03/04/12 Stake Conference

3/4/12

Just finished Stake Conference.  Pres Ellsworth did a great job as always.  Nick Bassett got called out of the audience.  Poor guy.  He did great though.  The theme was feast upon the words of the scriptures and follow the commandments and everything will be ok.  Sister Jordan (Dave's daughter Anna) recently returned from New Mexico and gave a great talk.  She is pretty and a good speaker.
Busy week again.  Last night I took the girls to Dixie College to watch the Fiddler on the Roof for girlscouts.  That is one dang long show.  3 hours.  Geesh.  Guess we got our $5 worth and then some.   The actors and actresses did a good job but I wouldn't have minded the sweetend condeneced version!
They boys have been spending lots of time with the band getting ready for different performances.  In about 2 weeks they head to Disneyland with the band.  Should be pretty fun.
For YW this week we announced that we were doing Personal Progress stuff so ALL my non members bailed and didn't show up.  Love it.  We are going to start doing that 1X per month from now on.  Wonder if they'll start coming anyway or just keep ditching?!  I don't really care...my members need this program and they haven't been doing it on their own so I'm hoping the monthly motivation will help them.  We'll see.
The weather is up and down lately with cold days (snow up north) and then warm sunny 60 degree days.  I love those!  I think that is one of the things I love about this area.  You don't have the long dreary winter like some areas.

I hope you are doing great.  I can't think of anything else exciting to tell you.  Take care and keep up the good work!  Love Mom

09/10/23 Hey, do you get to read letters on non-p day, p day?

First time trying a lime Pineapple was more pleasing than lime  Well...we went to Provo on Saturday and Sunday -- so your letter is a little later on Sunday than usual...but then I got to thinking...will you even get to see this before Thursday anyway?! So hopefully you're not sad that I'm late and all is well in CHILE.  It's a rainy sabbath here...which is weird cause we rarely get rain. But it is drizzly and rainy and our ride home was beautiful for 2 hours, raining for 1 1/2 hours, and then pretty good the rest of the way.  Let's see...what happened this week...Monday was Labor Day...so we had a day off work. Yeah!!!  We didn't have anywhere we needed to go and planned to have a quiet Monday but first, we went to this store called Sheridan's that is super close to our house. And we found some wonderful outdoor patio furniture. It took us 3 trips to get it all home and all afternoon to unpack and assemble it. So at 5:30, we were just finishing and kinda tired ...

11/09/24 The temple

St George Temple This morning I woke up early and continued to read "Your Endowment", a book Grandma Griffin gave me several years ago but that I never read cover to cover. It is of course, about the temple and the meaning behind the endowment and the other things we learn about in the temple. I'll be honest, a lot of it feels "over my head".  I am seeking to learn and know and understand more but I don't have a thorough understanding at this time.  Kathy and Steve Spring Yesterday I went to visit Kathy Spring. She worked at Washington City for many years and retired almost 3 years ago. We were good friends and she helped me in the court for quite awhile. Her husband died in January of 2020...looking back she is convinced it was covid but it was just before covid really became a thing. So it's not official. In about a years time she lost her Dad, her husband, her son and a grandson. Life was pretty rough when we were friends back then and I could see the...

10/15/23 Last Letter!

  Hey! Can you believe it?!  It's your last letter from home!!! This time next week you'll be one tired Hermana sitting in my kitchen with me!!!  What a week!  Monday was Columbus Day - so everybody had to work ('cept me!!!!) haha I stayed home and worked on projects. I took your car to the tire shop and had the tires inflated and then to Walmart and got an oil change then to the car wash and got the shebang inside and out and then brought it home and scrubbed it for a couple more hours. Wow, it was dirty and still isn't great! haha.  I also cleaned the pool and worked on the yard a bit and I don't even remember what else. I just remember I was super tired by day's end!  On Tuesday Emmalee came over and did Holly's hair and makeup. She looked really pretty. Afterward, we went to the Covington Home to take pictures. And the funny thing...it was decked out in Halloween decorations. NOOOOO!!!! So we found some areas and took some pictures and I think we got a ...
