I needed help installing shelves in my garage so Paul and Jake decided to give me an early Father's Day present by helping me all day. Last week Paul and I had made our 23 foot beam out of nine … [Read more...]

If you can handle a full resolution (4700 x 3303) 10.8 … [Read more...]

We visited the Sacramento California Temple on Day Four of our California Temple Trip. In the morning we were at the Oakland Temple and late afternoon we traveled to the Reno Temple.

The First Presidency of the Church … [Read more...]
