Week of October 6 - October 12, 2024

Many days spent in getting Nano's things squared away. Monday included a three hour meeting at the mortuary. Funeral director is wonderful. Lots of paperwork. Lots of phone calls. 

Spiritual
General Conference was wonderful, beginning to end. 

Dee was able to attend the temple this week on Thursday.  

My daily morning foundation of General Conference talk(s), prayer, scripture study and Come Follow Me study continues each day. I was so excited when the talks finally uploaded individually on the Church website. I spent Thursday and Friday reading all the talks. 

I have indexed 53,114 records and reviewed 19,366 records so far this year.

Family

The Wilkins Family
It was so good to hear from the Wilkins family via Marco Polo. They visited as they finished playing a game of Monopoly. Allison is busy at work and competing her masters degree. Classes still are being taken and papers are being written. Mike is doing well at work and decided to return to college to complete another Bachelors Degree in Warehousing and Logistics. Adam is doing well at work and visits his sweetheart when he gets off. Grace is doing well in school and finally completed all the preliminaries so now she works at a Day Care. Josh is liking seminary and doing well in school. And Sam had more money than anyone and likes school! 

The Ethan Rice Family
Ethan and Cameo are busy decorating their house for Halloween. Kaylee had her first band concert this week. The trumpet section sounded awesome!!! It was a real memory to hear "Hot Cross Buns"! 






Spoke with Kaylee, Ethan and Cameo via FaceTime on Saturday evening. Wade had a really good showing at his lacrosse game earlier that day and was at a teammates house spending the night. Kaylee was working on her Halloween costume and then gave me a tour of their skeleton collection inside their home. All are doing very well. 

The Doran Rice Family
Happy Anniversary Doran and Amber on Friday. They celebrated with a trip to Nashville.






Morgan
No news from Morgan and Cassie this week. 

Kayty
Kayty had a good week at work. 

The Nathan Rice Family
Spoke with Nathan and Jessica as she was making some sour dough bread. Nathan said her first loaves were a bit hard but the second loaf came out excellent! They had a fun Saturday. The drove two hours and listened to General Conference, then toured a farm tool exhibit where they saw a cotton gin and the worlds largest bale of cotton west of the Mississippi River. Then they drove the two hours home and listened to the next session of General Conference. All are doing well. 

The girls called via FaceTime on Friday and shared their new family members: two puppies. Their names are Whitney/  and Cookie. The girls take turns walking them and they are totally smitten. Eve struggled earlier in the week with croup but is much much better. 

Dad's Garden
Harvesting romaine already. Still struggling with small creatures eating our seedlings. We still are keeping our chickens alive in this never ending heat.
