When we came home from work today, we were pleasantly surprised by the receipt of a distinct white envelope from Salt Lake City. Although we were exhausted from the day, we could not wait to hear the news. We gathered in our living room, freshly filled with new sunlight from an additional bay window. Two cameras converged on the family, especially upon the reader of the letter. She opens it carefully and reads slowly but distinctly. Jessica reads, "Sister Tsai, you are hereby called to labor in the Colorado Denver South Mission for a period of 18 months. You are to enter the Missionary Training Center on September 2, 2009." We all cheered in excitement. Deep down in our hearts, we are so grateful that Jessica can have this opportunity to serve full-time as a missionary when the Lord wants her to serve.
2024 was Ben's first full year of retirement from full-time federal government service. However, he decided to continue teaching engineering classes part-time at the local Montgomery College and fulfilled a dream this fall in teaching a math class. He picked up pickle ball, worked on family history, and started other projects. This year Li-Fang served as a counselor in the Relief Society Presidency at church and coordinated almost weekly activities for the women. Among these were rehearsals for line dance, social dance, and Latin dance. She is still having fun teaching private piano to more than a dozen students and art and sewing at VisArts. In the summer, we visited our children in Utah and returned to Taiwan. We are grateful for life and its many beautiful blessings. Merry Christmas from the Lin's! Life is good; kids are growing… In January, Trey is going to Primary and Blake will be going to Young Men's! Grace is still everyone’s frie...
