Week of March 5 - 11, 2023

Spiritual

We had a wonderful Fast and Testimony Meeting. Testimonies of missionary growth and service were abundantly shared. Primary went okay. With these little ones, it's week to week. 

Dad was able to attend the temple this week. There were no appointments available for me to attend. 

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

I have indexed 4370 records and reviewed 4757 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Grace headed to her long-awaited and hard-earned Choir Trip to Hawaii on Wednesday morning. 

The Ethan Rice Family

The kids are sure enjoying their sports. Wade had his first LaCrosse game this week. 

Kaylee continues to love playing softball! Ethan worked in Georgia this week, nearer to their old home, so he spent a night away. Wade had a great split squad game on Saturday and Kaylee spent some time at the batting cage. 

The Doran Rice Family

No news from Doran and Amber this week. 

Morgan

No news from Morgan this week. 

Kayty

Kayty had a good week. She attended a Spring Training baseball game on Friday. Had a great time and got autographs. 

The Nathan Rice Family

I spoke with the girls via FaceTime on Saturday. I didn't get to talk to Emma but I did chat with Annie, Ellie and even Eve. They had been to a wonderful estate sale the day earlier and had gotten some very nice treasures in great condition! Annie made the decision to cut her own hair last week, and with Aunt CeCee's help, Jessica was able to adjust the cut with some nice scissors. Annie has new glasses and they really help her when she is reading. For Home School co-op they were able to see chickens and baby chicks. 

Dad's Garden

We picked a TON of carrots since the weather is getting warmer and the garden is realizing its gonna be hot soon. Dad also enjoyed collard green meals. Tomato and basil are enjoying the weather change. 

 

Other highlights

Dad traveled to Cincinnati, Ohio to a supplier. Monday was all flying, with a trip to Seattle, a lunch layover and then a flight to Ohio. He had a good Tuesday with his team as they worked to help the supplier. Then up very early on Wednesday, a flight to Minneapolis and then home. It was good he was with two team members because they all went out to eat and he didn't need to decide. 

From the Cincinnati Airport

We started hauling tree stuff out to the bulk trash pile. Dad trimmed the date palm and the carob tree and I hauled and hauled branches. He is taking three days off work next week so we can work on the big mesquite tree and the rest of the yard.
