Week of June 20 - 26, 2021

Highlights:

Spiritual

Sunday went well and my class went better than the last time. I learn what to ask and what not to ask. The primary kids sang for Father's Day in church. Dad ended up with a bag of Skittles and some Dad's Cream Soda. 

Temple remains open for limited use but we are not permitted to attend until late June and July. I was able to schedule appointments for the next few weeks. 

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. I completed the Book of Mormon and started reading it again. 

I have indexed 8610 records and reviewed 64911 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Las Vegas had a hot week too! 117 degrees on a couple of days. Temple opened for regular patrons and work for the dead. Attendance is scheduled for three months ahead. Mike had scheduled but then he had a job interview so he had to cancel. Sadly they had some car trouble on the freeway. Adam ended up pushing it off the freeway and 1/2 mile up the road to a gas station. They ended up calling a tow truck and the driver was red/yellow color blind! Crazy!!! Young Men and Young Women prepared freezer meals to end up giving out to ward members. They have been asked to sing in next week's Sacrament meeting. Adam worked four days during the week. As an adult, he has learned it is no longer just breaking rules; it's breaking laws. He was referring to his buddies. He spent his paychecks on a phone, some apps, some earbuds, and a new game controller. He has a work party coming up next Tuesday. Grace had a good week. She is so excited about camp in three weeks!! She spent the last week baking and cooking. She made Mike some cinnamon rolls for Father's Day breakfast. Grace has been asked to lead a devotional before breakfast.Josh had a good week. He was so excited that instead of soccer practice, he was getting to practice in his coaches' pool. Sam had a good week and is enjoying Harry Potter so much! He used some of his money to buy a huge soft piggy bank! 

The Ethan Rice Family

Kaylee sure enjoyed volleyball camp last week!

Ethan had to remain in Pennsylvania and couldn't take his flight home. So, on the spur of the moment, He and Cameo decided to meet halfway and Ethan drove 11 hours from Pa and Cameo and the kids drove 5 hours from Ga and met in North Carolina for a fun few days celebrating Father's Day.

The kids were so surprised to wake up Saturday morning and have Daddy there with them!!

The Doran Rice Family

Doran and Amber had a good week, but busy as usual. Doran still is trying to get that root canal finished. I took Kelsie to the orthodontist on Thursday to replace a broken bracket. Kooper is loving Karate and won a medal. 

They enjoyed quite a few trips to Hurricane Harbor water park 

Morgan

Morgan is doing well. 

Kayty

Had a good week and is preparing for returning to work part time...two days a week. She had to purchase her own keyboard and mouse to keep at home. She is doing well. 

The Nathan Rice Family

Nathan and Jessica are doing well. Jessica got the final okay from the doctor that everything is well after the car accident. Nathan continues to seek a replacement car. The week included trips to the Waterpark and play dates with friends. 

Dad's Garden

Done. 

Other highlights

Much cooler weather this week and even a few raindrops. 

I got embroidering the next Grammy Stocking and set a goal to work on it an hour a day. 

Father's Day was great and dad enjoyed talking to all the kids!
