Happy Reunion on a Sad Note

Many of you already know that we lost one of our friends in Iraq two weeks ago. He died after complications to an appendectomy. It is such a sad time, and we have mourned with the Johnson Family. His funeral was this last Friday. Many people came, and we had the opportunity to reunite with many of our old friends. We were all sad that it took something like this to bring everyone together again, but it felt so good to be around so many familiar faces. It made me realize how important friends are. The whole weekend the scripture story about when the sons of Mosiah were reunited after their mission kept coming to my mind. It was so wonderful to see that everyone was still strong in the gospel. I am going to do better about keeping in contact with old friends!
