2 months out. Wow!

Look how big our baby geese are getting.  The one on the left looks so awkward.  He must be in his teen years (hehe). He was the only one standing up, but they were all there, resting in the shade.  The parents aren't nearly so protective anymore, just kind of sit around while their kids eat them out of house and home!

The bottom picture is of our Mission President (in the back) and his wife at their final Senior Couple FHE.  The missionaries made them a quilt with the names of all the missionaries and volunteers from the community they have worked with over the last 3 years.  Their last day here is June 28th.  They have a daughter getting married the next week, and a grandbaby being born then also.  So they are excited to get back to their lives, but really sad, too.  This guy buys shoes, shirts, books, you name it for his missionaries.  He even bought several cars and had them driven to some outgoing missionaries homes so they could go to school.  He is really amazing.  He has told the sister m's to call him when they choose someone to marry, and he will fly to wherever they are and take the guy in a back room and grill him!  If he doesn't meet his standard, they're out!  He's very funny, but he really means it!

We had a good week.  Dad gave 2 blessings, and we went to a baptism last night.  The room was packed.  Everybody is very supportive of each other.  We continue to see more people come to the MSA magnet ward.  We had some more new faces this week. 

Our bishop sent us to a meeting for a cancer awareness relay that will take place next month.  He wanted us to be in charge of it.  It's called "Relay for Life" and is an annual event.  It's sponsored by St. Andrew's church in Saratoga, CA, and is a good opportunity to rub shoulders with the community and make missionary contacts.  We sat through a 2 hour, very boring meeting!  Our ward will sponsor a team, and they will take pledges and raise  money for cancer research.  It is very involved, so we decided we couldn't head up the team, as we wouldn't have time for our other responsibilities, but we will participate.  We thought we would walk/run for Herb Edwards and the Senior Elder we are serving with, Elder Layton.  We will also put Grandpa Crockett's name on our list.  And Carol, and Matt.  Anyone else? They have luminaries they light the night of, to remember those who have died of or are battling cancer.  We are excited to be a part of it.
