A treasure from Daisy

Dasiy - - - A Snow Angel

Daisy and the her sons that love her as we do.

There are few things in life that last for a person's life time.


I was blessed to baptize a person in Brazil while I served a mission a number of years ago.
Her name is
Daisy.
She has become part of our family as has her kids. My oldest son and his family vacationed in Brazil this past August. In return, they brought back a treasure that I hold dear to my heart.


A canvas that was touched by Daisy as she created the beauties that surround us on this earth. But. . . what I hold dear is what is located in the lower right hand corner of the painting.
Her signature !!!!!
DAISY

It is worth the time to enlarge the photo to see the signature.


I hope Daisy feels pride as I do to have her painting hanging in the place I call home.
If any of you have the choice blessing to meet Daisy. . . Do me a favor . . .
Give her a hug from . . . Elder Elggren

Summer of 2009

The exchange program brings almost 100 kids into our lives. They arrive in late July and leave late August. Dancing is part of the camp that is run to get them use to Utah and get over the jet lag they have.
This past summer the video camera became part of my body as I shot five and half hours of video for the exchange program that Sharon is incharge of.


Now that summer is lost in the colors of the hills, other things replace the items that governed our lives. Such as attempting to update and tackle the learning curve of "Blogging"
Welcome Back!!!!!!
