Week 64
Really not a whole lot to report--another busy week of lesson preparation and teaching, but nothing out of the ordinary in that.  We love the time/assignment we have to study the gospel and then teach and discuss it with our classes.

FHE was a photo scavenger hunt.  Five groups had 50 minutes to find and take a picture of as many items on the list of 27 campus spots as possible.  We didn't look for anything, but did stroll around campus, and ran into a couple of groups madly looking for the spots described on the list.  They had a great time, and the winning group found 26 of the items or places.

Wednesday Kerby told me to come look out the window.  He said, "Quick--it's some kind of blue bird!"  I looked and said, "Well, it's actually a bluebird."  There were three of them outside our bedroom window.

Such a welcome visitor--the bluebird of happiness!

Wednesday evening we had a ward temple baptism trip, so we had a carload of YSAs, which we always enjoy.  One of the young men did a baptism for Heidi's grandfather.  Then on Friday we went to the temple again with Heidi, and Kerby was proxy for her grandfather's ordinances.  It was special to me, because I knew Heidi's grandfather from my young adult days when her mother, Paula, and I were friends in Kansas City.

In honor of Chinese New Year yesterday, I made a Chinese dinner for the missionaries today.  Happy Year of the Rooster!  I got to spend two lunar new year days in Taiwan on my mission, and fell in love with the holiday.  Hard to convey what a big deal it is to westerners, but it is huge in Asia or Asian communities around the world. Here's a website for just a glimpse:  http://www.aljazeera.com/indepth/inpictures/2017/01/year-rooster-millions-chinese-year-170128052310196.html
