Mission Reunion

Berny's Mission President and his wife, President and Sister Lake, recently gave their homecoming talk and we were able to go to Utah and hear it. I was so happy that we went, it was so much fun. I loved meeting all of Berny's mission friend and hearing all of their embarrassing stories about Berny. Actually I don't know it I had more fun hearing all their embarrassing stories about Berny or telling them all of my embarrassing stories about Berny. Either way, I think we bonded :) hehe. But I really loved meeting President and Sister Lake, they were wonderful and so loving to all of their missionaries. I can really see why Berny loves them so much. President Lake told me about a nickname that he gave to Berny in the mission, that was inspired by a picture that he had in his office of a big work horse carrying a huge load. He said that you could see the strain of the work horse as he hunkered down and gave this job all he had. So Berny's name in the mission was "the work horse." I thought that was pretty funny because that is what I called him when He told me he was going to be taking 19 credits and work two Jobs this year, grrr, I never get to see him but goodness I love love love my work horse :)





Oh ya!! We got there pretty early so we had some fun with the camera. You know sense we all (Whitney) looked so pretty that day. I love my family!!
