09/24/23 Good Morning!

Nikki, Shelly, Cami, Ashleigh Turner As you probably know, since Dad sent you a photo -- we just got back from Ashleigh's homecoming. She starts home MTC tomorrow I think and says she believes she will get to Santiago Chile on November 2. So they must be off a little from your transfer dates.  She says she knows pretty much no Spanish at this point...(I dunno if she was exaggerating ... but scary! right?!) It was fun to go to the 8th Ward. Erin Madison (Smith) was there -- she was the one who told me about this! and we saw Gary and Laurie Turner, The whole Turner gang, Condie's, Myra Baker, Danny Johnson (he's in the Stake Presidency -- from the 9th ward), Whitney's young and old (young is the bishop), Betenson's, Cardon's, Spriggs, Turek, Hagen, Talbot, Riley, Scotts...I think there's more ... but you get the point. It was really cool to be back in the ward.   There was actually another farewell same day...someone who recently moved into the ward in the Hol...

09/17/23 Linger Longer, Temple Open House

I l ooked up Iqueque and it looks beautiful!!! Did they save the best for last? I'm excited to see your place and hear about it. It looks like a very fun vacation city -- so maybe people won't be as interested in learning the gospel??? I dunno!  But I was impressed! It was a busy week but productive!   After church last week they had a linger-longer -- we've never done that in any ward I've been in that I recall...maybe when I was a kid (we would stay all day between conferences).  I have heard of it...AJ had it in the Virgin Islands. It was fun. Brother Blaser made tons of cookies and everyone just stayed after and visited for a little while.  Dad met a couple that has a pickleball court in their side yard.  But that yard was too small, so they have to cut off 4 feet...which seems like a lot! haha. We haven't gone up to play with then yet so I dunno! They live on Myrna's hill.  Monday we went to the temple pre-open house.  It was really beautiful...

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 ...

09/03/23 Exciting week...living my best life!

Sunday morning clouds in St George Buried the whole where the kids put garbage and kept moving the  pallets Working on the weeds  Haha...so AJ was tracking me yesterday and asked me where I was going...Dad and I were on our way to Parowan to High Voltage BBQ for lunch. Cade Boardman, dad's BBQ friend had a grand opening for his restaurant and we wanted to support him.  Plus it was the holiday weekend and we figured it would be fun to do something different. Aj said, WOW, you've had an exciting week to which I replied, Living my best life!   Then I turned to dad and was like...what's he talking about!?   Then I remembered, I had a pretty fun busy week!  Monday, as you know, I went with AJ to Navajo Lake, Duck Creek area and hiked cascade falls and floated around on Navajo lake. Then we went to a cute diner on the west side of cedar and had a burger and pie. Yummy. AJ got altitude sickness up the mountain, which put a damper on our activities as he ...
