Dear Nauvoo Friends--Well, we sent half of our email Christmas letters out several days ago and then got busy with the season's busy-ness. This morning I realized we hadn't sent all of them--mostly to our missionary friends! So--you are in the half that didn't get sent. We miss all of you and hope to see you in the near future--maybe at the next reunion, maybe in Costco or at the doctor's office. Hope you had a great Christmas Day.
Love,
Liz and Steve Laney
Dear Friends,
It's been about four months since returning home to Payson, Utah from our beloved Nauvoo. What a sweet experience it was to
spend 18 months in the sacred City of Joseph. We miss all of you, Rendezvous, painting in the historic sites and missionary
homes, taking pictures of you, serving in the sites, being close to the beautiful temple, spectacular Mississippi River sunsets, the
abundance of wildlife and, again, all of you!
Since we have been home, we have attended the wedding of our
oldest grandson, watched a son run a marathon, attended soccer
and football games with grandsons, had a granddaughter receive
her mission call to NY, NY South Mission (Spanish speaking), and
have been praying for a premature (26 weeks) great
granddaughter born in November at 1 lb 6 oz. and who is,
thankfully, doing well. We've also spent a considerable amount of
time reclaiming the farm and house and doing some much needed
painting (yes, that is PAINTING!). Well, now that we know
everything we ever wanted to know about painting, we thought we
ought to put that knowledge/skill to good use at home. We're back
singing in the ward choir--getting ready for the Christmas program
on Sunday and have callings to serve in Scouts and Primary.
We've finally received some significant snow here and we are
enjoying the fact that we don't have to go anywhere in it. All of our
Children were able to come to our home for the annual Christmas
Party earlier this month and now there is a little peace and quiet here with just the two of us, one dog, six horses, a flock of
chickens and a mess of cats.
We have so much enjoyed
hearing from many of you
and hope to see you all at the
Mission reunions and any
other time you are in the
area. You are always
welcome in our home. Let us
know if you need a stopping
off place, we have lots of
extra bedrooms and plenty of
room.
May you all enjoy the spirit of
the Savior at this season as
we celebrate His birth.
Laney residence 5256 W 10400 S Payson, UT 84651 801-361-8950 rosecrestinn@yahoo.com
With our love,
Steve and Liz Laney
