Back in the "80's the Church had a Lamonite Program. It worked very much like a exchange program for the Navajo children from Arizona. We were blessed by having a young Navajo girl named Maebelle come to our home. The program was set up as a foster program, and she became our foster daughter. We treasured the time she spent with our family. She left the program early to return to her family and the reservation. Over the years we lost contact with her. But she never forgot us and spent a great deal of time searching for her California family. She found us several months ago. Kylie was going to be in Vegas for New Years. Maebelle lives approx. 6 and 1/2 hrs away from Vegas. So, it seemed like the perfect time and place for a reunion. Brenna and the girls came to spend the night so we could leave early and drive to Vegas. We were all so excited to see Maebelle.
Sleepy girls (Rilynn and Kardin) ready for the adventure.
Everyone meets on the strip and has lunch at some great mexican resturant
Ro, her girls and grand girls....So wish Ami and her girls were here too!

The whole group at lunch. We exchanged presents, hugs and stories.
Maebelle, her daughter Claudia, her nephew Jason, and the man in Mae's life. We are so glad to have been together once again!
