Thursday was a little sad. It was Ray’s 50th birthday and our big surprise was to have Melissa and Hazel fly out to surprise him. I got a text about 7 a.m. saying that they were both sick, throwing up and couldn’t make it. Ray took it better than I did.. of course I had known for a few weeks and was really looking forward to it and he had just found out. Luckily her ticket had only cost $39 round trip and she got some of it back in a credit. So sometime in the next few weeks she’ll surprise us..
Melissa and Family got a membership to the children’s museum in Denver. They’ve already used it a couple of times.
Tuesday morning was so great to hear from our new Prophet, President Nelson. As I watched the news conference and later the press conference, the spirit touched my heart and (and my eyes) and confirmed to me that President Nelson is a true prophet of God. We had the unique and awesome experience today, too of having ward conference. That usually isn’t such a unique experience, but it was awesome to raise my hand to sustain President Nelson and the first presidency and apostles. It was one of my favorite things when I served in my stake calling.
I have loved reading about him and getting to know him.
This is one of my favorite pictures I have seen of him... from a year ago.
Oh and also.. we got a new bishopric member today. Nick Hopkins. Funny thing was when Ray and I walked in, we saw him and he was clean shaven (he usually has facial hair) and a suit coat which he never wears and we turned to each other and said we knew it was him from that. Haha. He will do great. The only sad thing is that he was the scout master- 2nd Counselor in ym and that will be hard to replace.
And I got my hair cut shorter.. I drove to Centralia to have Kenzie Redding cut it. I like it. And it was fun to hang out with her!
Love ya all!
