I finally got the opportunity to go to North Carolina. Andrews Grandmama passed away and we took the opportunity to go and have the family meet Brighton and me to meet some of the family i have not met before. It was so nice being able to go to the funeral of his grandmama. I met her a few times and she is just a spitfire! She has made me several cards and sent them to me in the mail, ( i found out that was her tradition) and it was loved from all the kids. We stayed in La Grange at one of the family friends cabin and it was beautiful. Needless to say Andrew and I loved it there so much that we even looked at a house to buiy while we were out there... but my manager would not let me transfer!:( I am grateful for the gospel in times when a loved one passes because it makes it so much less painful to know that you will be with them for eternity. I learned a little more about grandmama and her relentless missionary spirit. I take a look at my husbands family and it all links back to how strong she was in her faith and her KNOWING and beleiveing the church was true. My mother in law being one of her daughter shad 9 kids which are all so wonderful and i know that they go to learn so much from grandmamas example.
