Payton-Rise Up Campout

Payton had the opportunity to attend the Rise Up campout.  This is a once and a life time event.  It was to honor 100 years that Boys Scouts have been in the LDS church.  There were over 10,5000
scouts that attended this event.  It was for 3 days.  Payton had a great time, and learned a lot of things.  They had many activities for the boys to do.  He earned the Thomas S. Monson award, that he was thrilled about.  He especially liked the coin that he received.  Great job Payton!!!!

Willy- transfer week

Willy is getting a new companion and area today. He was not sure where it was for sure.  He loves change and getting to know more people.  He is a good people person and makes friends quickly. He loves his mission and has had many great opportunities to work with non members and new converts.  He is so glad he made the decision to go.  Great job Elder!

Elder Thomas update

Willy is doing great!  He is having "the time of his life" according to him.  He is so happy about the way his mission has gone and the things he has learned.  He feels like it has be the best thing ever.  Not much to say this week other than he is so happy and blessed with this experience.  Keep it up Elder!

Yikes, mom is sick!

JoLynn went to bed friday night and about 130am woke up in pain and could  not swallow, made a run to the E.R. It looked as if she had a abcess tonsil, they started i.v's and blood work, pain medication and a steroid.  Started some i.v. antibiotics.  Rough event.  Was sent home with the i.v. and told to come back Saturday.  Went back Saturday and had a treatment, then told to come back Sunday for another treatment.  Got the i.v. out on Sunday, has to start oral antibiotics tomorrow for 2 weeks.  What a rough go round.  She is feeling better now, but still sluggish.  What a freak little thing that turned out to be severe tonsilitis. 

Willy-transfer day!

Willy got transferred,  he will be closer to Calgary now.  He is doing super.  He was sad to leave the companion, they have done well together.  He is so happy about the things that he has done.  He loves his mission and so thankful he could go. 
Keep up the good work son!!!

Rugby season over!

The Rugby season has come to an end.  What a great season it has been.  We had a banquet tonight and the captains were named for next year.  Noah will be a co-captain for the forwards.  He is very excited about it.  He got an award for the "most dedicated player"!  It was a great event and he has grown so much for the sport of Rugby.  He has made good friends.  We are proud of him and excited for next season.  Go Portneuf Valley Honey  Badgers.
