Another week has gone by.
I just realized yesterday that in a week from today, we hit our 5 month
mark. It really goes quickly!
News
of the week….we learned that the Hatch’s got their mission call to Nauvoo,
Illinois, which is what they were hoping for.
They will be great there! They
both are great performers and singers. They start their 18 month mission in April.
Monday,
for Senior Family Home Evening, the President and his wife had too busy of a day to plan on
dinner that night, so we went out to eat at Buca di Beppo, an Italian
restaurant, instead. It was nice, but since we
were in a restaurant, we didn’t do the Family Home Evening activity that we had worked on......a Jeopardy type game. We
will do it another time.
Yesterday, we took a drive to 2 apartments. One, to drop off
an MSF card for an Elder (he had lost his other one), and
also in that vicinity, stopped at a sisters’ apartment because they had a smell
in their drain, so we dropped off something to hopefully help with that. We had planned on taking a drive to see some areas I hadn't seen yet, so we just added the two apartments to the drive. We drove over to Livermore, which I had never been to before. We also went to the movie Frozen yesterday afternoon. It was a cute movie! Some of the grand-kids have talked of watching
it, so it was nice to see what they were talking about. Ayla is always singing the song from it too.
Today in Church, we got our Vietnamese outfits for Tet on
Feb. 8th......Tet is the Vietnamese New Year. We hadn’t realized that Gary was getting an
outfit too. His is like a long dress,
but has slits, so he wears pants under it.
Mine is a top and pants. Both are
red. They came from Vietnam. One person had a family member that just made a trip there and picked them up while there. I will post pictures when we wear
them, and of the celebration.
We have another baptism in the branch next Saturday…..Sister
Ly. It is going to be at 5:30, and I am
bringing a main dish this time. We always have a party after a baptism in the branch. It is great seeing so many baptisms starting to happen in this little branch! But, I need to start eating less!!
Hope and Kelley have booked a trip out to visit us in
February. They will arrive Friday, Feb.
28th and leave Monday, March 3rd. So they will be able to experience our church
meetings and also some mission experiences, as we have the outgoing devotional
that Sunday evening.
We face timed with Shelley this afternoon. Emi kept waving at us when she saw us, and
jabbered away. She sure is growing up
fast!
Today, the temperature was around 60. This week, we have a forecast of temps around 70! Temperatures for the the week are to be near record highs for this time of year. I sure will enjoy it! I will have to make a point to step outside during the day to get some sun!
This week is the week the AP’s and President work on
transfers, which are next week. Next
Sunday is outgoing devotional. Doesn’t
it seem like it was just the other day??
6 weeks go fast! So, the pace
will pick up the next few weeks in the office work. Also, next Sunday is my lesson in Relief Society, so I will be working on it this week.
Oh, a sad note of the week: the plane that disappeared Dec. 1st in the central Idaho mountains, on a trip from Oregon to Montana, was finally found. No survivors. But, at least now the families will be able to have closure. The pilot was from San Jose, and in fact is from the ward that the Crawford's live in (the Crawford's are the couple we replaced). On board was his son and son's wife, and daughter, and daughter's fiance.
Well, that's it for this week!
