First Day..

Monday, Feb 6 : Up at 2am, left home at 3:15am, checked in at DFW for 6am flight. And we didn’t have to remove our shoes, love it when that happens! Arrived in SLC at 7:30ish.

That moment was life-changing!!!   So yes, we have settled in! Elder and Sister Hancock have been a HUGE help to us! Last week we were in Riga, Latvia, for a five day Seminary and Instit...

We will try and figure ou...
