The Many Adventures of Janae and Kay

I forgot to mention Janell and I went to Logan for a week just before she went to Brazil. She went to EFY (Especially for youth camp) Area Program at Utah State University Institute, and I visited with sister-in-laws and Kay's parents. Janell went with 4 cousins and one cousin friend. These girls were all between the ages of 14-18. We stayed at Kay's mom's house in the large family room on 4 blow up air mattresses etc. The camp went from 9AM-9PM Monday-Friday. We had so many girls I drove some of them there. The institute parking was almost a mile away up hill so we figured if Amber and I drove there, parked her car at the parking lot, I could drive them up the hill and they could walk down the hill when it was done and squish in Amber's car to get home.

My sister in laws were there too. It was one big giant slumber party with 3 adults, 6 young women, 3 pre teen girls and grandpa and grandma. Grandpa was the lone man. While they were at camp the rest of us went to two movies, the senior center (a tradition) and a fun park. Ben and Winnifred do a lot of volunteer work at the Senior center and the Tabernacle. One day the non camp goers all went to the center to help put together commodities and one day we had lunch there. At the fun park the little girls roller skated while four moms played a game. Leah and I played Laser tag with the pre teen girls. 3 girls vs. 2 moms. It was quite fun and I got a work out. At home We had our scrap books out to work on a bit. It was nice to be with the family and the teen girls had a great time bonding and hanging out.

We drove Winnifred and Ben a little batty, who wouldn't with all the females invading their basement? They were good sports and we really appreciate them.

Caleb's mission countdown is less than a month. A guy from his school went into the MTC (Mission Training Center) today, last night his stake President called him with a reassignment. Instead of going to Russia, he was assigned to California, Spanish speaking!

I was at sistermissionarymall.com store last week. The store has missionary clothing and modest clothing, I stop in there regularly because my friend owns it and I like it. It was pretty dead there with three clerks and a few patrons. I found what I wanted and stood at the counter to check out. One clerk asked the young woman when she was going into the MTC. She said "July 30". I butted in (I know you are surprised because I am so shy) and said "so is my son" I asked where she was going and she said Korea Pusan so I said "so is my son" small world. Then the clerk said her brother in law is going there in September! Small, small world.
