Week of July 23 - July 29, 2023

Spiritual
We had a great Sacrament Meeting. Three of our youth shared their FSY experiences. A missionary returned from serving two years in Orem Utah. All four shared very personal experiences of growth and learning. So it wasn't just a speaker that changed them. It was what the learned about themselves as they personally studied the scriptures, as they sat in class, as they shared a missionary discussion. 

Dad was able to attend the temple 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 11,664 records and reviewed 18,356 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
The Wilkins Family had a busy week. Allison is back teaching, or rather, being lectured with other teachers by staff and principal. She had a Meet the Teacher night on Thursday. Sam is doing well and looking forward to another great school year. After suffering trying to cook in a very hot house, Mike got a microwave oven for the family to cook in. 

The Ethan Rice Family
I spoke quite a few times with Kaylee and Wade this week. Their schedule changed as they are preparing to return to school. Kaylee has been texting her cousins and friends. Days include swimming and video games. All are well. 

Some more pics from the cousins visit

And this week, Kaylee's old friend, Madeleine, came for a visit. 


The Doran Rice Family
Amber spent another week working in Vegas. Doran spent his last week working at his old job before starting a new one next week. The kids are well.

Morgan
Morgan and Cassie continue helping a friend clean up after a death. They took a very hot trip to the dump this week. In between cleaning, Morgan works a temp job here and there. They hope to sell most of their puppies by the end of this weekend. 

Kayty
Kayty had a good week at work. 

One major save this week. 

The Nathan Rice Family
The girls share a lot now that Annie has some personal texting time. The officially began home school this week. Annie is loving second grade and Ellie enjoys first grade. They shared with me all they have learned about butterflies. On Fun Family Friday, they tried to go to the local library, but it was closed. They did have a fun day. 


Dad's Garden
Picked some basil but the weather is making our citrus trees struggle. I did finally hear some cicadas this week so hopefully a cooling storm or two will come. 
 
Other highlights
Our air conditioner is struggling and we are looking at having to purchase a new system, an $11,000 cost. We can last a few months so it's not so hot when it has to be replaced.
