Happy Father's Day!

      We want to wish all of you "fathers" a Happy Father's Day. To our sons, thank you for your love and care of our daughters. Thank you for teaching our grandchildren to be honest, kind, loving, and dependable by your examples. To our brothers, thank you for your wisdom, love, and support throughout our lives. Thank you for the way you take care of our sisters. To our fathers and grandfathers, we are so thankful for the heritage they have given to us. And especially thank you to our Heavenly Father for his love, patience, and miracles that have blessed our lives.

      Here, Father's Day is always on the 17th, no matter what day of the week it falls on. It is not as big as Mother's Day, sorry fathers, but our ward is having a Father's Day party in a week. Only one week late. They did cancel Stake Choir Practice for it though. Did I tell you that they have started practicing for Stake Conference a month earlier than they had announced. Elder Thompson was not too thrillled, but he went anyway. He informs me that I will pay for it when we get home. It is wonderful to have a companion who supports the things that bring so much joy into my life.

      We had a busy week at the temple with more Saints from Honduras, and lots of buses from San Miguel. San Miguel is one of the farthest places from the temple. It is just like in the states, whoever lives the farthest from the temple, usually support it the best because they can't say, I'll go tomorrow. They have to plan the trip. It is amazing, now we don't get excited when we have 4 or 6 buses here. We just take it in stride because there is only so much room in the temple and we can't squeeze more in. We did have an extra session on Wednesday night to try to meet the needs of the patrons. It has been a good week.

 

      The Walker family leave on Tuesday and a new family arrived today. We will miss the Walkers and look forward to getting to know the new family.

 

      We hope you all have a great week, We are on the AM Shift so it will be survival week here. We just hope to be on our feet when Saturday comes and we have to be at the temple by 4:30 AM. But thanks to your prayers in our behalf, we have been able to keep up with the schedules that we have. We love you Lon and Nancy, Dad and Mom, Grandma and Grandpa.
