First Weekend Home

 FRIDAY, JUNE 28

I was able to go to the Orem Temple with Emery to get her endowments for her mission.  It was such an amazing experience!  After we went to lunch at Zuppas!  Yolanda was so happy to have all of her kids in the temple with her!

SATURDAY, JUNE 29

Kaylee and I took the puppies for a walk on the Weeping Rock Trail.


I was able to take Kaylee, Aaron, Josh, Kenna, Ben and Tyler to lunch. (Sam was in Seattle, Jake was doing at home MTC, and Joey and Maggie couldn't come) It was fun to hear them tell stories and laugh. We went to Chom Burger and it was all so yummy.  Everyone got a burger and then we shared the tator tots, sweet potato fries, fries and onion rings!

That afternoon, my sweet daughter gave me a much needed pedicure!

To beat the heat, we went to Aaron's sisters apartment and went swimming.  It was so nice to cool off and get some sun.  Then we went to Jurassic Taco for dinner.  I love that they have a salsa bar with many options! One thing we do for sure when I am home is eat out...a lot!



SUNDAY, JUNE 30

Happy 24th anniversary to me and Cory!  This is the first one we have spent apart!  I went to church and it was so nice to have it in English!



Then I hung out with my puppies on the deck...we can't get enough cuddle time!

 We had a long, holiday weekend so we went to Mikembo with Moren & Sisca, Darius & Leonie, Leslie, Trent, Scotty & Kayla and kids! It was my first time being there and I loved it!  I was a little nervous when I heard we would be camping in tents, but it wasn't that bad. The tents were "nice" and we just sprayed for insects 2-3 times a day. There was a pavilion where we cooked, visited, and ate. There was a pavilion closer to the river that had couches and a table. People napped there, we played games there and just relaxed!  It was very green, because of the rainy season. It was a very beautiful place!  Simi playing around in the eating pavilion.  Caught Cory taking a nap! You can see the tents in the background. Scotty and Trent went and found some wild mushrooms and cooked them up! I was excited to taste them, I love mushrooms!  These particular ones were not my favorite...they had a flavor I didn't like.    It was very hot and humid...

 Thursday, January 30, Morne had me work from home. He didn't want us leaving the compound. I spent the morning doing my normal work and then at 2:45 in the afternoon, Sisca came knocking on my door telling me there was an emergency meeting called at 3:00 and Morne wanted all of us on the phone for it.  We met in Leonie's house and called in.  Morne started out by telling us that the M23 Rwandan rebels, who had already taken over Goma in the North, had started moving south and were planning on taking over Bukavu.  They announced their intentions to continue moving south taking over Mbuji-Mayi, Kananga, Lubumbashi, and then make their was to Kinshasa. The US Embassy had already been attacked and set fire to.  There was discussion about what we should do and the home office was involved too.  It was decided that all the women and children should leave. We didn't know for how long, but because the airport is also the military base, they wanted us to leave whil...

  Monday, July 1 I was able to be in town for this Westland Breakfast!  It was so fun to get together with all the women of Westland and laugh, visit and eat good food! One of my favorite things about Monday's in the summer is Springville City's Farmers Market!  We love to go walk around and look at all the fun booths then get some yummy food from the food trucks and share!  This time we got alfredo pasta, calzone, corn dogs, California roll sushi, BBQ brisket with garlic mashed potatoes.  Our favorite was the corn dogs and least favorite was the calzone.  I tried the sushi and it wasn't that bad...but there was no raw fish so apparently it's not real sushi! Tuesday, July 2 We got up at 5:30 so we could go fishing up at Strawberry.  Kim and Janet met us up there.  I dressed for warm weather and it was so cold that morning.  I was bundled up in blankets and sweatshirts.  It warmed up as the morning went on.  It was so nice to be out ...
