Week of July 30 - August 5, 2023

Spiritual

We had a good Sunday. Our meeting included talks from two youth and a high councilman. A new counselor in the stake presidency was also sustained. Primary went well. 

Dad attended an endowment session at the temple on Friday.  

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

I have indexed 11,937 records and reviewed 18482 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Wilkins are doing well. Allison's school year began officially on Wednesday and she is looking forward to a great year. Grace, on Monday, went to her old high school with a friend for a senior activity: crown decorating. She continues to work on hers. 

Grace shared:

"BEST LAST WEEK OF SUMMER EVER!

Girls camp last weekend was FULL of fun! We went to see “The Hunchback of Notre Dame” at Tuacahn, went swimming, went on some FUN hikes and just enjoyed each others company!

The day after we got back, I went to the LVHS senior crown decorating and had fun hanging out, but didn’t make the best crown

So I remade my crown and today, went to Vegas’s Senior Sunrise and they almost didn’t let me in because I’m not technically a student there, but they did!

Looking forward to Senior Year!!!

The Ethan Rice Family

Kaylee and Wade started a new year of school on August 1st. They were very excited!

It has been so fun getting a Marco Polo from Kaylee or both Kaylee and Wade as they share their start to their day, their new school clothes and shoes. They are just so excited for school. 

The Doran Rice Family

Doran began working at his new job this week. Always an adjustment period but he is looking forward to new opportunities. All the family is doing well. 

Morgan

Morgan and Cassie continue to help a friend clean up and clear out her house after losing her boyfriend one week, and now her brother has drowned in a pool accident. Lots of trauma here. 

Kayty

Kayty had a good work week and took Friday off to see a movie. 

The Nathan Rice Family

Annie, Ellie, Emma and Eve Facetimed after the girls were done with school. 

They continue to enjoy home schooling and had a great Saturday that included attending a baptism. 

Dad's Garden

Basil continues to survive. The oregano we planted a few months ago is also making it through the heat of summer. 

 

Other highlights

Got a chance to visit with Sharynn on the phone this week. So good to catch up. 

I saw Orion finally on Friday morning very early. Haven't seen that lovely constellation since February.
