Can you believe it's the end of September already? Today's Aunt Ruthie's birthday (I'll have to remember to call her when I'm done here!!!)
This morning started with a meeting with the Stake Presidency. Dad was asked to be the executive secretary in the bishopric today. And then after he said yes before church he was sustained during sacrament mtg (along with 2nd counselor) and set apart right after church today. FAST! WOW, huh?! They sure did things fast! The 2nd counselor was also asked this a.m. before church too.
Today was my 2nd time teaching Holly's class and there were only 2 kids. Holly and a different girl than was here last time I taught. I can't believe how wiggly the whole senior primary is. It is kinda crazy. We'll have to work on figuring out how to help them be more reverent!
This past week has been about the same as most weeks. We have stayed super busy at work. Dad's magazine came out and Bryce ran 2000 magazines around and placed them in gas stations, at school, rec center, stores.
Both the girls and the boys missed their church meetings this week since they aren't used to Tuesday night having things...!!! We'll have to work on that!
Went to Justin (I'm pretty sure that's the right one...???) Turner's wedding reception (married to Hettie, a girl he's been dating forever) last night. Got to see the Bowles. Little Josh is a senior in H.S. I think they said and he's giant tall but skinny. And they have 2 out on a mission. One is serving in Mexico City for about 1 year now and the 2nd is serving in Pittsburgh PA for about 45 days I think they said. The third was there and had gotten into some trouble and I don't think he'll be going. Not sure. Sorry I still can't keep track which one is which for sure. I think it's the oldest (Kyle) in M.C. and the 2nd oldest Koby got in trouble and Keith is in PA . They looked really good...same as always 'cept the kids are bigger. Sis. Bowles said she's been Primary President for a couple of years now and they really like it up in Manti.
We went to Grandma and pa's house yesterday (Bryce and me and the girls) and moved a whole bunch of rock onto paper yesterday. Basically restoring the yard to the way it was before the fire. Kinda sad. We did all that work and it just looks like it used to. Nothing new. It's like buying a new vacuum. Like Dang, I already had one of those, ya know?! Their yard is kind of overwhelming right now as they have so much yard work to do everywhere. They got insurance $ to replace stuff and get a new white picket fence and rebuild the gazebo and they have a company that is supposed to be doing all the work but they are working slowly and not really getting the job done so it makes them want to jump in and move the project along. The people doing it keep getting other jobs and putting mom and dad on the back burner. And taking short cuts like they are supposed to remove all the debris from the project and they loaded it all onto Dad's trailer (so much so that they bout flatted the tire) and they are calling that good. So now Dad has to haul it to the dump. Even though the bid included hauling off the debris. Well hopefully they will get a move on it and finish up.
Grandma and pa are leaving tomorrow on another 10 day trip so we'll go see them tonight and then not again for 2 weeks.
The missionaries came over for Monday night pizza this week and invited Dallas to come teach but he didn't feel like it. Bummer. I hope they don't give up and keep trying with him. I feel like he is walking a fine line and can't decide which side of the path he will land on. He does so many great things but I am so concerned about his relationship. I guess that's a mama's job. I hope you can come home and have a positive influence without driving him away. I'd feel more comfortable if we could get her coming to church and discussions again but her Aunt kinda squashed all that about 6 weeks ago and doesn't let her do anything. I guess, that's what they are telling me anyway.
Everybody everywhere I go is asking about you and when you'll be back. Pretty exciting to think about. We are still trying to decide how we will furnish your room and gotta get that done soon. I'm so glad to hear you are still immersed in the work and enjoying it there. Stay that way as long as you can and time will go more quickly.
Well take good care of yourself. Your package should arrive in 3 weeks I think -- hopefully in time for you to actually use your whitener before you come home! Make sure and keep your teeth trays because I am pretty sure you can use those again and just purchase the cleaner in the future. Plus they are little so it won't be any big deal to keep them.
Well better run. Getting stuff ready to take up the road. Love you lots! Mom.
