How can it be May already? The rest of our week went better. Nothing too
scary or exciting.
Saturday was busy. I had stake children of record baptisms. I really love
these! Bro. Alexander used to ,say when he was the high counselor in charge,
something to the effect that when you are making covenants and witnessing them,
the spirit is always strong. I loved listening to him bear his testimony about
it, he would always get a little choked up about it, too. It was nice for our
ward, we had Caleb Hopkins and Kia Kinney & then the Houskeeper twins.
Keagan had dance festival practice from 10-2! 2 hours for the paso and 2
for the swing speciality dance he's in. The dance festival is coming up soon and
will be fun! It is going to be at st. Martin's the 30th of may. It is 5 stakes,
the usual 4 - lacey, oly, elma, Centralia, and lakewood.
While he was at dance practice, we went and got elder Oliphant and his
companion and took them out to lunch at casa Mia to say goodbye. He is going
home in 10 days. . 9 now.
Sorry josh.. we were joking (your parents included) about some of your
pictures on Facebook with Issac. Issac is usually front and center and then the
missionaries. I told the williamsons that I would get a pic of me and Oliphant
like that.. that's the pic of him and I. (Really, I love seeing the pics of
Elder Josh williamson! )
As always, it was fun visiting with the missionaries and hearing his plans
for when he goes home.
After that we dropped them off and drove to the temple. It was terrible
traffic getting there! But as always, so nice to be in the temple. We were on
sealing teams. It was great to hear those promises and blessings for forever
families and be there with my awesome husband and think back on our special day.
:) We were married in the wa DC temple. It was a great day, but a little sad,
too. I didn't have any family or friends there for me. It was all Rays side. I
did have a tender mercy that day, though. ( Im sure more than one!) But, one of
my friends from college just happened to be there visiting and had just decided
that she wanted to drive by the temple to see it. She was only on the temple
grounds 5 mins or so, but "just happened" to be there when we walked out! We
were both surprised to see each other and that was the hug I needed! I wish I
knew where she was now! Maybe I'll have to do a little investigating. . Starting
with her last name...
Have a good week! I can't wait to hear all about your Skyping home! I'm so
excited for everyone! !!
Love you!
