Below are some thoughts I wrote here and there on this sad day...
December 31, 2011
Sabbath morning Jonathan and I wake up. Today we are planning on doing a
branch Sabbath school, in the afternoon, near the big bridge toward

The year 2011 has gone by quickly in our minds. It was full of
challenges, yet full of blessings. We thought we would share a summary
