Somehow the summer flew by and we are now getting into fall and the children are getting back to school. Liza and Brendon, along with Keaton and Sayde got Breya over to Edmonton and settled in her duplex house with roommates. She will be taking engineering on scholarship. It was hard for them to let her go. Her Bishop is Blair Bennett’s son. Sam will be staying here and taking business at Kwantlin University. He is now attending the YSA. Tammie drove out to St. George with Jadyn and got her settled in an apartment with two roommates. She will be finishing her online BYU Idaho program this fall with a practicum. She is living close to Justin and family. Max is back to work at his office but will also soon finish his graduate program in accounting. Ross is carrying on with his bachelor’s degree preparing for accounting. Jack is in St.George this week for his friend’s wedding and his classes start in Lethbridge next week. He is thinking of dentistry. Zach is not playing hockey this year but working for the same team in upstate New York and finishing his MBA. Treyvn and Keaton are in High School, Sayde and Wyatt in Middle school and our dear little Colton in Elementary school. Justin is our only one completely finished and is a Physiotherapist - Dr. Walker. They all work hard and I am so proud of them and I love them and I pray for them.
I finished teaching my YSA Temple Prep group and three of the boys are going thru the Temple this Friday. The Bishop has a ward group he wants me to teach this fall. I have, however, been called just last week, to be the ministering secretary for the Relief Society and I meet with the presidency for the first time this evening. I would love to continue with Temple Prep but that is up to the Bishop.
The Temple has a new shortened Endowment Presentation and that will be of help to many as well as allowing for more work to be accomplished. The schedules of all Temples will need to be adjusted. We have a two week closure starting next week and that should facilitate time to make some changes. Brian and Brenda Leavitt have just started their term as Temple President and Matron serving with the Goeders and the Userys. The Rempels did a great job under some difficult circumstances. Lots of changes at the Temple but I carry on as an Ordinance Worker and Coordinator for Female Love Ordinances.
I work on my yard and my home and keep myself busy on many levels. I had the car serviced this morning and try to stay up on the maintenance of things - so many things Tom used to do. I am doing my best. I am grateful for family and friends and grateful for Tom as we just celebrated our 24th wedding Anniversary on August 26th, the date he had picked out and booked before he even proposed. Oh, how I love him and oh, how grateful I am for The Plan.
