Busy Week

This last Sunday was fun. We went to church at the Guymon branch as usual, Jade Wilkins (He's the oldest of the Wilkins kids) Had received his mission call but hadn't opened it. He wanted to wait and invite the branch to his house to share in his excitement. So we went to their house at 6:30 to witness the opening of Jade's mission call and have ice cream sundaes. He was called to the San Jose Mission, in California (Spanish speaking). Almost everyone in the branch showed up. It was so cool because that would not happen in a ward. Everyone in a branch is so close and supportive of each other. They have to be, otherwise the branch would just dry up. We truly do become family. Plus it was Mothers Day! We were able to talk to the kids on the phone. I missed Ivan because we were in the middle of Jade opening his mission call. Sorry Ivan, but I saw your awesome instergram.

While we waited at the Walker's apartment till it was time to go to the Wilkin's, we had our usual lunch. Later Elder Walker gave a demonstration of how to play the saw. The younger missionaries had not seen him do this yet. Also one the the little sister missionaries made some wookies for us, they are cookie dough made on a waffle iron. They were really, really good! Cameron, a new convert who always has Sunday lunch with us at the Walkers, birthday was today! Happy Birthday Cameron. It will also be his last Sunday here in Guymon. He is going to get a job elsewhere and go to school at BYU Idaho this fall. When he has been a member long enough to become an Elder and finished a semester he will be going on a mission. You rock Cameron, you will be an awesome missionary!

Wookies, Yum!

This week we have finished the new stairs to house #3, tore out the carpet in the basement, tore out all the old pluming, mowed all the lawns, tore up all the concrete from the garage, steps and sidewalks, went to town three times, and took care of our garden. We have planted several types of tomatoes (Sister Dustin loves tomatoes), crook neck squash, zucchini, cucumbers, pumpkins, watermelon, tomotios, hot and sweet peppers. We aren't expecting to much with all the rabbits, gophers and weather changes. But it's fun to try and amazing to watch how fast it's growing.

To top it off, Sister Dustin and I went to quilt club Tuesday. Sister Dustin joined the club, she's really into quilting. She has a long arm quilter at home. Next meeting we will be working on the bull's eye quilt.

Love you, miss you!


Good day!
