Ever Thoughtful!

 

Thank you from Kristi D after sending her a big bag of RIESENS where family members wrote reasons why they loved her.  Sh'e ALWAYS so appreciative!  Makes it easy to give her gifts.

Let's Play BALL!

 Calder pitched the 2nd inning of his last summer game.  He looks pretty professional, for sure.

He did really well. And, he made the running in to win the game by one point.  Go, Calder and Pirates!

When SORROW Pulls Out Its Calling Card

 

HUDSON LAWRENCE HADOBAS

June 5, 2025

Weight 5.6

No Known Medical Reason, but had probably been without life for five days.

How does one recover from this: I miraculously read this while in the temple on the day after this tragic event.  I was with the YW getting baptized and was reading this week's lesson and found this which seemed so fitting and to fit my situation:

3 Ye cannot behold with your natural eyes, for the present time, the design of your God concerning those things which shall come hereafter, and the glory which shall follow after much tribulation.

4 For after much tribulation come the blessings. Wherefore the day cometh that ye shall be crowned with much glory; the hour is not yet, but is nigh at hand.

I GO TO CAMP! Via a Pillow!

 

I've never had so much at camp!  I'm really enjoying it!  Oh, those adorable girls.  They make me smile.  What can I do to repay them????

MORE Humbling Moments

 Oh, those darling little girls in the YW class.

Look what two of them came running up to give me today at church:

(I had told them I was going to be getting sick today, so I wouldn't be a bee to go to camp with them tomorrow!)

These are from Tessa Reynolds and Maddie Beckstrom ( who will moving out of ward very soon...sad.)
