Week of July 3 - July 9, 2022

Spiritual
Sunday was another great Fast and Testimony meeting though our ward was very empty. Many people head to Utah this time of year. Primary went well. 

Dad attended a session at the temple on Wednesday evening. We had been told no more appointments were necessary but when he arrived, only a few minutes before the session, he was sent to the office to be questioned. He hurried into the session and there were 12 people in it, including him. Capacity is 80. Not sure why the inquisition but we will make appointments from now on. 

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. 

I have indexed 30,311 records and reviewed 62,171 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
Josh and Mike had a wonderful Young Men's trip last week. They drove to Idaho and performed baptismal ordinances in the Twin Falls Temple and then the next day, they drove to the Salmon River for some exciting white water rafting. 
The family at home had a good week and Sam enjoyed a trip to Build a Bear.

Mike put on an excellent family fireworks show on July 4th. 






This week the family toured the Neon Museum.








The Ethan Rice Family
This family has enjoyed camping in a new part of Georgia. They got a surprising last minute spot in a very popular campground and ended up getting to tube down the Chatahoochie River. 






They returned home on Tuesday and had dental appointments after Cameo was done with her work day while Ethan worked in Smyrna. And Wade had a great surprise: lost his first tooth!!




The Doran Rice Family
Doran, Amber and Kooper had a lovely weekend away. They stayed in Flagstaff at a hotel and enjoyed the cool weather. Work has been good for both of them. Kelsie remains in a group home where she seems to want to be. 

Morgan
No news from Morgan

Kayty
Kayty had a good week, though she is not thrilled with the auto training.

Two major saves this week. 

The Nathan Rice Family
Nathan and Jessica and the girls had a great July 4th. They made a lovely blueberry pie and delivered it to me. along with some wonderful pictures and t shirts. 














Happy Birthday Jessica on Saturday! 
The girls came here to play while they went out to breakfast to celebrate.

Dad's Garden
Dad picked the final few oranges. He is tearing out the old garden bed and is readying to build a new block garden bed. He transplanted the oregano and we hope it survives. 

Christmas In July
Christmas In July activities this week included ornament painting, cleaning to Christmas music, and I watched "Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer". 
 
Other highlights
My birthday was simple as usual. I received birthday greetings from Allison and Grace via Marco Polo. Ethan send me gifts for my Grinch Christmas Village and we spoke via Facetime. Doran called me after they returned from their trip. Kayty got me a new mushroom slicer. And Nathan and the family visited. Dad got me some chocolate chips and took me to Hobby Lobby. There was no Pumpkin Wall of Happiness but there were a couple of Aisles of Happiness.

We later went to Cabelas...not my favorite place but we needed to use up Cabelas points.
