Recitals May 20, 2013
I had a very nice Mother's Day. I was proclaimed Queen of everything and given an apron as my royal gown. We also had the family for dinner where David baked homemade pizza. When the dinner was finished it was time to Skype with Sister Sarah Sheffer. We each took turns visiting with her and it was great to see her. She looks wonderful. She will be home on the 13th of June and her homecoming we found out will be on Father's Day. (1:00 P.M. 400 West 1800 South, Orem, Utah) It sounds like she will be sharing the meeting with another returning sister missionary from our ward, Rebecca Hartshorn. I remember Merrill also reported his mission on Father's Day. We will have a pot luck luncheon before the meeting since the sacrament starts at 1:00pm. (445 West 1800 South Orem)
For Family night we invited Lizzy and Malleya to come and play in the irrigation water. They had a great time with all the water. We are sure they will come again. This was the first time of watering for the season and the yard and garden were drinking the water long and deeply. We are sure that this week it will not take as long. The garden is in and one of the cucumbers is up. We love to play in the dirt. Fresh veggies are on the way.
We had the opportunity to watch Lizzy while Alan and Kim went to Stein Ericksen's in Park City for their fourth anniversary. She is still getting to know us but with her regular bedtime routine she settled down and slept for eight hours. Thank goodness! These days we need our beauty rest. It was nice to enjoy her personality.
We were invited to attend two amazing events this week. Friday night was Taffy's dance program and Saturday afternoon was Gator's piano recital. Taffy's costume was adorable. It had a bead necklace and pink gloves. She loved the idea of wearing makeup. She has such grace. Gator wore a beautiful dress for her recital and she had great poise as she announced her pieces and played them beautifully. There were great opportunities for picture taking.
Meg called from Japan and asked if I would email her some experiences that I had while being at temple dedications or attending the temple. She had been asked to teach Relief Society. I was awake at two in the morning and realized that with the time difference in Japan I needed to type it up and send it of quickly or she wouldn't have time to translate before her meeting began. Two hours later it was ready but we were spending the night at Bert's and we didn't have internet access. So as soon as Bert was awake the email was sent. We heard from Meg that she received it but we didn't hear if she was able to use it. We know that temple attendance helps us in so many ways, especially with enduring to the end.
God Bless You All, David and Gaile Sheffer
