Nick's Farewell Sunday!

Today was Nick's last Sunday in the Oakbrook ward until he returns home from his mission.

He spoke in Sacrament Mtg. He gave a wonderful talk on the Book of Mormon being the keystone of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Ben and Jacquie sang Called to Serve. And the meeting would not have been complete without the ward tradition of the all priesthood choir singing The Army of Helaman for the closing Song.

We had one of his favorite dinners. Sunday delight or Hawaiian Haystacks.

Rusty wanted to be in the pictures too!

Zone Conference

This morning I went and helped with the lunch at the Missionary Zone Conference. We served soup in bread bowls. I was having an enjoyable time working with the Sisters from our Relief Sociaty. I had a very hard time when the Missionaries sang to us after they ate. They sang Called To Serve. I could not stop the tears, it was really embarrasing to say the least. Moms who have experienced this know what I am talking about, Moms who have not your turn will come. It is all worth it!! A trip to the house this afternoon showed more progress. The rails are in and the paint is suppose to done in the next day or so. I am looking forward to a painted house! Kirra is getting along well with our crazy schedules. Rusty likes her on his own terms.
