Dear Friends, December
2011
We wanted to wish you a
very Merry Christmas and celebrate with you this precious time of rejoicing in the
birth of Christ. We hope this letter
finds you healthy and happy.
We have had a beautiful
year of living and learning—not because we are without trials, but because the
Lord is lifting us IN them.
Joshua is now our Ward Mission Leader and we are learning more everyday
as we get to share the gospel with others in our area. We are working hard to raise our children in
light and truth and are ever grateful for the grace of the Atonement that is
able to make up for all that we lack.
Allie (7) is growing into
a beautiful girl. She is developing her
drawing skills and enjoys being a kid.
Teren (5) loves being
‘big’ like her sister. She loves to take
charge and is learning to do it in a good way.
Saria (3.5) is a giggly
little girl who loves to laugh and chase Allie around the house.
Spencer (22 mo’s) loves to
play outside and go for rides with Dad. (I
won’t mention the princess dresses and how he loves to try on shoes. I guess it can’t be helped with 3 older
sisters.)
I (Pennie) have been learning so much this last year from
people like Kirk Duncan, Leslie Householder, and Ty Bennett. I have feel a serge of personal victory and
look forward to the journey ahead. By
the way, I wanted to share this free gift with you if you are interested. I am taking a class from Ty Bennett right now
on the power of Story Telling and he sent me this for Christmas. It is an audio called “The Power of Belief”. It is the closest thing I have seen in our
time to “As a Man Thinketh” if you’re familiar with James Allen. I love it and am learning so much. If you do check it out, I’d love for you to
share what you learn with me and share the journey with you! Here’s the link: http://leadershipinc.com/gift (He does have you put in your email but you can cancel
anything afterward you don’t want. He is
honorable and will not sell your info.)
If there
is ever anything we can do to help you to, please let us know. We’d love to hear from you and share the
journey with you.
Merry Christmas ! We love you.
Love, The Rumsey’s
Josh & Pennie May 2011 Spencer,
Saria, Grandma Carol, Teren & Allie
