The Benson's with Ally and Sister Roberts...
This picture was just taken yesterday at the Gladys Knight concert in Houston. The Benson's were so wonderful to send it to us. Ally has been excited for weeks that the choir was coming to Houston and she was really hoping to see some familiar faces from Las Vegas too. Gladys and her choir go all over the country putting on musical firesides to share their testimonies through song about the LDS church.
Ally and her companion were able to take some people to the concert that they have been teaching and a young man who was recently baptized. I'm anxious to get her weekly email this morning to hear how everything went! She got to see the Bensons and Gary Krausman too...she even sent home some hugs for us. I got a call this morning from Candy who said that after the concerts in Houston and Austin the missionaries received over 2,000 referrals (people who are interested in having the missionaries come and teach them more about the church). How amazing is that?! Ally is going to be a busy missionary for the next 5 weeks!!!! Yep, only 5 weeks...till we get to see her. 18 months is a long time to be away from our precious daughter, but I am so grateful that she has served such an honorable mission and shared her love of the gospel with so many. I know she will keep on being a wonderful example and missionary the rest of her life.
