FLAT STANLEY

A few weeks ago Flat Stanley came to us in the mail.  Diego sent him to us for some adventures.  Unfortunately right after he came, we had lots of rain and flooding so we didn't get to do too many fun things until this weekend.  He did, however, get to go to the car wash with us last Saturday when it was sunny.  And he got to see the daffodils blooming on the way home from the office on Monday.

All the trees are budding and will bloom soon.  Don, of course, is looking forward to Saturday night and daylight saving's time.  Winter just really does him in!!  The more daylight we have at night, the better he does.

This week was transfers, arrivals, and returns:

These are the new Elders and Sisters.

The Priors

The Priors left on March 2 and will be missed.  The last we heard they were in Utah visiting with their son before heading for Washington.

The temple was really special this week with 13 returning missionaries and 5 senior couples.  It's always special but seems more so with these sweet young missionaries there with us.

Next week will be Zone Conferences again so really busy again.

AJ will report on his mission Sunday morning followed by a luncheon, followed by Jayden opening his mission call, followed by Joshua getting his Eagle Scout award.  Such a fun, busy weekend for Jon and Amy's cute family.   We are so proud of all of our grandchildren, no matter where they are on their journey.  Life is good, love is crucial, and family is key.  If there's one thing we've learned on this mission is the worth of ALL souls in the sight of God.  No matter where we are in our life, we are loved unconditionally by an awesome Heavenly Father who shows us, by His example, the way we are to love each other.  If I didn't get one other thing from my mission, this would be enough. 😊💗
