Jenice visits

Jonathan's mom hasn't been able to visit for years because of the bad health of his dad. She came to visit us in January and just so happened that her sisters husband Norman who lives in the area was getting baptized and so we all were able to go.

Grant's friends came twice within about a month to visit and just hang out. These guys are good friends from Cedar Falls, IA and they missed Grant
