"Im not a bit changed---not really.
Im only just pruned down and
branched out. The real me---
back here--is just the same."

Sweet Sister Anna's Milestones
* She drove a car and a club van all by herself; without a backup guide!!
* She got a hug from a boy...."freaky"
* She spent a mediocre amount of time on the Internet..."weird mom!"
* She took a short walk to the administration building...by herself. "I didnt like it"
* She's sleeping (kind of) in a room by herself.
* She stayed up later than 10:30 pm (not much longer)
* She's talking to boys on the phone. "weird mom"
* Shes carefully chosen some 'secular' music to listen to.
What Anna is still not comfortable doing yet!!
*No movies
*No TV
*No radio
*Not comfortable walking past someone without experiencing the urge to speak to them about the Church.
My joy is full. Our home is full of a comforting, inviting spirit since she has returned.
Hallelujah!!!!!!

thank you for raising such a wonderful daughter!!! i look up to her so much!!
Alas my Thank You note to you all hasn't materialized, so can I just express it by saying "Thank You" for a wonderful week-end of good company and good food. We love being together with the Stephensons at your home, feeling so welcomed and loved. Anna, your talk was like a window into your soul. It was easy to see your humility, love for the Gospel and for others and your proximity to the Spirit and the Lord. You bore a perfect testimony of the five points of the Restoration...something we tried to teach our Stake Young Women at Camp and wherever we could. I'm glad that I heard your talk and so very glad that my children and other impressionable ones did too. Thank you!
