Back to Evanston

If you were at the Evanston rodeo Monday, you may have seen Leah and cowboy Carson. They spent the day at the parade and rodeo, and visiting homes of people Carson served and loved. He wants to move and live there forever after college. He loves the people, and he also loves the beautiful outdoors. For 20 years, Evanston was a city we drove through to get to Utah, but we never stopped there. We had no idea it would become such an important and endearing place to Carson. I'm so grateful for the Evanston people who welcomed and loved him - both on his mission and on Monday.
