March 25, 2024

 We just woke up from nap.  Before you say oh they are getting old(which we are) let me tell you that teaching seminary must be exhausting!! Part of the problem is when we have to get up early we don’t sleep well!  We taught today and our internet went out last night so we needed to go to class early. Which meant leaving just after7:30.  Neither of us slept well! Friday we taught as well and had to be there by 7:00am.  The classes actually went well for us we did a scripture learning activity on Friday.  Today was a short class but Gary introduced Holy Week and we watched the churches intro to that!  We had a little competition as a young women’s leader came to give her girls something and the cookie lady brought cookies!

A group of seniors came in the building to practice accordions between 1-3 periods.  Zone council was going on in the primary room. We. Have class in the relief society room of the Klatt building!  Anyway I did a zoom call with my friends between 1st & 3rd period. Kind of short and sweet, but always glad to visit!  We left and went across town between 3-6 for our zone council! When we got home at 3 after 6th period Gary said we need to start prep for institute tomorrow to teach! We just fell asleep!

Yesterday we had stake conference, then YSA  Maplewood group Church and then the missionaries to dinner!  We had good meetings and always enjoy getting with the saints! One of our seminary students spoke and lots sang in the choir!  In seminary today we sang Gethsemane for devotional and it was beautiful every time!

We continue to explore Anchorage as our exercise. We went for a walk on Sand Lake last week!

In the summer I don’t think there is a trail around it but they make a trail on the ice and it was a beautiful walk. Some really nice homes on waters edge!  
Our cleats on crisp snow are a little noisy.

Saturday we found a trail through pretty forest from Lake Otis road up to Elmore!

Wednesday evening Newmans were in town so we went for a burger with Kuerths and them!! That is always fun!! We need to laugh more so we do!


We continue to feed the young people last week I made Red Front rice krispy treats and a veggie tray!  I also mended our district leaders slacks! Glad to be of service! We also tied a quilt with the missionaries after institute!  They do lots of service too . Always more we can do.  I am so grateful to be serving here!  Grateful this week for service my kids do for each other!  Kidney stones may be our current plague!  We love you all and are so grateful this Easter week for our Savior and his gift to us! Let us all love each other more and make our world a better place!
