 We have struggled to keep Gary going this week!  We went places like to the bridge to watch the YSAs run the river and would end up back home feeling gross!  We did spend the day at the institute but he felt pretty desperate by the time we got home!  Wednesday I worked in the temple in the morning and did a session that night and left Dad in bed or close to! By Thursday morning we decided we better go to insta care! Good decision cause he had bronchitis and they did a breathing treatment and it was pretty fast that he felt better !  

He missed zone conference on Wednesday which I went to after the temple and helped with lunch like usual!!


He was pretty bummed but glad we are looking back at it now!! We did get treats to institute and Patti taught so getting sort of back to business!  I have also just about finished the wedding dress I am altering for a young nonmember friend!  Should have it to her Tues. I have enjoyed sewing but a wedding dress is a little stressful!

We went for a ride yesterday up to Hatchers Pass.

Another really beautiful place.  We had been up there 5 months ago in the snow on side by sides. That was beautiful but all the green and rivers etc are pretty gorgeous!  We saw 4 wedding parties so a popular spot for celebrating!!!

We invited our two sets of missionaries to dinner tonight! They serve YSA so don’t get fed hardly so I e wanted to. One is going home and others could be transferred! We spend a lot of time with them so sad to have change!  We ended up doing a linger longer also with left over hamburgers and stuff from A camp out left overs. So just had to set up and clean up!  Al least Gary was there today!

So just got day cleaned up and it is 10:10pm. Still light as day outside .  Still so weird!  We did wake up to rain today for the first this month!  Due to no sprinkling g systems the grass is pretty dead around us! Plenty of water just no system!  Temple and churches have them though!

We are grateful to be here! We both love Alaska! Getting to know the new missionaries( our seniors and they are great!). We do miss our buddies the Kuerths!  We are grateful for friends and family who have made our lives so rich !  We love you all!! We pray for all also!  Cannot believe it is July tomorrow!!  We love serving our Heavenly Father and his Son!
