Dear Family,

This week we have been busy with the grandchildren. Maria's tribe came over Saturday. I was off to the temple praying about names for a new position in the Ward. Very strange how those answers come. I did not feel good about those name for one reason or not and I left the temple asking the Lord to let me know if there were someone else out there. Sure enough when I went up to the church parking lot for the HALLOWEEN ACTIVITY my man was there. I called the new Ward MIssion leader today and he will be sustained next week. WE had new people come out today, yet when the Ward started we only had 25 members there and after Sacrament there were at least 50. I talked last week, because of extra time left amd Bro Standing talked this week since there was on speaking calling in sick.

Last Friday Kyle went to SLC for a job interview at Hill Air Force Base. If the isn't a catcher nothing is! Our prayers are with you, Kyle. Cindy's Tribe came Friday. We went to the park to play scoccer and got home right before dark. The kids had fun running, kicking, bouncing the ball past the goal against grandpa, watching the Gordan Russel Football Team, rolling down the hill (don't tell mom!), and playing in the sand by the track. We started home when it started to lightly strinkle. It was a good excuse to come home. Shad was wet so we had to dry his pants in the dryer when he got back. He really didn't like the pink loaner sweat pants, but they were the only ones in the house.

This week the class has been studying clocktime. some students have become real experts! The other class is doing a power point on Portland all in Spanish. If you were to say I would use this technology 10 years ago I would have said you are crazy, but the kids know all about this technology so I am the expert with the Language and the students work very well by themselves on their power points.

Mom is busy with her genalogy as usual. She found somebody who is related to Robert Moosman in 1843. she sent the email for contact information and hopefully she will get some info back this coming week. She went to the library with some friends this week and they are finding info a bunch on their family names that needed to be done. As you know there nothing mom can't find for genalogy.

Hope your week goes well.

Love you all!

Dad
