Due to stupid computer issues, I'm having trouble uploading photos and therefore, have not blogged recently. That and the fact that we moved back to the "western" side of the world last month is another excuse I'll use. I just want to say hi and that our shipment from Taiwan arrived in Texas a few days ago, including my PC, which was also messed up before the move, but now that we're in the States, my personal tech support can actually order parts for me and fix it. In the meantime, I just want to report that Kelly and I celebrated our 25 wedding anniversary in August and that Hannah has been able to join us in the United States and has completed three weeks of school here and is adjusting really well. Also, Christopher is so glad to be back in his old school, playing on the 8th grade football team and also playing trombone in band. Lindsey is loving life in Rexburg, Idaho, for her sophomore year of college, majoring in elementary education. We're all happy and healthy and are glad to be back home. I hope to be able to catch up soon, and in the meantime, want to check in so everyone will know I'm still here!
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
