03/23/15 YW Basketball team plays regionals

3/23/2015

Katie playing ball
Yesterday got super busy and I didn't get your letter written as usual.  


I got called back into YW camp assistant director so we had a meeting yesterday morning.  Sister Rae is the director and Sister Harrison and I are assistants.  Should be fun.  Plus the presidency sounds like they will be up there quite a bit...Sister Clark and Hafen and they are both fun.  


Katie guarding her girl
Saturday Katie's church ball team was in the regional championship.  (a couple teams from several different stakes met up and had playoffs).  She was babysitting during the 9 a.m. game which her team won.  They had another game at 1 p.m. and won again.  They had to play again at 3 p.m.  At that point they were down to 4 girls (preference was that night and a dance competition so some of the girls had to leave).  They were able to round up Rachel Lusk and have 5. Our lil team did awesome.  They lost by only 5 or 6 points but they kept it close the whole game and I think they just ran out of gas.  The other team had at least 10 players so they were able to
keep them fresh and rested.   Pretty exciting.  After that Katie had a soccer game at 5 p.m.  Whew.  She was pretty tired Sunday!


Friday night we had a BBQ with the bishopric. It was fun and nice. We went to Fife's backyard.  Weather was perfect.  Lots of room for kids to play.  


Wednesday night there was a ward auction fund raiser for the youth.  They had stuff and services to auction and a dinner. It was $10/each to get in and they served pulled pork sandwiches and chips and salad.  It was well put together and fun.  I think they made a pretty good amount of money. The ward is starting from $0 since we are brand new and we need camping stuff and manuals and who knows what else.  


Seems like there was something every day this past week for church and this week coming up is shaping up to be similar. There is RS diner Thursday and broadcast Saturday.  I guess they are keeping us out of trouble by keeping us busy!


Tired team won 2nd place!
So, I'm a little worried about you.  Is everything ok? You sounded a little down in your short note to me.  Do you want to elaborate and see if we can work through some stuff together? Or is it just adjusting to the new area and you are ok? Grandma said a beautiful prayer on Sunday dinner blessing you and we are also mindful of you.

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 ...
