It Has Been a Nice Sunday


Today has been a good day for us. Dick was able to attend the Pattee's welcome home speeches at their ward. It was the first time he has gone to church in three weeks. The Pattees gave great talks and inspired us all to continue to want to serve missions.
Dick felt pretty good. He slept in the morning, we went to the Sacrament meeting in the afternoon, he came home and had another nap, and then he took a walk around the ward with Ron Dennis. Then, the family came over for dinner and we had a nice visit with them. He was tired when everyone left but managed to do some reading.


Abish came to dinner and made a lucious cake for desert. Jenny and the kids came, but Ryan was in meetings all afternoon, so he didn't come. Jenny made a nice salad and cookies.


Abish is going to be leaving on Friday to go home to Singapore. Hopefully, she will finish up her interview with the stake president on Tuesday so her missionary papers can go in. She will receive her call in Singapore. Any guesses as to where she will go? She is very excited about going home, as she has not been home in two years, and she is anxious to see her family. We will miss her. She has been such a postive influence on our family. Jenny's kids LOVE her and didn't want to say goodbye to her. She is a fun person and will be a great missionary. We all love Abish.

Dick looks good and sounds like he is improving a little each day--great news!

It will be exciting to hear about Abish's mission call.
