Elizabeth Leonard 

What is something that your family likes to do to spend time together?
Movie night!  Pop some corn, grab the blow-up bed, eat pizza and watch movies in the living room.

What is one of your favorite hobbies?
I like to craft and read.  I read slowly and don't get to craft often, but it's a good way to relax me.

What is one of your favorite things about living in Germany?
The opportunities!  For my husband at his job and for our family seeing the world!  We've knocked a few bucket list items off the list since being here so we've been lucky!  It also helped me work out of my comfort cooking zones when I can't just call and order pizza.

My favorite flavor cookie is...
Pink cookies from Utah.  The Grandma cookies!  My favorites and I miss them!

Please share a favorite scripture story.
Noah is my favorite.  His story is amazing!  To trust so fully in our Heavenly Father is awesome!

Probably the best one I have is to have an all out Disney vacation with my husband.  No kids.  It sounds nerdy, but Disney is my happy place!

Anna Lewis

 

What is something that your family likes to do to spend time together?

We really like to go on hikes together.  Now that all of us can actually walk it is fun.

What is one of your favorite hobbies?

I love to read.  I read between two and five books a week.  It's why I have so few friends.

What is one of your favorite things about living in Germany?

I love that everything is always an adventure.  Even grocery shopping.  And something as easy as asking for directions becomes such a triumph when you finish it.

My favorite flavor cookie is...

Chocolate chip cookies.  Natasha Hansen's are apparently the best.  Prove it Natasha.  Prove it.

Please share a favorite scripture story.

Just lately I love the story of the Israelites crossing the river Jordan.  God said he'd part the water, like he did the Red Sea, but he said before he id so they had to step into the river first.  They literally had to get their feet we first before they saw the miracle.  I feel this is true for most of my interaction with the gospel.  I have to take that first step of faith before I see miracles.

Please share a goal on your life's to-do list.

I plan on learning Latin because dead languages are cool.

 

 

Who's Who Part Two

Last night was so much fun! Thank you to everyone who came. There are so many fun personalities in our ward and we're thankful to have gotten a glimpse of the awesomeness that is in our ward.

We also can't wait to meet or get to know those of you who weren't there. There's something that will help with this! We filled out a survey last night! Would those of you who weren't there, be willing to fill it out for us? We have attached it HERE.

Also, there was a sign up sheet we kind of missed sending around. But we want to know what sort of focus groups you are interested in. Please let us know via e-mail or right here what you want to see! We had what seemed like a lot of interest in some DIY stuff.... Sounds like fun!

We gave these out at the end want you to know about this stuff too. It can also be found over there. --------> 

The only thing I'm sad about is that we didn't get more pictures. Did anyone take any? I'm pretty sure we were too busy having fun to even think about it. Thanks again to everyone that came. It really was a hoot!

I’ve gone much more in depth with the story of the stripling warriors now that all I have is little boys. It would be nice for some of their characteristics to rub off on them. My favorite scriptures to read through are any scriptures in the New Testament with the savior.

Hike the tallest mountain of each state we live in as a family once the boys are old enough.
