This week the Branch Relief Society had a dinner to honor their husbands for Father's day. After the dinner a Cornhole Tournament was held. A Cornhole game is a cross between horseshoes and a bean bag toss. Each player has four bean bags that are tossed at a six inch hole in a board like the two in the bottom of the picture. The boards are set apart about the same distance as horseshoe pegs. You can lob the bag in or slide it in and you get points for being close. It was good enjoyable inside fun. In the picture is one of our traveling elders and the Branch President's wife. Each team was made up of two players. I teamed up with the former Branch President and as luck would have it, we were runners up to the winners.
We love our traveling elders that visit our branch twice a week. Elder Thompson is on my right and he is from Eagle, Idaho. Elder Sorenson is on Sister Peterson's left and he is from Las Vegas, Nevada. They are very good and we enjoy working with them. They really enjoyed being at the RS social because there were three non-members and a couple of inactives in attendance and they love to play Cornhole.
One of the young families that attended the social that we have been teaching. Last week we team taught them with the traveling elders. We have really enjoyed getting to know them and love their little ones. we have high hopes for them.
Our Branch President with his family. He is a convert of about 15 years. He does a great job and carries a heavy load in this small branch. We really respect and enjoy him and his wife. Their daughter, Regan is adopted. She is the sweetest thing and always comes up and gives us a big hug when she sees us.
We spent most of this week cleaning our new "digs" and moving in. I am a day late with the blog because we were still getting settled. This week it is on with missionary work and it started with a bang. Today we began teaching a new lady the discussions. She has already came to Sacrament Meeting several times and has been reading the Book of Mormon. She has been saying her prayers and already believes the Church is true. She is a missionary's dream and maybe we might get a baptism yet?

Funny how the couch in the meetinghouse looks the same as the one in our building.
ReplyDeleteBlazing hot in Utah--100 degrees and so many fires that you can hardly open the windows. I am hosting a lunch after Josh's endowment session at the house on Sat. and trying to think of something COOL.
I was thinking the same thing about the couch. Baby V is getting 4 molars all at once and has two bottom teach cutting through as well. However, she is still happy baby. Especially when she gets to play in the mud or the sprinkler. Is it bad that I let her play in both everyday? She has also learned how much fun Cheerios are. We have them everywhere.
