Week of April 18 - 24, 2021

Highlights:

Spiritual
We returned to regular Sacrament Meeting and it was announced that we are returning to two hours of church the first Sunday in May. Sunday included lots of Come Follow Me studies. 


We are still not permitted to attend the temple, but it will open for limited use recommends for baptisms next week. 

I completed reading all the General Conference talks this week. My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. 

I have indexed 5914 records and reviewed 44671 records so far this year. 

Family

The Wilkins Family
Mike and Allison are busy and well. They had a few car troubles with battery and then alternator troubles. They had a nearby place that fixed it in a day and now they are on the road going to work, soccer practice, school and everything. Their yard is looking great. Tree trimmers came and got the limbs cut that were harming their roof. The yard was filled with branches. The men did a great job and were so fast. Their credit card number was hacked and they found $500 purchases of cologne and watches from Nieman Marcus and Nike. They think things are taken care of. Adam does get an official high school graduation. With Covid, they are limited to four tickets each so they are not even sure Sam can come. Allison is going to take some pics of him in the downtown area and then make graduation announcements. He had a pretty good week. There is a joint school project so a few elementary school kids are writing a book for Adam, and Adam and a friend are writing a book for a student named Wyatt. Adam is also growing microgreens, basil, and mint. Grace is doing well. She is starting a business: cookie decorating kits. Great idea! She sewed a cute denim backpack this past week. She has been doing a lot of babysitting lately. Her school is undergoing extensive renovations and it's always a new adventure seeing what they have done. She enjoyed Stake Youth Committee Meeting and is looking forward to Youth Conference in a few weeks. Josh had a great soccer game on Saturday and they won by a lot! He is looking forward to getting a limited-use temple recommend so they can do baptisms for the dead. Josh also had a dental appointment. The family also got a stunt kite that they are having a great time flying. They are looking forward to attending Whispering Pines Covered Wagon Camp as a youth group this Summer. Sam is making a painting of Van Gough's Starry Night at school. He really loves reading! He had a crispy chicken sandwich on Wednesday and pizza on Thursday at school. 

The Ethan Rice Family
Happy Anniversary to Ethan and Cameo on Thursday. 


Ethan headed out to Pennsylvania early Monday and returned Thursday night. They had a good week that included tball games for Wadey. 

The Doran Rice Family
Amber and Doran were busy working. Kooper and I took Kelsie to see the doctor on Thursday afternoon.

Morgan
No news from Morgan this week. 

Kayty
Kayty worked a little overtime this week and put together a hall cupboard to store stuff right outside her room. She loved sleeping in on the weekend. 

The Nathan Rice Family
Nathan, Jessica and the girls had a good week. They enjoyed soccer practice and game, visits with grandparents and a trip to the Waterpark. They visited on Wednesday, brought Dad some chicks for his birthday and brought homemade cinnamon rolls for him to enjoy. 












Dad's Garden
Dad's garden is good. The winter garden is mostly done, and he will pick the last two cabbages soon to complete that. Now there are lots of dead and dying things to clean up. Tomatoes are good, though we are most certain that the seeds he purchased were NOT celebrity tomato seeds. 

Family History






Other highlights
Dad enjoyed a wonderful birthday on Wednesday with calls, cards and gifts that he enjoyed throughout the week. 

I completed my US History class this week. My piano practice continues daily. 

Lots of yard work and garden work. 

Happy 41st wedding anniversary to Dad and Mom on Saturday.
