Hahahahaha, President Williamson could share notes with Bishop Williamson, while Elder Williamson is soon to become Brother Williamson.

That's crazy. Congratulations to Bishop Williamson though.

The heck? Aurora looks freakishly tall in that photo. Did she double in size since I was there?

My letter

First of all, yah to our new bishop and bishopric. If you haven't heard, it's Bishop Jared Williamson,  with counselors Josh Martinson and Dave Hoeveler.  I'm so excited and happy for them! Our new bishop is no surprise to me. He is someone who I've always loved and admired. How do you feel about this Elder williamsons?

 

I can also hardly believe that that Elder Oliver and Elder Josh Williamson come home in a couple of weeks.  Crazy! I'm going to miss your letters! So I'm saying this to all of you, when you come home, you'd better still keep in touch!

 

We had fun at Wild waves this week. The weather was perfect!  Sunny, but not too hot. I loved sitting in the sun and visiting with the other moms. My good friend Jennie Klumker came, too. It was a fun day.  I took a picture of the water and sunshine. No worries no swim suits were involved! Ha! I didn't want to see that either. ;)

 

I did a lot of watching kids this week. Which when it's not all the time, I mostly like it. I like having a house full of kids. (I also like it when they all go home) And I got to have Aurora over! I hadn't seen her for almost 2 months! I think that may of been the longest time going without seeing my niece.

 

I also cut up 2 flats of strawberries and made jam. Yum! We love our homemade jam!

 

The best news is that we just decided this week to go visit Melissa over fourth of July weekend.  And to see Carie Warren get remarried.  Her wedding is in Utah July 2. We are leaving July 1 and coming home the 6th,  so it will be a quick trip, but worth it to see Melissa!

 

We went to visit my step dad last night and my dad today in Elma.

 

When I was 7, my parents got divorced.  And I didn't see my dad until I found him when I was 22 and married. (That's a really cool story for another time) when I was growing up, I had a different step dad who wasn't very nice. Father's day was always a really hard day for me. I remember crying a lot, but thinking of home teachers and my bishops and ultimately my Heavenly Father as my greatest example and who to look to. Today, I feel very blessed to have a worthy priesthood holder for my husband and two dads. My newish step dad is pretty awesome and my dad in my life again.  We are blessed to have a Heavenly Father who loves and loves us unconditionally!  I'm very grateful!

 

I love hearing from you all and love you and pray for you!
