I come to learn that I know much of her family including her father and mother when they were alive.

Actually, it will be 50 yrs. next year, 2008. I had just turned 19 yrs. old
when Dad started the church (Mission), and had only received the Holy
Ghost less than a year before. There was no one else as Dad started the
work with his wife and eleven children. The eldest son had received a
scholarship and was in college and Mom had had her 11th child in Feb. of
that same year. We married in 1959 and when we had our first child, my
baby sister was only two and a half years old. So I helped nurture and
mother my own younger siblings along with our own children. Also helped
mother and nurture the church family.
My siblings and children and our family are very close-knit to this
day. I wouldn't trade places with anyone in the world. I love where
God planted me. Didn't say it has always been easy but it has its
blessings and rewards for sure. We married the next year after Dad
started the mission church. That will be 48 yrs. tomorrow. God has
been SO good and merciful to us.
Blessings,
