6 MONTHS DOWN


This Picture says it all! We got word today that he will be training a brand new elder and was made district leader! We are so proud of him!

Saying good bye to old buddies from Farr West........................

and HELLO to his new companion!

No pictures from Bennett but I was so excited to get to chat with him for 15 min. back and forth via e-mail. We were lucky today but next week we have it planned!!!!!!! He is doing well and has a new companion from Logan. Elder Ricks! A good ol' boy who likes what he likes and thinks like he does.

Bennett Update

He was pretty heart broken to find a flag in
this condition in the gutter. He and his companion will
retire it tonight.

What did he have for dinner? COW LUNG -
He has plans to stay away from that in the future

Making cookies
By the way he said he's gained 11 lbs.

Elder Austin

At Siesta Keys, the beach closest to them. Look at that
white sand! Makes me want to stick my toes in it!
He wrote a week or two ago and wanted a few recipes.
Here are his rice crispies. It looks like he did a good job!

Elder Robinson and Elder Talbot!
I think they are soaked too!
That Florida rain!


Elder Bennett

SOAKED!!!!!!!!
It rains everyday in Florida, maybe several times a day.
Sometimes they get out of it, but sometimes they don't!
Success!!

A new experience - Bennett and his companion Elder Jones got up at 5 am on their P-Day to ride the bus to work with one of their investigators so that they could teach her the discussion about the commandments. Dedication!!!



HAPPY BIRTHDAY QUINCY GIRL!


We can hardly believe that our little girl turned 6 last week.
She is a sweetheart and I'm sure she was sent to us to keep us young.
We celebrated her birthday with some of her friends.



What a cute bunch of girls but I must say they all had a lot of fun beating up the pinata (it looked like Dora) and taking her candy. They laughed and giggled while they whacked away. There is something about a pinata that brings out the crazy in all of us!

Crowns, cakes and smiles!

Ahhhhh to be young again!


I had to post this picture and some of the thoughts I've had this week as my little girl ended her first week of Kindergarten. She had a great week and loves school. Quincy has been such a sweet blessing in our home. As I have watched her this week I have noticed some of those little things that make children so much fun to have around. I'm reminded daily how fast time flies and how much I need to enjoy the moment!



One day Quincy came skipping into the kitchen humming and singing a little song. So Happy. She got what she needed and skipped and clapped her hands all the way back down the hall. No worries - Just Happy
She turns 6 this week! WOW

3 boys home for lunch. I still love to see them as they come in the door!
