Grandpa and Kohen in Nauvoo

Nikki and Kohen surprised us this week for Trisha's upcoming birthday. We were abe to take Nikki and Kohen with us to speaking assignments and meetings. They got to experience the Mississippi river, Nauvoo temple and Leadership meeting. At Leadership meeting this week we had a new missionary. He is one of our new Assistants. Kohen got along with the Elders just fine. The Elders are working with him on his sleep disorder and his strange eating habits. He will be just fine. Today is his 6 month birthday so we all celebrated after the meeting. Grandpa also got the questionable experience of changing dirty diapers.
