August 11, Sunday events

It was a happy Sunday for the Christensen family.  All of our 6 children spouses and finance, and grand kids, aunts, uncles and cousins were with us at church and throughout the day.  Our hearts were full of gratitude for our wonderful family bond, and the occasion for which we were gathered.

Collin was the last speaker in our sacrament meeting.  He had spent much time preparing and he commented how he had loved studying the scriptures and talks in preparations, but there was just too much to use.  He was a little nervous about narrowing it down, and knowing just what to share.  As it turned out, he did select his material well, and it was very apparent that the spirit was resting on him as he shared his testimony.  It was wonderful.

Here is an audio link to his talk.  Collin's farewell talk

We enjoyed having our family and friends join us in the evening.  Here are just a few pictures.
