Visiting the Johns for Claire's Blessing



We were so happy we could fly to Utah for several days to be with the Johns family for Claire's baby blessing. It was a very special Sabbath day as we gathered in the Johns ward for our meetings and for Claire's blessing. Daddy Gary gave a beautiful blessing to Claire Myreel Johns. Her middle name is after Crismon's mother, Myreel Smith Lewis. Claire's great-grandmother. Grandpa has a special way with children. They adore him, even little babies.


The weather was beautiful for us to take some pictures before their meetings. They have a big family! What a difference just one more makes.

Alice-Anne is a beautiful, wonderful mother. We are so very thankful for this gift of another baby to their family. Because of some health struggles Alice-Anne was having, we weren't sure she would be able to have more children. So, the announcement and arrival of sweet Claire is a joyous blessing beyond measure.

I was grateful my sisters, Meredith & Kathi were able to come and then Randy, Norene, and Corbin arrived later for lunch and visiting. It was wonderful! Alice-Anne and Gary prepared a delicious meal for everyone to enjoy. Gary's siblings and nieces and nephews were there, Nathan & Stephanie, Keith & Emily, Ryan & Molly, and Sarah & Daniel were so supportive. Paul & Linda Johns are serving on their mission as Area Medical Advisors and are located in our mission. Emily & Bronson joined us as well and Emily takes such great pictures of all of our occasions. It was a very special day. One that we cherish very much.
