That Day When Calder Got Ordained

 

Sunday, January 18, 2025 in Provo, Utah.

I LOVE these Book Club Ladies!

 Simply - the Best of the BEST!

Tamy Oliver - her lovely home

Katrina Householder, Peggy Hrabar, Rachel Webb, Rachel Bills, Heather Smith, Loretta Allam.

And, yes, we actually did discuss the book, but we had a great time sharing some fun stories. 

 I feel so blessed to have these women in my life!  Thank you Heavenly Father.

Blessings All Around!

 Doris and I went to see Allison for her birthday yesterday.  Allison has been such a great blessing in my life, as has Doris.  After we visited with Allison, Doris asked me to come in and visit.  Which we did for quite awhile.

Then, this morning, I was set apart as a service missionary for the Family Search Virtual Records Operation Center.  

President swells gave me a beautiful blessing which I wish I could have written down.  

In the blessing he Said I should keep a record of the miracles and what is happening on my mission.  He blessed me that I would have temple experiences that were enhanced by this mission.  He said that I should SHARE my experiences with others.  He blessed me with good health and issues I have will not interfere with the mission.  I wish I could remember it all, it was very inspiring.

I FEEL BLESSED!   Thank you, Heavenly Father!

Sunday Night Craft Time with Jenni

 First she gave Allen a haircut, which absolutely looks professional.   

But then the good times roll in:

She's knitting, I'm crocheting.  And, boy, did she help me with my easy project.  Man, I'm hopeless and helpless.

Sunday nights are always a treat when Jenni shows up!  What a blessing to have her so close!  I'm grateful.

FUN Times Continue....

Sunday dinner at teh Ericsson home....great fun, good times, and delicious food.

Dozens of nativity sets were on display at the LDS Visitor's center.  But, the astounding thing is, they were from ONE LADY!  And, these were only 1/3 of them.  Oh, it was so delightful to go thru and peruse these amazing sets from all over the world.

One of the teeny tiny ones.  

The sister missionary's favorite one.  With Joseph tending the baby while Mary sleeps.  

Also on display were copies of stain-glassed panels from the Rome Temple.  There are dozens and dozens of significant details from the New Testament and the life of the Saviour.  It is marvelous.  It took the husband and wife three years to complete it.

Gigi and I were both inspired to see these remarkable and inspiring displays of people's talents.
