Trip to Georgia

First of all can I just say how amazing it was to go back to Georgia where Daniel served his mission (2007-2009) and meet some of the people that he helped and that helped him. The pictures below are some of those people the upper left corner pic is his mission Pres. and family who will be leaving the end of June. It was so great meeting them. They are awesome people. Sis King was a newscaster for a SLC station, she retired when Pres. King was called to Georgia. The single women holding Haiven has an amazing story I wish she would write her story and publish it. It brought tears to my eyes I held them back really good until we got out in the car and then I let them flow. The lower bottom middle is a member but he was/is the taxi driver for the missionaries. Wonderful man. The lower left is a pic of a member who open her house to us the last two days Thank you so much Sis Moran!!!!!!!!!! They each have a great story behind them it would take way to long to type all of their stories.
The pics below are the many face of little Haiven she was a trooper, she was really thrown off her schedule. She found her feet on this vacation and had fun playing with them. She was very well loved there in GA by anyone who say her. This is Helen GA a little German town. We stayed in a condo here. It was a fun little place.

We took the fun opportunity to go to Babyland General (where the cabbage patch dolls originated) it was a fun 1/2 hour. We watched the birth of a little boy upper right pic, notice blond hair blue eyes, she asked for suggestions to name this little guy. We started saying some names and she wasn't to thrilled with any until we said Jonathon Daniel in which she liked. So this little guy was named after Daniel. You can see in the pic below that she let me hold him. I thought how fun that would be to buy this little man because of the name and he looked like Daniel when he was little. Well I asked how much he was and she said "He is $225.00" I just about dropped the little guy, but I gently handed him back to her.

This is Ana Ruby Falls. Beautiful place!!!!!

This was our last day there, we went to Stone Mountain. Awesome place. I have over 2 hundred pictures on this trip, these are just a few. Again I have to say what an awesome experience it was visiting GA and meeting these many wonderful people in Daniels life. And hearing many stories of his mission.
