Light The World With Christ - The Reason For The Season


 2021 has been a year of great joy and sweet sorrow as we welcomed a wonderful grandson-in-law, Alex Tenney, into our family, increasing the total number of our family to 57. However, with deep sadness, we lost a precious grandson, Austin Williams. Only our Savior understands the exquisite emotions of our hearts, and so we trust in Him and his perfect promise: "My peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you. not as the world giveth, give I unto you." Truly there is peace in Christ, and we have been blessed to receive it often and in countless ways, especially in the Temple, our place of peace and true refuge. 

May the world and each of you obtain that peace and lasting joy during this sacred season, with faith and trust in him always to understand our hearts. 

Merry Christmas with Love, 

Roger and LeAnn

Hi LeAnn~

I hope you guys had a wonderful Christmas! Ours was nice. We celebrated with everyone on Christmas Eve, and went and had dinner with Amber and James on Christmas day, it was nice and quiet. It has been snowing here all week, in fact just this morning we got over an inch of snow with high winds - now we have high drifts! Driving was a nightmare! Our New Years will be a quiet one, most likely. Jessica and Ben's oldest son will be ordained a Teacher on Sunday, so we will go down there if the roads are good. It's hard to believe that these kids are growing up so fast! I will be having surgery on Monday for a deviated septum, I know, it sounds fun right?!

Have a wonderful New Year and stay safe. What a joy you both are in our lives, we love you!

Hugs,
Barb
