Spiritual
We had another good Sunday meeting as another sister spoke before leaving on her mission to Brazil. I had prepared my primary lesson but only one child came so we had to go with another class.
We were able to get appointments to attend the temple this week. I did have to cancel mine since I was up all night sick with an intestinal bug. Dad attended 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 30,892 records and reviewed 63,216 records so far this year.
Family
The Wilkins Family
The Wilkins Family enjoyed another special week, celebrating Josh's Choice: Outdoor Week. They enjoyed a really fun family camping trip on Mount Charleston and had fun hiking. Adam taught Sam how to whittle and he enjoyed that new skill. They had many other fun activities throughout the week. Allison continues in school and preparing for training coming up to prepare for her Second Grade class.
Mike is doing great at work and the kids are all well.
The Ethan Rice Family
Ethan, Cameo and the kids had a good week. They had a surprise camping trip scheduled for the weekend so they prepared for that. High Falls State Park with their old friends, the Adairs, was the plan.
Hoping they are having a great time.

The Doran Rice Family
Doran, Amber and Kooper had a good week. Very busy with work. Kelsie remains living in a group home and appears very happy. They visited on Saturday to swim a bit and to pick up their travel trailer so they can go camping in Flagstaff this week.
Morgan
No news from Morgan.
Kayty
Kayty had a good work week. She was back to working typical days and hours and no training on auto policies. She enjoyed viewing Jurassic World again.
The Nathan Rice Family
Nathan and Jessica got back to a regular schedule this week. They are choosing to homeschool the older girls this school year and are preparing for that. Jessica's parents gave them their gently used washer and dryer so now they are back to doing laundry. They had a great Saturday, attending a primary swimming party in the morning and playing here with cousins on Saturday afternoon.
Dad's Garden
No gardening this week. Too hot. Chickens are still alive and that is an accomplishment in this heat.

Christmas In July
I continue to paint ornaments and am nearing completion. I listen to Christmas music daily as I clean. I was able to watch the movies Elf and The Santa Clause.
Other highlights
Had a 24-hour stomach/intestinal bug on Tuesday. Not a highlight.
Hot weather rules right now. The most difficult is then 97 degrees running in the morning. What a blessing to have 87-degree air on Thursday. A storm had gone through overnight though our house got no rain.
