Week of December 24 - December 30, 2023

Spiritual
Sunday was our Christmas Eve program at church. Primary sang two songs and the choir (I was in) sang three songs. Very nice program!!

Dad was able to attend the temple this week late 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 16,317 records and reviewed 23,736 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
The Wilkins had a great Christmas and we enjoyed watching them open stockings on Marco Polo. 

The Ethan Rice Family
Ethan and Cameo got a new Christmas Tree at a great discount and the kids enjoyed decorating it. 
On Christmas Eve, they went to church with some friends. Christmas Eve church is the best!!
We spoke with them via Facetime on Sunday night as they decorated a gingerbread train and a gingerbread house. They also Facetimed on Christmas Morning and we watched them open gifts and they watched us. 
Happy Birthday, Kaylee on Tuesday. She had a great day, a wonderful birthday party and a sleepover with a couple of friends. 






The Doran Rice Family
Doran, Amber and family spent last Saturday evening viewing the lights at the Mesa Arizona temple. 





Morgan
Morgan was sick this week and stayed in bed. 

Kayty
Kayty had a good work week and got off early on Friday. 

1 major low on Christmas morning. 

The Nathan Rice Family
We Facetimed with Nathan, Jessica, and their family on Sunday as they opened their stocking gifts. Also, we chatted with Nathan on Christmas Day as they were on their way to a park to play while dinner finished. Work is going well and he is doing great. I received the most darling Christmas Card and a gift from the family. That family artwork is framable. 

Dad's Garden
Garden is doing well. Lots of radishes, chard, romaine and collards are being harvested. We also got our first snow peas this week. 
 
Other highlights
Best Christmas Gift??? Talking to every single one of our precious six children on Christmas Day. There was nothing anywhere better than that!!!

I was walking out to my hut on Tuesday, and i saw a snakey face staring at my right by the door. After very loud and unheard screaming, I went and got dad. He removed the nasty thing...nearly five feet long and obviously full of at least two small rodents. I am surprised the screams were not heard by all of you! It returned again on Friday! 


I have discussed it with dad and if that thing returns yet again, he will be soon meeting Satan!

By Friday, I had all the Christmas decorations down and put away. Love everything up. Love everything put away.
