Tanna set this dinner date up. She told me she needed to talk and things worked out so we were able to. It's funny how over the years friendships grow and are strengthened when we need them to be. Over the past several years we have become closer to this cute couple and their family. We love them to pieces. We continue to have more in common with them. Being the older couple makes it possible for the Monson's to lean on us.....for that reason I am thankful that we have had the experiences we have so that we can share what we've learned with others as they go through their own similar experiences. I think we are all put in the right place at the right time to help others and to also receive the help we need. It's part of Heavenly Father's wonderful plan of happiness!
It's been fun watching the Monson's grow in the Gospel. They are good people with strong testimonies and a lot of love for one another. It's fun listening to their experiences as Eric serves as Bishop. I remember when a leader in our Church told one of our leaders that Eric was missing out on some callings because of his facial hair. Eric was told about that and shaved and has been a leader ever since. Their family will be blessed for all the efforts of Tanna and Eric. Their faith is strong and will carry them through the "bump in their road" at this time. Oh how I love this couple!
