A Missionary Grandson and Easter

-

 Week of April 14 - 20

Monday we had a short staff meeting.  President and Sister McKay were headed off to a week long Mission President Conference in Kansas.  That afternoon the Bryan's invited us over for dinner.  they have made friends with a non member couple and they were coming for dinner too.  It was a fun evening.  

Tuesday, Dan had a Physical Therapy appointment in the morning and then we spent the day in the office.  We had a 6:00 temple Endowment appointment that evening and then got home just in time to log into a Zoom Chat with the Nielsen's.  Jonnie got his mission call!  It was so fun to be part of his opening his letter.  They had a whole house full of friends over.  He is going to Chile!!  That's where his mom went!  How fun is that.  He  starts on September 1, so we will be able to see him before he leaves.  I am so happy about that.

On Wednesday the Bryan's offered to help us in doing what ever we needed help with.  So we took them up on it and went over to the Storage Unit and they helped us get it a little more organized.  It was such a big help.  After we had lunch together at a Mexican Restaurant.  It made cleaning the storage unit so much easier and fun.


Elder Bryan is such a character
  



Thursday, I spent the day in the office and Dan went out and delivered a few things to missionaries.  It's kind of nice when we can do that, we get so much more done in a day but I really like going out to see the missionaries.

Friday we were in the office again in the morning and then in the afternoon we ran errands.  

Saturday we went over to Fairview Heights and went to Larry Miller's baptism.  It was wonderful.  We got to be in one of the discussions with him and he is golden.  

Easter Sunday.  We only had Sacrament Meeting this day.  Dan was asked to Confirm Larry.  He felt so privileged to be able to do that. After church we went over and visited with Andrew and then Robert.  I brought them each a little Easter basket with some treats in them.  That evening we had dinner with our Senior Missionary Couples at the Bryan's.  It was a great day!



Easter Baskets I made for each of the couples for Easter.

Our sweet Sisters

 The week of June 16 - June 22 Transfer week.  We picked up these sweet sisters at the Hotel to take them to the airport to go home.  We were taking 4 of the sisters early and then come back for 3 others later.  They were having breakfast when we got there we let them finish and then I said, "Okay, it's time to go."  They hugged each other over and over again.  Then they did one big group hug and when I walked over to them, they were praying together right there in the hotel breakfast room.  It was the sweetest thing.  A few tears and we were off to the airport. The Dodges came, a senior couple working at the Family History Library and Sister Cannon came, a single senior sister working in the office.   Friday we went back to Hillsboro to finish us the  apartment.  I was not looking forward to cleaning it.  It has felt so dirty and gross when we were there last week, I didn't want to do it.  Right before we left I rem...

The Mission Call

We got notification of our mission call as I was getting on a plane to Utah to visit two of my High School girl friends.  I was so excited!! But ... I really wanted to be with Dan when we opened our letter, so we decided to wait till I got home in 3 days to open it.  It was all planned and the kids were ready to Zoom and watch us open it when my flight got delayed for three hours.  That put me home around 11:00pm.  So we went with play B and set it up for the next morning.  All the kids were on line as we opened our up mission call. WE ARE HEADED TO  THE MISSOURI, ST. LOUIS MISSION!! Stay tuned for great adventures to come!

Week of May 19 - 25 Zone Conference Week. I was called on to share my Hymn testimony at Zone Conference.  A Hymn testimony is a your testimony using only lines from the Hymn's.  It was actually harder to do than I thought it would be.  But here's mine. There is Sunshine in my Soul today for I am a Child of God I know my father lives and loves me too. My heart shall triumph in my Lord I know that my redeemer Lives I stand all amazed at the Love Jesus offers me Once all things He meekly bore I tremble to know that for me He was crucified He has risen Christ has won the victor I'll worship Him with all my might For Jesus is my Light Precious Savior, Dear Redeemer I need thee every hour Constant He is and kind for one brief moment heavens vies  Appears before my gaze My Savior to my aid will come Until at the glorious throng I kneel at His feet Praying daily in our homes God hears my secret prayers We'll feel His Love divine Leading to our home in heaven Where we want to...
