Week of June 23 - June 29. 2024

Spiritual

We had an unusually good Sacrament meeting. Stake speakers were great! We had Teaching in the Saviors Way teacher training during primary while our kids sang. Sunday was quiet and nice. 

We were 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 35,799 records and reviewed 15,575 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family

Grace and Josh spent their week at FSY. Allison worked with her fellow lead teachers planning for the upcoming school year. 

The Ethan Rice Family

Ethan, Cameo and the kids are doing well. 

The Doran Rice Family

Doran and Amber are still waiting for news on Amber's new job. The kids are good. They dogsat for a friend that visited Japan and brought back treats and souvenirs...

Morgan

No news from Morgan and Cassie this week.

Kayty

Kayty had a good week at work. 

The Nathan Rice Family

Nathan called on Sunday sharing about a tragic shooting that happened in a nearby community. So sad that happens even in small towns. The family is doing well. He finally was able to get his huge property mowed and will do that every couple of weeks. He now has two working lawn mowers including a zero turn. They headed to the dump on Friday to get rid of lots of leafy branches he had trimmed. Summer is going well. 

Dad's Garden

I went out on a cloudy morning and pulled up the dead tomato plants and bagged them up. We are working hard to keep our chickens alive in this hot weather. 

 

Other highlights

Our air conditioner began glitching again last Saturday. (A/C compressor worked and cooled but when the compressor shut off, the fan ran and we could not turn it off. So we went from cold air blowing to warm air blowing. Dad had done a lot of research and calling companies since this had happened beginning in July last year. We ended up accidentally calling one company and they were great priced, great reviews on Yelp, licensed and reasonable. He came on Tuesday afternoon and spent the next six hours installing a new five ton Trane unit both outside on the ground and in the attic. 

Dad traveled for work to Cincinnati, Ohio Wednesday and Thursday. He met with a supplier on Thursday morning. 

A couple rainy mornings this week were a lovely pleasant surprise. 

Bulk trash pickup got all our tree trimmings. I went out and raked up all the remaining leaves etc and put them in the trash. 

So, since mid September 2023, we have had to purchase an entirely new roof (added six solar panels too), a new microwave oven, new tires for my vehicle, repaired the dryer, repaired the washing machine, and purchased an entirely new air conditioner. I am thankful Dad is still working full time.
