Sorry, no pictures. I just wanted to write about my nice autumn day. Autumn is my all time favorite season and this afternoon I got to spend time outside in the crisp air raking leaves and cleaning up the flower beds. I didn't want this Autumn to slip by without my participation.
Today my friend Kiel and I also attended our Bishop's wife's funeral. She had been battling an aggressive form of cancer since June. When you are in a singles ward, your bishopric kind of becomes more sets of parents and it is quite sad to have her leave. I can only imagine how hard it is for her children, especially the one that is my age and is engaged. It would be very hard to have your mother absent for your wedding and grandchildren. However, there is a silver lining or two. She doesn't have to suffer anymore. Also, it is such a blessing to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints and have the knowledge that we will see our loved ones again after this life on Earth is over. With the amazing and sacred sealing power, our families can truly be TOGETHER FOREVER!
How neat is that !?! I love the gospel and the hope and stability it brings to our lives. It is sad to have her removed our Earthly lives, but the story isn't over and that is so exciting!

Amazing truths of the Gospel help us so much through life.. can you imagine trying to complete a day without it? Candace was an amazing woman. don't know how much you really knew her, but her spirit was so strong...Love and miss her.. but she is being a wonderful missionary on the other side... right along with my mom...
