May 28, 2024

 I have taught Jadyn three Temple Prep lessons in two FaceTimes and she is doing really well. She is planning on moving to the St. George area the end of the summer to live with a roommate and she will be completing her university about Christmas the. I am proud of her. Breya had her high school graduation and she looked beautiful. She has a scholarship to UofA in the fall. Sam’s graduation will be next month and he will be attending Quantlan University in the fall. Jack came as my plus one to dinner at Chris an Minna’s. (They wanted ideas for decorating a room for Chris to give Patriarchal Blessings in with his new calling.) Jack will leave for Calgary in July to work as an FSY counsellor for the summer and then on to Lethbridge for his first year university at Uof L. Justin and JayLynn are moving bravely on, Zach is in hockey playoffs and working on his MBA, Trey is working on football and going into grade 11. Max and Ross are enjoying being new fathers. Wyatt and Colton are enjoying skiing, hockey and baseball. Keaton is growing and doing his sports and Sayde is loving her writing and being in musical productions. Bryson is doing well on his mission in the Netherlands and is in his second transfer. What beautiful outstanding grandchildren and then I have three precious little greats - Treyson, Aksel and Hansen. How blessed am I. I love the granddaughter in laws JayLynn, Monica, Jacqui and Sarah too.

I met with all the women in the family via zoom to discuss the possibility of helping instigate a Worldwide  Women’s prayer day for our - families, lands, leaders and liberties. There may be groups doing similar things already and I want to know so we can join or help. Mom used to tell me about days of prayer that the countries would have during the war. I just feel like we need to help the world in some way and maybe uniting in prayer might be all we can do. I am a great believer in the power of prayer and I feel that united prayer can be extra powerful. I was nervous to present the idea because I realized  that they all might think I was crazy and who am I to suggest such a thing but I felt if I left the idea and the feeling I had, that I would regret it and feel guilty, The girls did have concerns and questions but we will continue to look into this further. 

Mary asked me to help with her RSociety lesson on Sunday regarding Temples and covenants. I love talking about those things and prayed that what I said would be appropriate. Camille and her family stayed with me Friday evening as they were down for Presley to get more treatment for her cancer. Daylon actually attended the Temple to do work for a deceased friend on Saturday too. Liza, Breya and Sayde were at UBC this past weekend for a wheelchair tennis event and they stopped by for awhile on Sunday while enroute home. 

I went to a session at the Temple this morning and I just going to go back to help Dolly McMullin with her first living endowment patron.

Rain has been falling which is good for forest fires but not for getting my new turf laid in my backyard.

Camille’s children.
