Missed August 11 2024

 So Sunday August 11 Tanner and his family were with us and as usual the brain drops things when distracted!  We had a very full week previous to him coming!  Monday we had district council and I took treats for the group! Realizing time is running out!  They continue to amaze us as we have gospel discussions and they council together over challenges!  Later we held family night at the institute.  We were in charge and we had ice cream Sundays.  Justin Reeder led a great discussion! We had about 45 kids.  An end of summer activity before the YSA’s head back to school!  Justin and Patti and Darrell were there with us. 

I finished altering Cherishes wedding dress and Tuesday she came to get it!   She gave. Me a Thankyou card with a very generous gift! I told her I couldn’t take pay but she said it was a gift!  So sweet of her!  I later used it to take Tanners family on the Alyeska tram!  A regift!! Pay it forward. 😇

I was able to work at the temple for one of my last times! I will miss this!  Also able to come back Wednesday night and do a session.  Really enjoy Wednesdays. Temple so close I can take two trips. Also a zoom call with my girls is a highlight. Don’t usually get all but some!! Gary was working on his institute lesson for Thursday night. The last of the summer!  It was a good one on our relationship with our Heavenly Father and his Son!  I made bread and we had a small but good group!  I held back three slices and the Stake Presidency were happy to have those!  We are good friends now!

We ended the week with a nice meal with Badgers at the Rustic Goat!!

Only in Alaska!!  We enjoy our time with them.  Had seminary training sat morning that took us right up to Tanner and Family arrival!!  No dull moments here!
