06/19/22 Just a regular week

Another week has quickly passed. Hopefully it's been a good one for you!

We had a fun youth activity last week. They played pudding pictionary. Kind of cool, kind of disgusting!!! They gave them church words and they competed to draw the picture and get their team to guess it. Afterward they played a video.

Monday we had dinner with Gpa and Eldon and Diane. We got papa John's and brought it back to Gpa's house.

Tuesday dad got checked up again by the vein dr and given the all clear. He still has to get some kind of machine for his leg to help with the lymphodema. Bleh. I guess it's nice that a machine can do it. When my mom had that she had to have ladies come over and massage her arm 3X a week.

Relief Society was Tuesday evening and we made emergency kits to put in the car. Kinda like in a pickle pack on steroids. Got to hang out with some fun ladies and eat treats.

Dad and I got covid booster shot on Tuesday and by Wednesday I had a 101 fever and just felt kinda blah for about 2 days afterward. It was lake day for YW though so I took some tylenol and just kept going. I wasn't gonna miss that! haha.

We had a nice time at the lake -- they had about 7 kayaks and some tubes along with hot dogs and watermelon. Nothing amazing food wise but lots of fun.

Thursday evening we went to Rib and Chop with dad's friend Ike and his wife. They treated us because Dad got him some account that was going to give him lots of commissions.

I finished up with my health coach. I lost maybe 6 pounds in 6 months. So slow. But she taught me some good strategies and hopefully I can keep trying and lose a little bit more weight.

Holly was supposed to come down Saturday but she didn't feel well so she stayed home. Neal and Cheryl came for dinner tho along with Gpa and we had a really nice time. Neal was in a wheel chair and is starting to say some things that don't make sense but overall it was good to have them.

Today everyone was somewhere else. Gpa to Lauras. All the kids were at home. So we had Randy and Kay over and had a nice dinner just the four of us.

We thought we might get to hear from you today but it's getting late so we're thinking not.

Hope your day was great!

Tell me about your week! How's the food? How's the weather? Are you getting the language? How much money do they give you and how often? Are you finding it is enough? Were you ever able to get the tag off your coat? Can't wait to hear from you!

We love you lots!

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 ...
