Elder Wanner's Mission: Part Two

After Brady was set apart we traveled as a family to St. George, Utah to meet Brady's birth mother and her family.  We spent the whole weekend with them and we are so thankful they are now part of our lives.  I won't use names for the children since I didn't get permission from parents.  One of the funnest parts of this visit was being in a room with lots of other people who have the same eye color as Brady.   It was neat to learn more about his birth and share more about his life.  I don't really have words for the feelings we all experienced.  I think this visit was especially tender for Jeanette and Rachel.  We are just so thankful for the sacrifices Rachel was willing to make so that Brady could be raised in our family and bring us so much joy.

 Our birth family loves music as much as the Wanners do!  We even sang a little together.
