Fancy Nancy

Here we are in our "Fancy Nancy" attire.
The Branch Sisters really know how to dress up for Enrichment. We had a wonderful evening. We had a light dinner, and then Sister Charmaine Ralph spoke to us about being our best selves.

Mindy gave us a literary reading on "Fancy Nancy" and we dicussed ways it applies to us and our relationship with our Heavenly Father.

Mission Prep



Kristi has been taking the mission prep class at Institute. This is her second semester taking the class. She liked it so well she wanted to take it again. Her teacher is so creative she makes learning so much fun. Her teachers' name is Mindy Haws, she is actually my second cousin....long story. (Mindy also teaches the gospel doctrine class in our branch....I have learned so much from her class) In her spare time she teaches at the Burley Junior High. Chad and I take Kristi to institute and then we go out and visit those members of our branch that don't attend. We visit three young men quite often and the last few visits they actually turned off their video games and listened to us. I think we are breaking them down. We love it...it is kind of like a missionary experience.

No Church Due to Snow!

We got already for church when Eric got a phone call stating that church had been cancelled because of the snow....Being from Idaho we just didn't understand. If they lived in Idaho they would have to cancel church from the months of November til April.

Luckily we were able to go to the temple on Saturday before the HUGE snow storm came.

Trip Across the States

Here we are at Liberty Jail. Our love for the Prophet Joseph Smith increased here. Last time we helped Kiley and Eric move we just drove straight to MS and then to Maryland to help Cree ( we saw things on the way we would like to see so this time we took some time to see a few things)
Here we are at Eric's school.

Here we are on Beale Street (some famous blue singing street)

Here's Chad eating some famous BBQ ribs. mmm fingerlickin' good!
