Just a quick note: Dad and I are in the Salt Lake airport waiting for our flight to Idaho Falls. We left Minneapolis this afternoon. We got to go to church with Sam, Nat, and the girls, this morning, then had a relaxing afternoon. The week went by so quickly! The girls were good, and adjusted to me pretty fast...but I can tell I'm 30 years older than when I used to do that sort of thing every day! It was so fun to get to know them each better, especially Alida, because I really hadn't had the chance to know her personality before. Apple Valley Ward had Ward conference today, and it was great. Lots of wonderful talks, and nice people to meet. An interesting thing, that you don't see very often. The first councelor in the Stake presidency, is the older brother of the Stake president. It made me think of Joseph and Hyrum Smith. We're all glad that Kevin is home now...and shouldn't have to deploy EVER AGAIN!...
