Week of January 14, 2024 - January 20, 2024

Spiritual

Sunday was good. We enjoyed hearing from a few youth in the ward as well as listening to Joy Black share as she prepares to leave and serve a full time mission in Salt Lake City. Primary was a bit less crazy and we are figuring things out. 

Dee was able to attend the temple this week on 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 511 records and reviewed 235 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

The Wilkins Family is doing well. Mike continues to enjoy his job and is working very hard. Allison is continuing her school work nearing completion of her masters' degree. She spent Monday getting another fingerprint clearance. Adam is very busy at the theater and likes his work. Grace is super busy with school and church and friends. Joshua is well and enjoyed his first dance. Sam had a great birthday! He is really into watching a chef that specializes in cooking meat, so he got a cookbook by that chef. Mike took him to watch a butcher cut meat and then brought home some samples to cook. Sam did all his favorite things for his birthday and had a great day! 

The Ethan Rice Family

Lots of sickness with the kids this week. Strep hasn't stopped getting to them. Kaylee got better faster, but it dragged on for Wade. There was no school Monday (MLK day) and Tuesday (cold weather) so they had some time to recover. 

The Doran Rice Family

Doran and Amber and the kids also struggled with sickness. They shared a wonderful homemade chicken noodle soup that hit the spot. 

Morgan

Morgan is busy working and doing well. 

Kayty

Kayty had a good week at work. Always good when it is only four days long. She got her tiger nails done, preparing for her birthday trip to the zoo. 

One minor low

The Nathan Rice Family

Happy Birthday, Nathan on Sunday! He had a great day and a wonderful homemade birthday cake.

They had a good but very cold week! Snow! 

And a great tent was built to keep the girls happy!

 

Dad's Garden

Weather finally blessed us and dad was able to work the garden and get his tomatoes planted. We are still harvesting radishes and cabbage. 

 

Other highlights

I powered through on Monday and Tuesday and got the village taken down. I was exhausted! Saturday, we took the backdrop down and got everything put away till late October. 

I visited Nano and paid her monthly bill. She is doing well and has adjusted to her new home and seems to really like it.
