Week 54
Another quiet week for us.  FHE was a bonfire by the light of the Super Moon.  It wasn't cold, but it's definitely cooling off around here.

The excitement on Monday was Jeron receiving his mission call. Well, actually, his mission call was lost in the mail, but he got visa papers from his mission, so learned he was going to the Austria German Speaking Mission.  He is super excited because he lived in that area for four years while his father was in the military.  Jeron has been in a couple of our institute classes, and we love his love of the gospel and his great insights.  He's going to be a wonderful missionary.

My great-nephew Brigham left the MTC this week bound for the Washington, Vancouver mission.  Another wonderful missionary!

Wednesday was transfer day for the young missionaries--we lost Sister Belshe to Cushing, and Elder Richardson to home.  We enjoyed both of them very much.  The new missionaries in our ward are Sister Allred from Utah and Elder Riffenburg from California.

Good--bye to Sister Belshe and Elder Richardson
The semester is almost over (just two weeks left).  We have enjoyed teaching the Doctrine and Covenants and the Book of Mormon.  This week Kerby taught about the love of Christ as described in Moroni 7.  He used an excerpt from Elder Holland's book stating that the only truly charitable act was the Savior's atonement, and without His love we are nothing.  The Book of Mormon is the most remarkable book, and teaching about and from it for a whole year has been a great blessing to us.
