Gayla Gardner Astle - Dammeron Valley Ward              

Dear Sisters of the St George North Stake,

What a joy we have by trying to live the gospel of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.

I loved the talk of Pres Dieter Uchtdorf.  “O How Great the Plan of our God”.  Practice gratitude for all our blessings.  Record   experiences which we have felt gratitude for the blessings of the gospel in our lives.

This year my husband and I will be married 65 years.  We were married in the Salt Lake Temple.  We have 5 wonderful children one daughter and 4 sons.  They have all been married in the Temple.

We were born and raised in Star Valley Wyo.  Our desire is to go back to Star Valley and do a session in the new Star Valley Temple. Our oldest son and his wife have planned a reunion in Star Valley so all who can do a session in the Temple. The older great grandchildren will do baptisms. We number 86 family members.

Dee and I have had a wonderful life together happy and sad times.  Our darling daughter died this year. We miss her so much but will celebrate her life at the reunion.  We have one grandson and a great grandson on Missions to Ecuador and Africa.

We are so grateful that we can show   gratitude   and love for our Savior by keeping close to our families and by encouraging them to do the same.

May the blessings of the Lord be with each of you.
