Week of September 1 - September 7, 2024

Spiritual

Sunday was another good Sabbath. Good classes and testimonies at church. Quiet rest of the day. 

Dee was able to attend the temple this week on Thursday evening. 

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

I have indexed 48,053 records and reviewed 19,308 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Wilkins Family continues to do well. Work is going great for Mike and he is nearly completed repairing some electrical troubles in their vehicle so they will be back to two cars. Allison is enjoying teaching. Adam has nearly all the paperwork done for a new job. Grace is so enjoying institute classes. Joshua is getting used to high school and seems like it. Joshua is doing great and got a call back for his school musical audition...and he got the part!! He is Dwarf! Congratulations Sam!

The Ethan Rice Family

This family has been busy with work, school and the kids sports. They enjoyed camping over labor day with friends and have another trip planned during Fall Break. 

The Doran Rice Family

Happy Birthday, Kelsie on Monday! She had a wonderful celebration as Nathan, Jessica and the girls came, brought a delicious cake and celebrated with her. 

And they attended a local fair on Saturday...

Morgan

Morgan and Cassie are busy working and enjoying Flagstaff's lovely Fall weather. 

Kayty

Kayty had a good week at work. She took off Friday for our Woods Canyon Lake boat excursion. 

The Nathan Rice Family

Nathan and Jessica and the girls are doing well and are very busy. I spoke with Nathan as he was again working preparing deer hunting locations for the hunt next month. I never realized how much work was involved in preparing an area for a hunt. Work is good. Home schooling is good. Their weather is getting better and better. 

Dad's Garden

Seedlings are doing well. I hope we have retreived our final load of horse manure to enrich the garden plots. We are now getting up to five eggs per day from the chickens. 

 

Other highlights

Dad went over to Grandmas on Monday evening to visit with his cousin Clay Chester Jordan who is here seeing family. He had a good time. 

We tested our boat skills at Woods Canyon Lake for a few hours on Friday. 

It was our turn to clean the church building early Saturday morning. It was so organized and, while the work was hard, we were done in a little over an hour.
