65 - Annaliese

Devin, Sarah, and Tim visit the Whites in Vernal while making a trip to also go to the temple and see one of Sarah's co-workers perform in the musical "Annie". Cousin Annaliese and her husband James and their two youngest daughters were wonderful hosts to the Andersen family during their stay. Annalise shares memories of her cousins, aunts and uncles, and of her grandparents. Annaliese was living with Grandma and Grandpa Andersen the year that Grandpa passed away, and she shared some precious memories of that time. Devin then shares a few stories and memories that he had gathered from Annalies's family. As the oldest daughter and the third oldest of fifteen children in the Redd family, she had a profound influence on the lives of her younger siblings. James then tells the story of how he and Annaliese met under the the terrible circumstances of the passing of his first wife just a few months before. Annaliese explained that she had to decide to follow the plan she knew God had laid out for her and that she knew she not only would become James' wife, but also a mother two his two young sons. Annaliese and James tell the story of her cancer diagnosis while being pregnant with their second youngest daughter, the miracles that came from that, and how she was led to then start a school called the White House Academy.
