Enrichment night


On Thursday night, we had our quarterly home, family, and personal enrichment night at the church and I made seven dozen cupcakes and little goody bags to go at each place setting for our dinner. Our enrichment leader, Wanda, chose a purse theme for the evening (for home, family and PURSE-onal enrichment), and it was a lot of fun to decorate and plan around. We had an excellent salad bar where about 30 women brought some of their favorite ingredients for the ultimate salad, and there were about 50 who attended. I hope it was a nice, uplifting evening for everyone. I think it went well. Now our committee gets to have a little break until the next one in June.

I too think that it went well, and who wouldn't want to get together with all the people that you only see once a week. I loved seeing and chatting with everyone and I think that the theme for the night was just perfect. I know that everyone loved the decorations and I thought that the cupcakes were so fun and yummy. Thanks for doing so much for the event.

Oooh, so pretty!
I was planning on coming, and then I came down with something Wednesday and Thursday. I thought it was the flu, I felt so horrible. It seems to have turned into a normal cold, though, thank goodness. I'm so upset, I keep missing the quarterly enrichment meetings!! Next one, for SURE! (Unless I'm in Houston getting my transplant).

Kelly, that sounds like a lot of fun! A what a TON of work! How do you find the time?! Those cupcakes look great - I am a cupcake lover!

Our RS birthday dinner is tonight. Julie and I are both providing the place settings for 2 tables plus bringing cakes. Julie is making a most divine from-scratch chocolate/Nutella cake and I am making a (scratch of course) scrumptious lemon cake....Yummmm!
Cute cupcakes--I have an affinity for pretty cupcakes! You guys always have the best enrichment nights.

Your creativity never ceases to amaze me! I know you're probably not looking for another career BUT you should totally be an event/party planner. I'm just saying....

Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party!

Hopefully this title, Book of Mormon Stories Pool Party , does not sound irreverent, because as an Activity Days leader, I felt compelled to come up with a fun end-of-the-summer event that is also uplifting, and after all, who doesn't love a splash in the pool on a hot day in August?  My current church calling, or official role that I volunteer for, allows me to plan two activities each month for girls ages 8 to 11, that will encourage them to learn and live the gospel, serve others, and use the talents Heavenly Father has given them, to learn to do many good things.  This year's seminary course of study for high school students is The Book of Mormon, and since I am a huge fan of this inspired book of scripture, I came up with this idea to have each girl show up to my house with a written summary of one of her favorite stories from within its many pages, and share it with the rest of the girls, while outside in our swimsuits near our backyard swimming pool!  As each girl shares

Our new daughter!

This picture was taken at church a few days ago while Kelly was on his way to the US for work this week. We have some wonderful news to share.  We are adopting 7-year-old Yeh Min Yu, who has been in our home off and on the last couple of months.  There's a lot that goes into making this official, dealing with US Homeland Security to arrange for her immigration visa, Taiwan courts and Chinese documents, getting a home study done by a licensed, qualified person, applying for a passport.  You have no idea.  I'll be glad when it's all done, but I couldn't wait to share this bit of joy with everyone.  We will name her Hannah to go on her new US birth certificate.  She's excited and nervous to go to America with us.  She can say more than 100 words in English so far.  Some of her favorite things to say are "small dog, butterfly, apple, pig."  She says it more like pig-uh.  We love her and feel this is one of the reasons we came to Taiwan.  Who would have thoug

Elder Larson to return from Thailand soon

Soon is relative, I suppose. Our son has been away from home more than a year and a half as he has been volunteering as a full-time missionary in the Thailand Bangkok Mission of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints since September 14, 2016. He will be home in four months and is working so hard, knowing his time there is winding down. He has been assigned to train Elder Ben Meyer, from Sydney, Australia, as they serve in Ubon, Thailand. Christopher has been there since November. We are very proud of his dedication and hard work. This week in Thailand, the new prophet, President Russell M. Nelson, with his wife, Wendy Nelson, along with one of the Twelve Apostles, Elder Jeffrey R. Holland, and his wife, Patricia Holland, will be on their world ministering tour and be where our son is. The Church members and missionaries in Thailand are very excited and happy for this special visit! I can't wait to hear how it goes, and I look forward to pictures and stories to come.
