Hi everybody,   July is flying by...but that is kind of a good thing, it means we'll be seeing many of you very soon.  We've been enjoying having Naomi and Joseph here so very much!  They're helpful and easy to have around.  I think one of my favorite times with them each day is in the evening when we read scriptures before prayer and bedtime. Hearing their voices as they read, and seeing how familiar the scriptures are to them.  I'm so grateful for this because I know what a blessing this will be to them all their lives.    Last night Joseph and Grandpa made pancakes for our supper, and then we watched Second Hand Lions.

At the meeting I found out that the way we have always done things, isn't the way things HAVE to be done!  So between now and September things will be changing.  I ran the ideas past the Bishop today, and he agrees!    I was on call July 2, 3 and 4. It was pretty busy, nothing too difficult, but some issues that weren't able to be resolved on a holiday weekend.  ...
