted to do, we were so excited for her. Belem is in Northern Brazil by the Amazon. HOT, HOT, HOT.

Sainsbury's in Starkville, MS

Tom and I decided to go visit the Sainsbury's this weekend. We forgot how much energy the boys have! We loved it! They are one of our favorite families to be with. We miss them! We went to Mississippi State on Saturday and checked out the tailgating scene and everything going on before the football game. They are serious tailgaters there!
