Softball this week

Softball was a success this week.  We had many of you come and we had enough girls as well.  The food again was good and our Stake President was our umpire for the game.

It was good to have Brian and Karina here.  After a few times at bat, the other Ward was wise to Karinas' abilities and backed up a bit.

Ben on his way to second. 

Xax must be batting since Andy is pitching.

Sunday, July 3

Fast meeting this week.  The Durochers blessed their baby and we had a very uplifting testimony meeting.  Julia Blackwell was released as the Relief Society Activity leader and Karina Henderson was sustained into that same calling.  Katie Shumway was sustained as a Visiting Teacher Supervisor.  This was Mark and Jess Andersons last week with us and we will really miss them but want to wish them the very best with their move and new job!

Softball, June 30

We barely had enough players to squeak out a game this week for softball.  It was fun as always, we were well fed and we now have pictures!  If I missed anyone, don't worry, I'll get you next time. We have another game Thursday night so we'll see, hopefully, more of you there.

Sunday, June 26

We had a very good Sacrament meeting today.  Especially due to the fact that Jesse was doing double duty speaking and teaching Sunday school as well.  Shallie was on the program to speak first, but she was also going the "extra mile" as our temp organist and she couldn't find her talk so Jesse graciously (with Shallies urging) agreed to speak first. 

Jesse spoke on gratitude and Shallie spoke on living Gospel patterned lives from a talk given by Elder Oaks.  Both were excellent!

We were short on speakers and so it was announced at the beginning of the meeting for everyone to be prepared to possibly speak and to be familiar with 2 Nephi 2: 13-16.  A very relieved "Thank you" goes to Shallie and Jesse for doing such a great job of managing the time.  The Bishop had a few minutes left to talk to us about our Temple Covenant and then the meeting was over.
