Last Week of April 2013

Dear Sister Sarah Sheffer, April 29, 2013
We went to Kim's Graduation. You can go to our Face book and see two pictures that we posted. One is of Alan, Kim, and Lizzy stand in front of the entrance sign to BYU. The other is a picture of Me, Dad, and Bert standing at the same place. Wow, time flies.
We were grandma and grandpa this week. We watched Lizzy and Malleya so Kim could finish her last test and so that Nick and Amber, Alan and Kim, could go on the date with James Anderson and someone that Amber knows. Malleya loves us but Lizzy how no idea how to react to us. She is now calling us Papa. She is always on the go and Malleya is so graceful and loves to dance to any music.
On Sunday we invited Grandma Duncan and Aya to come over for dinner. We celebrated my fathers 99th birthday and my father and mother's 66 wedding anniversary. We had a salmon dinner and play a game.
I have been assigned to visit teach and we have been assigned to do the ward party, Cinco de Mayo, on the 3rd of May. We are gathering the needed supplies. Everyone kept on saying, "What if it rains?" I said, "It won't rain." When I was a activities chairman for the ward in year past that is how I would always answer that question. They replies with, "Sister Sheffer is back." It will be nice to see everyone at the party.
We called three people in Visalia last night to see how they were doing. It was nice to hear from them. One was the Browns. They went to sacrament meeting and stayed for all of the meetings. That was a first. We miss and love so many people.
The Williams, the couple who replaced us, called and talked to Dad this morning while I was doing visiting teaching. They said that Sunday was a very busy day and they were telling people, "We are not as young as the Sheffer's. They are in their 50s. We are twice that age." When they were telling this to Dad he said, "You are 100?" They laughed.
I hope to write my father's life history and have it finished by his birthday next year. That will be the 100th anniversary of his birth. So, we will have a party on April 28, 2013. This November will be Grandma's 90th birthday and we will celebrate that in style.
We are excited to hear where you will serve for the next six weeks. What is the weather like right now? Who is your companion? We love seeing pictures of you and reading your emails. We are still working on writing letters. You are so loved.  God Bless Mom and Dad
