Dear Family,Well we are back io our schedule. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday are full with Church activities in the Missionary Department on Monday and the in the Temple Tuesday and Wednesday.
Thursday,went with Rebecca and her kids and met Cathy and her kids and had an outing at Sam's Club where they stocked up on food items. We then went to Gygi's and the gals picked up more cooking supplies. In the afternoon, Cathy came over to fix Mom's computer. Here is a shot of Cathy at the computer with daughter Lilly and we wonder why her email address contains the word "Wackycathy". She is a whiz on that computer.
Friday, we watched Becca's kids when she went for her followup ultrasoundand everything was OK. We went to Red Robin for lunch. That evening we had our dinner and theater date. We went with our group to the Hale Theater to see The Drowsy Chaperone which was a rousing musical set in the '20s. Her is her picture.
Saturday was the game at the U of U. They played Colorado State and beat them 58-10. It was raining and cold and we appreciated the warm box on the 50 Yard line. President Uchtdorf and his wife came into the box, said hello to Paul and turned and said hello to us. He seems to know who we are. He spoke German to us and I told him about Steffi's wedding in Freiberg. The U of U is eighth in the AP poll...not bad.
We left the game early to go to Stake Conference for our University Singles Stake. I did not have to speak but they had us stand up and review our family stats for the group. They had a good meeting. Sunday we went down for a Stake Leadership meeting from 8:30 to 9:30. At 10:00 there was a televised regional meeting with 71 stakes in attendance and it was translated into 15 languages. Elder Nelson and President Uchtdorf spoke and it was great. They made an appeal to have more missionaries serving young and old and even invited the sisters to serve if they wish.
Had two Blessings in the afternoon and in the evening, we went over to Cheryl and Paul's for their Scripture reading with the kids. They are on their best behavior during this time. Cheryl has her house all decked out for Halloween.
It is great to see family. Next event will be the baptims of Becca's Abigail and Emily's Joseph. Some of us will gather in our home for Thansksgiving and we are starting to plan.
Love you all...Dad

Don't know how you've caught up on lost sleep from your recent trip abroad! You've always got something going on - I'm missing out on all the happenings like Sam's club, those type of the outings are the best!
Dad, it was so fun to see you last week - the boys loved it, too. And thanks for the kefir milk!
