Dear Family,
HOME - This week of events has been filled with getting our house in order. Dad is claiming victory in the battle of attrition to rid our home of the uninvited mice that took up residence in our basement. We have contracted to get a new “lifetime” roof on the house, stained the deck, painted the mailbox and shopped for a new tile to replace the cracked and worn tile of the foyer and kitchen. We have learned that getting our “matter organized” is hard work and very expensive, but we look forward to having a good roof over our heads and a solid, pleasant to look at, floor under our feet.
CHURCH - We went with the missionary Elders to teach an investigator a lesson on the Gospel of Jesus Christ. She has been studying and praying with a great desire to know and is committed to be baptized. The lesson went well and we were able to share our testimony with her. She thanked us for coming and lifting her up. We both felt good about being with the missionaries again. As a part of the Family Home Evening Activity on Monday, we have been asked to share our mission experiences with the “Empty Nesters” of the ward. Also, we have been invited to speak in other ward's Sacrament Meetings on the 14th and 21st of June.
FAMILY – Monday we went to dinner at Rio Wraps, watched a movie and played game of Boccie at Partridge Creek with Vanessa and her kids (Jim was out of town on business). We enjoyed watching the baseball games of Joshua and Tyler and Samantha's last soccer game of the season and they seemed to enjoy having us there. Grand buddies are great! After Joshua's game we took Preston & Jacob home and ate some of Ryan & Maureen's leftovers and at Ryan's insistence, we played a game of “Settlers of Catan”. Friday after work, Ryan brought Preston with him and we fixed a squeaking brake on the Ranger, while Nonna and Preston played Dominoes. Today, we went to Ryan & Maureen's to celebrate Preston's 7th birthday.
Love y'all, Mom & Dad
