The Never Ending Christmas Story continues from last year's story which can be found here.
The Dec 2011 story starts off with the two daughters in the family. The two young girls made a vow to each other in mid-air one day....
...that when they are grown up, they will look for their true love no matter how far they have to travel
They learned to sing entertaining crowds to earn a living with their parents
They would sing and laugh together growing up
Even till they became grown ups and it was time to find their true love
Now the older had gone to China to find her handsome prince. Instead of a yellow Chinese she found a white American!
From a communist preacher, she became a beautiful bride in the summer of 2010, to marry in America
The younger sister who was then a gospel preacher in America prayed that she too could become a bride
While in America she found her handsome prince. Instead of a white American, she found a yellow Chinese!
The four got together in America and jumped with joy! The bride to be wished all of her family in Asia could be with her on her wedding day
This would be quite a feat as it will cost a lot of money to fly all of them to America....
... especially when Dad gave up communism in China to become an entrepreneur in America at the wrong time when the country was going bankrupt!
This would not deter the unstoppable Mom who decide to start early to wheel herself all the way to America with the help of google maps
This inspiration must have come from a Dr William Tan on wheel chair that she met...
... who has completed 10 marathons in 7 continents in 65 days and became the first person in the world to undertake a wheelchair push in Antartica.
The miracle of prayers by many occurred where she made it & didn't need the wheel chair anymore to give it away to a 96 year old friend!
The wedding of her youngest daughter went beautifully on a perfect day
The bride fulfilled her dream of having all of her immediate family there, especially Mom, with her in America on her wedding day.
The crowd got bigger with the addition of the groom's family and friends joining in
Due to the thin mountain air perhaps, the parents of the bride began dreaming that it was their wedding day in the Great Salt Lake Temple
Even the parents of the groom began dreaming of the same thing. It's amazing what the thin mountain air up in the Rockies can do to a couple!
For a moment Mom expressed her sadness as she would be losing two of her 'Jewels' from home.
How could she manage the home without the girls, especially with the remaining boys who are always kidding around the house?
This made the boys get together to make a promise to their Mom by flexing their muscles in all seriousness saying, "Don't Worry, We can Do it!"
