Week #21

Not much out of the ordinary went on this week. Monday evening was senior family home evening. Each time there is a potluck dinner and some kind of presentation. This week a Brother Rudd, whose sister is serving a mission here, was asked by her to present about a dig he is involved with in Israel. He and his wife flew out from Utah just to speak to us. He is very involved in the archeological dig of a cave that includes the name Lehi in it. From a small cave it has turned into to a massive undertaking covering something like 2 square miles. They have dug down and found layers of civilizations. The dig is down to about the time of Christ and they hope to get down to the era of Lehi soon. It was all pretty interesting.

Spring is springing
Life is tough
We enjoyed all the sessions of conference. Saturday evening was my favorite - maybe because it was just over an hour. 😁 But there were some really good talks that session. Mom and I made ourselves comfortable in our recliners in the living room. Much nicer than the hard chairs in the extra bedroom where the computer usually sits. We went for a walk between sessions today and it was in the 70's. Trees are in blossom so I think spring weather might be here to stay. Sorry Utah.

"The most correct of any book..."
I got a picture of our supply closet this week. We have copies of the Book of Mormon in so many languages - from Afrikaans to Zulu and many languages I've never heard of. How about Xhosa or Yeruba or Tsawa? We are flooding the earth with the Book of Mormon. Speaking of which, mom and I read Jacob 5 this evening. It's always nice to get past that. I can't say I understand it all but I get the gist of it. Many years ago, Mesha gave me a thick book just on Jacob 5 so what I know comes from what I got out of that book.

All about Moses
Zone conferences were this week. We went on Wednesday.  President and Sister Ames only have two more before they are released. They try not to act excited but they are. We have already planned a date for their farewell party as we knew we needed to set a date before their calendar got filled.

Mom finished a puzzle and I finished a diamond painting this week.

Mom sent you a link for an Easter week study plan. I don't know which one she sent but I'll send a link to the one I found. It would only take but a few minutes with your family each day. It's not too late to study the Palm Sunday one about Christ's entry into Jerusalem. Here it is:

Have a good week!


And the multitudes that went before, and that followed, cried, saying, Hosanna to the Son of David: Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord; Hosanna in the highest.

Matthew 21:9

Week #60

Alisa and kids. One thing they bought was a goat. I'm going to take a Christmas break and do mostly pictures today. Besides, mom has already told you most of the news.  We enjoyed our sacrament meeting today. Short and sweet. The last two weeks we have been asked to pick up a former branch member who now lives about 25 miles south of us and then we have to go another 15 miles north to get to the branch. He hopes to move back into the branch again soon. And he is such a polite man - all "yes sir" and "no ma'am." We thought he might be in his 70's but when finding out about his family he is in his mid 50's. We could be his parents! DevinKim and family  minus Jace. Chickens, diapers, food... We went to Colleen's cousin Norma's annual Christmas dinner last night and the senior missionaries are having a potluck Christmas dinner tomorrow afternoon. I think that will be it for Christmas dinners this year. Thank heavens.  Tuesday, Shawna and Slava an

This might even be shorter than mom's letter. We are both tired after a short night and a long day. I keep thinking each daylight savings change that it might be my last one. I've been hoping for such for many years. Just watch. The politicians will get their act together just after I die and fix things. But until then, I'll keep hoping. We taught Sister Silva the first temple prep lesson before church this morning. Her husband, who received his endowment a few months ago, sat in with us. Sister Silva sat in on his lessons so most of this will be a review for her. Both have had a hard life but are progressing well in the Church. Minus the Sisters Saturday evening we were to have all six missionaries from the Branch over for dinner. In the afternoon, Elder Healy called and said we had a problem. The Sisters from our Branch had called and said their car was stolen. They were asked if it could have been towed. "Oh,no. We were parked in our assigned parking place." Th

Just a few words and a couple of pictures. Elder Healy has been so busy with new vehicles that we haven't had much time to spend with him learning Lots of money on the lot. finances. We plan to hit it hard this week. He's gotten lots of new vehicles in but not many licenses plates so they are piling up on the lot. He has 34 of them down there at this time. Ten are ready to sale but he doesn't know when they will be picked up. The rest are new vehicles but no license plates and he won't send them out until he gets the plates. There is not much room for more cars, so he is going to tell the dealers they'll have to keep them until he gets room to store them. Hopefully, plates will start showing up soon. Sis. Dennison and Sisters This evening we had dinner at the Dennison's. They been here about three months. A couple of Sister missionaries ended up having dinner with us. It was a fun time as they wanted to hear about our other missions. Mom and I decided we have lo
