What a Week!

We were so excited to welcome Kyle home on Sunday.

But it was a Relief Society Sunday, so a FULL day.

Ward Council, then Sacrament Mtg, then RS,

then meet with 2 sisters for Self Reliance Plans

and food orders, then meet with the Bishop to download....

We got to church at 10:30 and left at 4:30.

Kyle took lots of picture and did a couple of drone flights.

But mostly he mowed.

And then he headed home.

Didn't hang around.

Monday was Rod's birthday!

Kyle and I brought him some lunch at work.

In the middle of a torrential downpour.

(A theme for the week...)

I had a presidency meeting with just my 1st counselor

and we went over the ministering assignments again.

We have had a bunch of new families move in 

recently and needed to revamp.

That took over 2 hours....

During the meeting I got a call that Denine was headed

to the ER - she was sick (again - poor lady!)

Then Kyle and I headed to Walmart for his groceries.

Unfortunately, I totally forgot to announce the Night RS activity

for Tuesday night in RS and there were no handouts,

so Monday evening I sent a personal text to EVERY

active-ish sister in the ward inviting them to the activity.

We had a book exchange.

Kyle made some yummy fajitas for Rod's birthday dinner.

Tuesday I headed in early to get things ready for the

Building Official who only works on Tues and Thurs.

Since Denine left on Monday morning there was 

A LOT to catch up on and I ended up working

all the way until 5:00.

I had a continuing education class to watch on zoom

during my lunch hour and learned some good

information I can use in my classes.

And then we had our activity which turned out really

well and was well attended.

Lots of book exchanging, snacking, and

CHATTING! (And babies!!!!)

It was combined with all 3 wards in the building, so the sisters

had a great opportunity to get together with old and new friends

and just visit. Something that is sorely lacking in this world these days.

More torrential thunderstorms.

We have been rewarded with some amazing sunsets though!

Wednesday we were up early and headed over to the

Bishop's Storehouse where they had lots of orders that

needed to be filled, but thankfully lots of people to help.

(Last week Kyle and I didn't go, I worked at the town and

he was in Kansas, but the other couple didn't show either and

neither did the sister missionaries - so they were VERY

short-handed...)

We helped out there until noon and then headed home

in time for a torrential thunderstorm - so I took a nap!

And now I'm all packed and getting ready to head over

to pick up my rental car and head out early

to hopefully avoid the torrential thunderstorm 

they are forecasting for this afternoon.

Hahahahaha.

I'll try to post this week while I'm in Tampa.

But if not... know that I am thinking of you!
